Jan 4,
2007 The measure
of handedness noted in class today is called the "Edinburgh
Inventory". It rates handedness
from 100 for strong left-handedness to +100 for strong right-handedness. It was first proposed by R. C. Oldfield in
1971. A Google search will produce more
information, if you are interested.
Does "colour blindness" (discussed briefly in the text on page
18), like handedness, exist in a continuum?
Is there a measure of such? I'm
not sure, but perhaps you can investigate this further.

2007 Re the
"cocktail party effect" noted in classed today and discussed in the
text on page 24, see also the entry in Wikipedia on The Cocktail Party
Effect.
