Some methodologists have recently suggested that scientific psychology's over-reliance on null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) impedes the progress of the discipline. In response, a number of defenders have maintained that NHST continues to play a vital role in psychological research. Both sides of the argument to date have been presented abstractly. The authors take a different approach to this issue by illustrating the use of NHST along with 2 possible alternatives (meta-analysis as a primary data analysis strategy and Bayesian approaches) in a series of 3 studies. Comparing and contrasting the approaches on actual data brings out the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. The exercise demonstrates that the approaches are not mutually exclusive but instead can be used to complement one another.

The proof of the pudding: an illustration of the relative strengths of null hypothesis, meta-analysis, and Bayesian analysis.

Learning by doing has been a principle for thousands of years; it has had many proponents, including Plato, Thomas Hobbes, English and Spanish epigrammatists, Karl Marx and Mao Zedong, cultural anthropologists, Montessori, John B. Watson, and B. F. Skinner; and it has had many forms, including learning by doing, discovery versus instruction, practical experience versus book-learning, the practice-theory-practice dialectic, and proof upon practice. The paper includes discussion of several of the forms, with examples, to establish what the principle means; modifications of the principle such as instructed learning-by-doing and a role of reasoning; and possible explanations of its effectiveness.

Based on a corpus of private email from Jamaican university students, this study explores the discourse functions of Jamaican Creole in computer-mediated communication. From this participant-centered perspective, it contributes to the longstanding theoretical debates in creole studies about the creole continuum. The book will likewise be useful to students of computer-mediated communication, the use and development of non-standardized languages, language ecology, and codeswitching. The central methodological issue in this study is codeswitching in written language, a neglected area of study at the moment since most literature in codeswitching research is based on spoken data. The three analytical chapters present the data in a critical discussion of established and more recent theoretical approaches to codeswitching. Fields that will benefit from this book include interactional sociolinguistics, creole studies, English as a world language, computer-mediated discourse analysis, and linguistic anthropology.

Modern portrayals of human action are overwhelmingly in a calculative and consequentialist tradition. Consequentialist reasoning is the basis for most of modern social and behavioral science and preeminently for economics. Action is seen as choice, and choice is seen as driven by anticipations, incentives, and desires. These ideas trace their roots at least to the Greeks, owe substantial parts of their modern manifestation to the formulations of Jeremy Bentham, and derive much of their contemporary power from the geniuses of L. J. Savage and John von Neumann.

Don Quijote de la Mancha is a novel written by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. First published under the title El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha (The Ingenious Honorable Don Quijote de la Mancha) at the beginning of 1605, it is one of the most outstanding works of Spanish and world literature, and one of the most widely translated. In 1615, the second part appeared, entitled El ingenioso caballero don Quijote de la Mancha (The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quijote de la Manch). Don Quijote was the first work to genuinely demystify the knightly code of chivalry through its burlesque treatment. It represents the first literary work that can be classified as a modern novel and also the first polyphonic novel and, as such, had an enormous influence on all later European literature.
