Class Notes - June 29

Internet - Packets
• Send receiving packets follows the same communication model that we discussed with probes and feedback.
Pashler, Cepeda, Wixted
• Common sense? Then why is there research? Be weary when researchers make appeals to "common sense"
• Claims that environment didn't significantly affect the learning/performance
• Correct answers were unaffected by feedback
• Incorrect answers need immediate correct-response feedback
• Difference between omissions and comissions
• Computers can be programmed to provide this type of feedback very efficiently

Ted Talk - Elizabeth Gilbert on Nurturing Creativity
• We accept the notion that creativity and suffering are linked. Why? We shouldn’t!
• Tips - Keep the writing self and the anxious self distant from each other
○ Rome ad Greece - attributed creativity to outside, distant sources. Keeps you from Narcissism and anxiety
○ Renaissance - Shift from outside sources to being from the self. This pressure is what kills off artists.
