I am a Moderator Pro Tempore for this site. That means I do things like handling flags, approving/rejecting edits, and generally help the community in any way I can. I'm here to help! If you have a question, I try to stay in our chat room almost all the time, even if I'm not at my computer. To get my attention, just post a message in chat with @Josh in it, and I'll respond as soon as I can.
I can also be reached from my website or via email at cogsci -at- josh -dot- gitlin -dot- name. If you have an any issues please don't hesitate to contact me.
I am not actually a Cognitive Scientist. I am Chief Technology Officer and the senior software developer at Digital Fruition, LLC. I am an avid user of Stack Exchange sites and fascinated by the workings of the mysterious and complex computer we call the human mind.
I believe firmly in this community and try to do do everything I can to help it grow! I am frequently on Meta where we discuss issues about this site. I'm very approachable. If you have a question or an issue, find me in chat or @ me on one of my posts. While I may not be the most knowledgable user about Cognitive Sciences on our site, I know a lot about Stack Exchange!

Subtle manipulation in commercials - Kindle Fire HD Given some support from the community I went ahead and closed this question. After discussing it in chat, Jeff mentioned a great point: the question could possibly be re-worded asking about a specific effect ("are brighter stimuli typically judged more positively than dark stimuli?") offering the commercial as incidental evidence. If you'd be willing to rework the question along those lines Albert, I will gladly reopen. |

Subtle manipulation in commercials - Kindle Fire HD Speaking as a community member and not as a moderator, this feels too specific to me. I'm not sure if analyizing a specific commercial makes for a good question, rather, I'd prefer to see this question talk about a broader marketing/psychological concept. If my close votes were not binding I would vote to close as "Too Localized" |

Does associating a color with numbers improve math learning? Tangentially related question, definitely not a dupe. |

Learning of new concepts being impeded by an error in previous work Sometimes this happens to me in programming as well. I'm going to guess that this has to do with overconfidence leading to not thoroughly examining the more simple areas, but I'm interested to see what the answers are! |
