The article says that the IQ of the test subjects was tested periodically during the day. I wonder how they did that.
I am thinking, your average IQ battery is not exactly the kind of thing you can test 10 times a day, like your blood sugar. It takes a while, you know?
Now, speed on particular cognitive tests I could buy, since being distracted (e.g. by email) could slow you down on thinking tasks, but speediness of response in any given context is not equal to IQ. Also, it's not groundbreaking to say that being pecked at by several communications methods at once makes one distracted. Anybody who has tripped while talking on a cell phone could tell you that.
re: Grey's Anatomy
my thoughts were exactly what Trudy said regarding the Burke/Yang kiss. Personally, I think the resident (forgot her name) will not be happy to find out about Dr. Burke kissing anyone but her, maybe
.
The resident is Dr. Bailey -- that was my thought too. If she felt like she had an opportunity for leverage with the
discovery of Shepard/Grey, she is just going to be ANGRY when/if she discovers the Burke/Yang. But I'll be she'll use it as leverage too.
Grey's Anatomy
My only thought on
Burke/Yang
was that it was
extremely hot.
Sandra Oh
is brilliant at faces. She doesn't overplay it, but she is so expressive.
Random question. If you were going to spend 3 weeks looking at magical realism, what books would you teach together. Pick 3. And, ftr, it can't be all Garcia Marquez.
Something by Salman Rushdie?
Like Water for Chocolate?
Heh. ChiKat, I almost suggested that one. Except, would that be appropriate for Kat's students? I remember it's pretty racy, but then, maybe I only think that because I read it when I was probably around the age of Kat's students.
Jose Saramago? Haruki Murakami?
