From NPR…
In his book How We Decide, and in a recent Wall Street Journal article, Jonah writes about an experiment by Stanford University professor Baba Shiv, who collected several dozen undergraduates and divided them into two groups.
In the WSJ article, Jonah writes:
“One group was given a two-digit number to remember, while the second group was given a seven-digit number. Then they were told to walk down the hall, where they were presented with two different snack options: a slice of chocolate cake or a bowl of fruit salad.”

Hello,
While the I/O Portal is under construction, I welcome your feedback regarding what types of tools and resources you would like to see included.
The idea is that this portal would be your departments “go to” page for digital scholarly resources and, while I will be the manager of the site, the content will be driven by its users.
To give you some ideas regarding what we can include, here is a link to portals which have already been created: Research Portals
In the near future, I hope to have several mechanisms in place through which you could provide feedback and suggestions. In the meantime, please email those ideas to me abaruzzi@gmu.edu.
Best,
Andrea Baruzzi
Psychology Liaison Librarian
