Because the research literature is one of the primary sources of new research questions, this process can be thought of as a cycle.
This sentence really put things into perspective for me when thinking about how the research process is a cycle. Research is essentially a never-ending cycle because someone with new ideas and way of thinking will always find something researchable that the previous researcher did not think about when conducting a particular study.
but this was when talkativeness was measured in terms of the number of words spoken per day among university students in the United States and Mexico.
I am curious to know how exactly this study was conducted? I'd imagine it would be difficult to carry out this study. Was there a specific device used that automatically counted each word or was the person recorded throughout the day and someone would then transcribe?
laptop note takers’ tendency to transcribe lectures verbatim rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words is detrimental to learning
This was really interesting learn. I've actually always preferred handwriting to taking notes on laptops. It is so true that we tend to type verbatim as opposed to processing and paraphrasing when taking notes by hand. I assume people type verbatim because typing is faster, but when we are typing that fast we don't actually think about what we are typing: it's just words.
For example, most people believe that anger can be relieved by “letting it out”—perhaps by punching something or screaming loudly. Scientific research, however, has shown that this approach tends to leave people feeling more angry, not less (Bushman, 2002)[1].
This is really interesting. So basically, "letting it out" essentially has sort of a placebo effect on some of us who actually do think we feel better.
