ScienceDaily (Feb. 14, 2010) — Students can learn some science concepts just as well from computers simulations as they do from direct observation, new research suggests. A study found that people who used computer simulations to learn about moon phases understood the concepts just as well -- and in some cases better -- than did those who learned from collecting data from viewing the moon. |

ScienceDaily (May 26, 2009) — It is well known that people use head motion during conversation to convey a range of meanings and emotions, and that women use more active head motion when conversing with each other than men use when they talk with each other.

But the men and women might be adapting because of their gender-based expectations or because of the movements they perceive from each other. |

ScienceDaily (May 26, 2009) — Computers have been used for years to facilitate learning at a distance. A new European research programme shows that computers can also enhance collaborative, face-to-face learning and problem solving. In recent years, computer-assisted face-to-face collaboration has become an important part of the workplace, under the rubric of computer supported collaborative work. |

This Dutch psychologist had been so busy trying to impress her that his cognitive abilities were temporary exhausted.

With women this effect did not appear. |
