-
- Rick, why did you pick Chris Wickens? Is it because perhaps I've mentioned
- him on the net (he's the advisor of a graduate student who is my next-door
- neighbor), or is he really well known in human factors? If the latter,
- what do you know of him and his work. I've been bugging my next-door
- neighbor into suggesting that I present Powers's demos to Wicken's research
- group. What might I be in for?

- >How's this margin width, Gary? Better speak with Mr. Kurtzer about
- >his, too.
-
- Much better. It would be nice if EVERYBODY would keep their line lengths
- to 70 characters or less. So Mr. Kurtzer, could you please make your lines
- kurzer (that's "shorter" in German; shows up in English as "kurt").
-
- >I suggest proposing D.T. Campbell as a reviewer. Gary has his address.
-
- I second Don Campbell as a reviewer. He already has many of the CSG
- publications:
-
- Professor Donald T. Campbell
- Lehigh University
- Price Hall
- 681 Taylor Street
- Bethlehem, PA 18015-3169
- Tel. 215/758-4528
- e-mail: dct0@lehigh.edu
-
- Also at Lehigh, Mark Bickhard is familiar with PCT but thinks a lot more is
- needed to account for behavior and cognition:
-
- Professor Mark H. Bickhard
- Lehigh University
- Department of Psychology
- Chandler-Ullman Hall 17
- Bethlehem, PA 18015
- Tel. 215/758-3633
- e-mail: mhb0@lehigh.edu
-
- Bill Brewer finds PCT of some interest, but believes that it cannot account
- for higher cognitive processes. Bill and Greg met Brewer at my house (red
- hair and beard).
-
- Professor William F. Brewer
- University of Illinois
- Department of Psychology-Room 629
- Champaign, IL 61820
- Tel. 217/333-1548
- e-mail: w-brewer@uiuc.edu
-
- Finally, here's a human factor's person to whom I have shown Powers's demos
- and has some interest, but doesn't appear to see what PCT can add to his
- work and interest in training pilots.
-
- Professor Gavan Lintern
- Institute of Aviation
- University of Illinois
- Willard Aiport
- Aiport Road
- Savoy, IL 61874
- Tel. 217/244-8637

- >I would LOVE to contribute to the replies to reviews. Might all
- >interested netters be able to put in their two cents toward a edited
- >"group" reply?
-
- Interesting idea. I wonder what type of impression it would leave to have
- a reply signed by a dozen or two PCTers. They might think that it's a
- movement. But then, that's just what it is.
-
- But I wonder how we will get people who are con PCT to review the books?
- PCT is so widely unknown that I don't see how any of the "con" reviewers
- would want to bother critiquing it. And I regularly turn down book review
- offers because of time demands and book reviews don't provide many academic
- brownie points. Perhaps the "feedback too slow" review needs to be done
- first and then sent to potential reviewers as the "bait."
-
- In any case, I think we need to serious discuss our strategy here in order
- to take full advantage of this opportunity it indeed it becomes reality.
