What I Learned in School Today

We have been talking about attention and perception in my Research and Evidence: Framing Scientific Research for Public Understanding class. We have spent some time discussing and reading research about what people know, believe, preceive and how they understand (or do not understand) what they have experienced based on their level of attention.
Of course, those of us who are married or who have children, know exactly how that works - except for me! We all know that Bob hangs on every word I say. That is why he looks so happy when we talk on the computer at night - it has nothing to do with being "free at last".
