Syllabus - just a general version. Not the current one. If you are registered in my class, you can get a current copy from me or from the course website which is password protected.
Current books are listed on the syllabus link. These will be used for Spring and Summer 2011. Be sure that you purchase a NEW version of CogLab. The access code only works once!
9/22/3 - This one has been going around the net - good example of top down
processing. Don't buy the claim of research though. Too general.
A psychologist would cite their source!

We keep adding words to any language. I'm not sure these all need to be in
the dictionary, but apparently Merriam-Webster felt the need. They update the
dictionary with new words once every ten years. Its 11th edition is due out in
stores today. (AP) Here are some of them with definitions... Headbanger -
defined as both a hard rock musician and a fan
Dead presidents - paper currency
McJob - low paying and dead-end work
Frankenfood - genetically engineered food
Longneck - beer served in a bottle with a long neck
Dot-commer - someone who works for an online outfit
Oy – a Yiddish exclamation
Comb-over - an attempt to cover a bald spot
