July 10, 2012. Added the zero-sum heuristic to the List of cognitive biases page.
February 14, 2011. I added a section to the Life Extension page with a method proposed by Richard Dawkins. Was reading The Selfish Gene, and it stood out.
June 26 2010. I made changes to the meme page, Otto Neurath page, and created the Neurathian bootstrap page to reflect some things I've been reading in Keith Stanovich's book The Robot's Rebellion regarding reflectively acquired beliefs and rationality.
I added this paragraph to the Neuroticism article measurement section.
Neuroticism has also been studied from the perspective of Gray's biopsychological theory of personality, using a scale that measures personality along two dimensions: the Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS) and the Behavioural Activation System (BAS). The BIS is thought to be related to sensitivity to punishment as well as avoidance motivation, while the BAS is thought to be related to sensitivity to reward as well as approach motivation. Neuroticism has been found to be positively correlated with the BIS scale, and negatively correlated with the BAS scale. [1] [2]
psychological or emotional neglect
Hi Lovearobot,
I have read some of the research literature on psychological or emotional neglect and I find the Wikipedia articles, particularly "Neglect" and "Child neglect" lacking. Please take a look at the discussion pages for those two articles and see if you can improve the articles. I ask you because I saw you have some background in information processing, confidence, personality and that you are or were a Master's candidate in cognitive psychology, all of which are relevant to this topic.

Hi Lavinia Wilhelmine. I don't know if I should be posting this on your talk page (lol). But I am swamped with my own research, so unfortunately I won't be of much use on the Wiki articles you mentioned as that would be mostly new territory for me. I will keep this on my talk page in case I do find time in the future!
