Yerkes-Dodson Law

Staff researcher Anne R. expanded the geographic reach of the studies undertaken by the Fremont Street Center for Healthy Aging this week with a trip to study the impact of beautiful scenery and a delightful climate on issues related to aging. She can report a remarkable age retarding effect - the entire campus of Southern Oregon University seems to be filled with people who have either mastered the art of healthy aging, or have yet to encounter the phenomenon of biological decay.

Colleague Austin R. shared research results of his cross disciplinary approach - which combines statistics, American history, psychology and Japanese.  

Notes from a psychology lecture we attended together: You cannot see motivation, you can only imply it based on behavior.
