Sorry Ringo. :) If the author were really smart, they’d know that good rhthymic timing is a necessity regardless of instrument, particularly the strumming or plucking hand on stringed instruments.

I suspect it's non-linear with such a small number of stimuli because you start to notice the layout of the upcoming items. Perhaps the best approach is to compare times against Part A (no switching, just numbers or letters). We didn't make it to CNS this year, but sounds like it would've been worthwhile. SFN submission deadline is next week...are you going? Hey Chris,

DeBono has stated that any physical change or perhaps even a change in an EM field constitutes a memory, but such a change has to be interpreted by something else to constitute a complete memory.

It took a while for my brain and body to sync up and get rhythmically aligned. It is great training for the brain and body. My teacher is 85 years old and has been tap dancing since she was 5...she is mentally sharp and very fit. I love tap; it is also a great mood enhancer. (My IQ is also 140+)
