"Trust is the baseline," says Susan Fiske, a social psychologist at Princeton University. "Trustworthiness is the very first thing that we decide about a person, and once we've decided, we do all kinds of elaborate gymnastics to believe in people."
How the Internet affects the groups where we live and work, including how they grow and change, their social dynamics, and the activities we do there.
In his blog, Chris Chatham, tackles "developmental and computational cognitive neuroscience, comparative psychology, psychometrics, and artificial intelligence."

Children like Nadia lie at the heart of a passionate debate about just what it means to read in the digital age. Some literacy experts say that reading itself should be redefined. Interpreting videos or pictures, they say, may be as important a skill as analyzing a novel or a poem.
The Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona was
formed in 1998 with a seed grant from the Fetzer Institute. The Center
is a unique institution whose aim is to bring together the perspectives of
philosophy, the cognitive sciences, neuroscience, the social sciences,
medicine, and the physical sciences, the arts and humanities, to move
toward an integrated understanding of human consciousness. The
Center is unique in its broad spectrum approach. Other groups tend
focus either on cognitive neuroscience, philosophy or purely
phenomenal experiential approaches, whereas the Center not only
integrates these areas, but "thinks outside the box" of conventional
wisdom which has thus far, at least, failed to make significant
breakthroughs. The Center has also inspired other groups such as the
Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness and those who
organize other conferences.
Olfaction: Researchers at the University of Arizona are using moths to
study olfaction (smell). Phermones produced by the female are key in
the attraction of male moths and crucial for reproductive success. Other
invertebrates, including nematodes and crustaceans, have also been
used in olfaction studies. Olfactory learning is studied in bees and flies.
