Lexical Decision (Web-)App nice, thanks for the contribution! |

Are there any free databases of audio-visual emotional stimuli (English)? duplicate? or are you specifically looking for stimuli that are audio AND visual, rather than audio OR visual? |

Analyzing control questions data for a survey agreed, this should definitely be a first step before "correcting" the "problem" |

How to use Mechanical Turk for longer studies (i.e., 30 minutes+)? There are no real restrictions on what you can do for an mturk study; all experiment code can be hosted and run on your own servers. |

Analyzing control questions data for a survey As for the issue of satisficing, I'm simply answering the OP's question. He is concerned about it, and other researchers have voiced concerns as well. I never claimed that it was a widespread problem, but it appears to be a problem in at least some circumstances. |

Analyzing control questions data for a survey @GaëlLaurans I am not suggesting the use of Cronbach's alpha here. I mentioned it because it seems like that's the solution OP was trying to employ, but as I said in my post it is inappropriate here. As for the Facebook example-- don't take it too literally. I'm promoting the general idea behind an IMC, and not advocating for a specific implementation. There are probably more effective examples. |

What is the maximum number of objects an average human being can recognize at once? also remember that if you can subitize 4 items, counting to 5-6 will only tack on about 250-500ms, a very short amount of time. so i think it's difficult to establish whether you're counting or subitizing without using more controlled chronometry |

What is the maximum number of objects an average human being can recognize at once? @what the average is about 4, but there is definitely a range. you may be on the high end of the spectrum. there are two other alternatives i can think of: for eggs in a carton, you may simply be recognizing specific spatial patterns and associating them with numeric quantities. similarly for apples or other objects, perhaps you're using total spatial area as a proxy for quantity. these are not really subitizing, as they are domain-specific and rely on expertise. |

Math or Physics: Which is the more relevant background to enter Cognitive Sciences and Psychology? +1 there's also a good amount of physics involved in some methodologies, like the physics of how fMRI work (NMR) |

Computational Neuroscience software As is, this question is overly broad and open-ended. Please consider editing your question to be more focused and address a problem that you face, rather than simply a discussion. |

How to design research participant recruitment flyer to maximise participant response? IMO this is a little too open-ended and "discussion-y"; unless of course there an empirical paper on which techniques are most effective! also, it's not very specific to cogsci-- lots of disciplines post recruitment fliers. perhaps a question better asked in chat... |

What is the status of evolutionary psychology in academia today? Also see the Wikipedia list of evolutionary psychology programs |

What is the status of evolutionary psychology in academia today? Interesting, but note that OP is asking about the status of evolutionary psychology today, not in 1981. I suppose what you're saying is that these articles commonly appear on social psych syllabi today? |

Deception and nose touching - does it work for things that are about to be said in prepared speeches? @AlexStone I'm not sure either, but it seems like something we need to confirm before we're able to answer the main portion of your question... |

Does higher Electronic use relate to lower memory Hi elder4222, this is an interesting question but it has been asked before! (see this question). I have flagged to close as duplicate. |

Inducing Auditory-to-Visual Synesthesia also, could you possibly cite or provide a link to the original video if possible? it could help us figure out if a) your interpretation is simply incorrect or b) the claim isn't really a scientific one, etc. |

Inducing Auditory-to-Visual Synesthesia i understand. my concern is that 'synesthesia' is a neurological conditions, and so it is impossible to 'induce synesthesia' by virtue of its definition (short of rewiring the cortex...). Perhaps just changing it to 'synesthesia-like symptoms' would suffice, or maybe someone else has a better suggestion |

Inducing Auditory-to-Visual Synesthesia I have edited this question because I don't believe this qualifies as synesthesia. Let me know if you think I've altered the meaning of your question. |

Should questions in psychology always be objective questions? @Xurtio nice analogy... |
