I'm a huge fan

Yes, it's Friday night and I'm blogging....

So, for all of you 24 year olds in the class (which is proportionately a smaller group than most of my classes, something I'm definitely finding interesting), this is what awaits you. Someday soon, probably, you will be at home on a Friday night. Moreover, it will suddenly strike you that this is probably the only time you will have all week to update your blog because your spouse is playing with the baby, the laundry is actually done, and the pile of dishes in the kitchen sink isn't too high. Ahhh, parenthood. Seriously, I have been quite delayed in updating the blog, in part because I've been having fun looking at other people's blogs in the snatches of free time I have.
I'm looking forward to posting some comments on other peoples blogs and to exploring jazzing mine up a little bit.

So excited! My First Blog Ever!

Very excited to be posting on this, my first blog. I'm enjoying this UDL course so much so far. Last night's lecture raised a couple of questions I was unable to ask during class. Anyone is welcome to comment on them, but I'd also really appreciate responses from either of our two profs.

1. Given that face recognition operates the way it does cognitively and that an individual "knows" accurately whether or not he/she has ever seen a particular face before, how do we explain the notorious inaccuracy of eyewitness accounts and identifications in criminal proceedings?

2. In Capgras Syndrome, is the affect always positive? That is, are there are any known cases where an individual became convinced that someone had been taken over by aliens etc. not because they didn't feel their usual strong positive love for that individual, but because someone they had strong negative feelings for suddenly didn't inspire that reaction?
