	Psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychology (ancient Greek: psyche = "soul" or "mind", logos/-ology = "study of") is an academic and applied field involving the study of the mind, brain, and behavior, both human and nonhuman.
		Psychology differs from sociology, anthropology, economics, and political science in part because it involves studying the mental processes and behavior of individuals (alone or in groups) rather than the behavior of the groups or aggregates themselves.
		Psychology as a medical discipline can be seen in Thomas Willis' reference to psychology (the "Doctrine of the Soul") in terms of brain function, as part of his 1672 anatomical treatise "De Anima Brutorum" ("Two Discourses on the Souls of Brutes").

	Brunswik Essay #8
		The interest in traffic psychology and learning also resulted in Mats being appointed as chairman of a scientific advisory group to the State Commission in charge of the change from left to right hand driving in Sweden, which took place in 1967.
		The advisory group was highly successful, and was very important in establishing traffic psychology as a field of applied research in Sweden.
		By then, Mats Björkman had already left imprints in Swedish psychology that are pervasive to this day: For example, a down-to-earth scientific attitude with a preference for simple yet profound formulations and a strong position of judgment and decision making in cognitive research, still often with a distinctly Brunswikian flavor.

	Lofty Lingo Boils Down To Dissection of Traffic / Computer model may unravel mysteries of congestion
		Some classical "macro" views of traffic depict it as a kind of plumbing system, in which cars all meld into a more-or-less free-flowing liquid, and highways are likened to pipes, where the flow can be interrupted by accidents and other blockages much the same as the drain on a kitchen sink.
		In free-flowing traffic, when vehicles are all traveling at roughly the same speed, traffic becomes extremely orderly: Distances between cars shrink to a comfortable, stable margin of safety, and drivers tend to discount minor changes in speed of the vehicle they are following.
		In one simple example, traffic tie-ups can be systematically minimized just by giving drivers advance warning of a minor problem ahead, which helps reduce the tendency to overreact at the first sign of trouble.
