Re: [Phys-l] Memory and how it works



Very ancient -- An unknown person came into "my" class and provoked a verbal fight w/ the instructor and left ina huff. We then wrote a description. This was in Psych. 1 (ca 1955)

BTW: The article I claimed to have read in the NYer, was a repeat of a sixty minute (TV) episode [July 12]

This is an ancient topic. It came up in Britain a couple of decades ago,

law schoools - professors arrange unscheduled and unexpected incidents in
the classroom and then take testimony from the students as eyewitnesses.
For a more modern revival of the topic, see
