	APS Observer - The 10 Commandments of Helping Students Distinguish Science from Pseudoscience in Psychology
		One danger of teaching students to distinguish science from pseudoscience is that we can inadvertently produce students who are reflexively dismissive of any claim that appears implausible.
		When encouraging students to think critically, we must distinguish between two forms of skepticism: (1) an approach that subjects all knowledge claims to scrutiny with the goal of sorting out true from false claims, namely methodological (scientific) skepticism, and (2) an approach that denies the possibility of knowledge, namely philosophical skepticism.
		By conflating pseudoscientific beliefs with religious beliefs that are strictly metaphysical, instructors risk (a) needlessly alienating a sizeable proportion of their students, many of whom may be profoundly religious; and (b) (paradoxically) undermining students' critical thinking skills, which require a clear understanding of the difference between testable and untestable claims.

	Time perception: does it distinguish ADHD and RD children in a clinical sample? Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology - ...
		Clinicians must distinguish those children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) from those with other clinical conditions that also manifest as inattention.
		In particular, it is important to distinguish children with Reading Disorders (RD) from those with ADHD, given that failure to read can appear as inattention and distraction at school.
		It is well-established that ADHD often co-occurs with RD (August and Garfinkel, 1990), and comorbidity of RD and ADHD is estimated at approximately 23% of children with ADHD (Semrud-Clikeman et al., 1992).

	Birds Can Distinguish Languages Say Researchers
		"Humans are able to distinguish between languages, even ones they don't know, from the intonation and pronunciation, and it seems that paddy birds have the same ability," said Keio University experimental psychology professor Shigeru Watanabe, who led the research.
		Watanabe said paddy birds like the Java Sparrow and parakeets, which are skilled vocally, learn sounds unique to their species after becoming adults, suggesting that they have a high ability to distinguish between sounds.
		The researchers did not use Japanese because it was the language the birds normally listened to, the newspaper said.

	C++ Memory and Resource Management > Failure to Distinguish Scalar and Array Allocation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Inasmuch as memory is just one of many resources a program manages, we'll also look at how to bind other resources to memory so we can use C++'s sophisticated memory management facilities to manage other resources as well.
		Note that the compiler can't warn of an incorrect scalar deletion of an array, since it can't distinguish between a pointer to an array and a pointer to a single element.
		Typically, array new will insert information adjacent to the memory allocated for an array that indicates not only the size of the block of storage but also the number of elements in the allocated array.
