Agnes, from the wonderfully weird mind of Tony Cochran.
At Cognitive Group this week, Angie Ricciardi shared her senior comp research. We had the opportunity to view her stimuli and discuss her research design. When testing is completed, Angie will get back to the group with her results. Also at the meeting, Professor Wiseman presented us with the stimuli for Maria Kennihan's comp project so that the group could provide feedback. We had quite a great brainstorming session.
Speaking of which, I just found the Creative Tools Website. The goal of the site is to inspire people to use "randomness to create order." Of particular interest is the suite of brainstorming tools they provide including a random word generator that generates random words of varying difficulty. I have to say that while the "very uncommon" category was difficult, the "obscure" category was ridiculous! I am hooked on this website and am convinced it could be used in a future senior comp project. Check it out!
