Linguistics 001 -- Lecture 24 -- Language and Law The meaning of (legal) meaning Legal decisions may depend on how the specific words of a statute or contractual provision are interpreted. For example, US Code § 924(c)(1) says that ... any person who, during and in relation to any crime of violence or drug trafficking crime ... uses or carries a firearm ... shall... be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than 5 years ... If the firearm possessed by a person convicted of a violation of this subsection ... is a machinegun or a destructive device, or is equipped with a firearm silencer or firearm muffler, the person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than 30 years. If someone trades a silenced MAC-10 to a drug dealer for cocaine, does this law mean that he must given a 30-year sentence? Surely petitioner's treatment of his MAC-10 can be described as "use" within the every day meaning of that term. Justice Antonin Scalia dissented: Textualist vs. The U.S. J. Scalia argues that Implicature without intent?
The Stanford Prison Experiment: A Simulation Study of the Psychology of Imprisonment Thirty Years Later, Stanford Prison Experiment Lives On By Meredith Alexander Stanford Report, August 22, 2001 Thirty years ago, a group of young men were rounded up by Palo Alto police and dropped off at a new jail -- in the Stanford Psychology Department. Strip searched, sprayed for lice and locked up with chains around their ankles, the "prisoners" were part of an experiment to test people's reactions to power dynamics in social situations. Other college student volunteers -- the "guards" -- were given authority to dictate 24-hour-a-day rules. They were soon humiliating the "prisoners" in an effort to break their will. Psychology Professor Philip Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment of August 1971 quickly became a classic. "In a few days, the role dominated the person," Zimbardo -- now president-elect of the American Psychological Association -- recalled. Its story, however, endures, achieving a level of recognition shared by few other psychological experiments.
The Stanford Prison Experiment: Still powerful after all these years (1/97) CONTACT: Stanford University News Service (415) 723-2558 The Stanford Prison Experiment: Still powerful after all these years I was sick to my stomach. When it's happening to you, it doesn't feel heroic; it feels real scary. It feels like you are a deviant. Professor Christina Maslach, UC-Berkeley, to psychologists gathered in Toronto, Aug. 12, 1996 The view through the doorway was too familiar like something she had seen in the international news sections of Life or Newsweek. Several young men dressed in khaki uniforms and wearing reflector sunglasses that hid their eyes were herding a larger group of men down a hallway. Christina Maslach's stomach reacted first. On that fateful Thursday night a quarter-century ago, Maslach would take actions that made her a heroine in some circles as "the one who stopped the Stanford Prison Experiment." Yet she had difficulty resisting the group pressure to be enthusiastic about what was going on in the name of science. Jekyll and Hyde experience
Blue Eyes Brown Eyes On the morning of april 5, 1968, a Friday, Steven Armstrong stepped into Jane Elliott's third-grade classroom in Riceville, Iowa. "Hey, Mrs. Elliott," Steven yelled as he slung his books on his desk. "They shot that King yesterday. A chorus of "Yeahs" went up, and so began one of the most astonishing exercises ever conducted in an American classroom. That spring morning 37 years ago, the blue-eyed children were set apart from the children with brown or green eyes. She knew that the children weren't going to buy her pitch unless she came up with a reason, and the more scientific to these Space Age children of the 1960s, the better. "Do blue-eyed people remember what they've been taught?" "No!" Elliott rattled off the rules for the day, saying blue-eyed kids had to use paper cups if they drank from the water fountain. "Because we might catch something," a brown-eyed boy said. Then, the inevitable: "Hey, Mrs. At lunchtime, Elliott hurried to the teachers' lounge. mother. Absolutely not.
10 Famous Psychological Experiments That Could Never Happen Today Nowadays, the American Psychological Association has a Code of Conduct in place when it comes to ethics in psychological experiments. Experimenters must adhere to various rules pertaining to everything from confidentiality to consent to overall beneficence. Review boards are in place to enforce these ethics. 1. At Johns Hopkins University in 1920, John B. Watson tested classical conditioning on a 9-month-old baby he called Albert B. Solomon Asch tested conformity at Swarthmore College in 1951 by putting a participant in a group of people whose task was to match line lengths. Thirty-seven of the 50 participants agreed with the incorrect group despite physical evidence to the contrary. Some psychological experiments that were designed to test the bystander effect are considered unethical by today’s standards. The pair conducted a study at Columbia University in which they would give a participant a survey and leave him alone in a room to fill out the paper.
The Gifted Group At Mid Life Volume V Genetic StudieS Of Genius : Lewis M.erman Skip to main content We will keep fighting for all libraries - stand with us! Lewis Terman (1877–1956) - Testing, Stanford, Gifted, and Intelligence Lewis M. Terman was a psychologist who developed some of the earliest and most successful measures of individual differences. He was raised on an Indiana farm and, after an early career as a schoolteacher and high school principal, received his doctorate in psychology from Clark University in 1905. After four years of teaching pedagogy at the Los Angeles State Normal School, he joined the education faculty at Stanford University in 1910. In 1922 he became head of Stanford's Psychology Department, a position he held until his retirement in 1942. At Stanford, Terman followed up his doctoral research on mental testing by working on a revision of Alfred Binet's 1905 scale of intelligence. The success of the Stanford-Binet brought Terman professional acclaim. Terman viewed the widespread adoption of tests in the schools as a reflection of how testing could be of use to American society. He extended his interest in gender differences to the study of marital adjustment. BORING, EDWIN G. 1959.
5 Experts Answer: Can Your IQ Change? | Intelligence Tests & IQ Scores Each week, MyHealthNewsDaily asks the experts to answer questions about your health. This week, we asked psychologists: Can your IQ ever change? Jack Naglieri, research professor at University of Virginia: The answer to this question, like many others, depends on a number of factors. I've been able to teach children to be better in mathematics without teaching them mathematics. Understanding changes in IQ also requires carefully considering how intelligence is being measured. The best way to measure intelligence is to measure those abilities that underlie the acquisition of knowledge, separately from the knowledge we have. Richard Nisbett, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan: Yes, your IQ can change over time. The most volatility in IQ scores is in childhood, mostly in adolescence. Also, the average IQ of people is changing over time. Now, validity of IQ as a measurement of all that we consider "intelligence" is another question. Absolutely. Alan S. It depends.
