Parrot worked to death?

Is this what you did to the poor creature, Ms Irene Pepperberg?
Have him worked to death by your research?
8-12 hours a day, every day, of gruelling mental exercise, just to
find out where the limits of avian intelligence exist! No wonder
Alex died so young.

Both you and Brandeis University should be ashamed of yourselves!


Bird Brain Dies After Years of Research

WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) - Alex, a parrot that could count to six, identify
colors and even express frustration with repetitive scientific trials, has
died after 30 years of helping researchers better understand the avian
brain.

The cause of Alex's death was unknown. The African grey parrot's
average life span is 50 years, Brandeis University scientist Irene
Pepperberg said. Alex was discovered dead in his cage Friday, she said, but
she waited to release the news until this week so grieving researchers could
get over the shock and talk about it.

"It's devastating to lose an individual you've worked with pretty much
every day for 30 years," Pepperberg told The Boston Globe. "Someone was
working with him eight to 12 hours every day of his life."

Could be, M.J. The scientific evidence well documents that liklihood

Not likely, M.J. They're SCIENTISTS!:

IN RECOGNIZING ONE'S OWN INCOMPETENCE LEAD
TO INFLATED SELF-ASSESSMENTS

Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants
scoring in the bottom quartile... grossly overestimated
their best performance and ability. Although their test
scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated
themselves to be in the 62nd.

Ahhh, SCHEDULING and CLICKER TRAINING!

THAT MAKES DOGS GO INSANE!

Clicker training increases anXXXIHOWESNESS to dangerHOWES
levels where seizures, aggression and obsessive compulsive behaviors

Death Producing Ulcers:
"Emotional Influences On Health & Behavior"

Dr. George Von Hilsheimer

Illness is directly related to depression and lack of
adjustment, particularly to a new environment (Parens,
McConville & Kaplan, 1966).

A WIDE RANGE of PSYCHOSOMATIC or CORTICOVISCERAL
DIS-EASES was surveyed by Wittkower (1965) to demonstrate
the enormous importance of emotional factors in general health.

Interview findings of emotional material (recently experienced
hopelessness) pryor to biological examinations correctly identified
11 out of 19 with cervical cancer, and 25 of 32 who were cancer
free even though psychological tests failed to discriminate these
groups (Schmale & Iker, 1966)

150 lung cancer patients showed significantly constricted
expression of emotions. The had fewer childhood behavior
problems, and lower neuroticism score than their cancer
free controls. Heavy cigarette smokers who DO NOT
INHALE are more apt to have LUNG CANCER. They, too,
show LOWER neuroticism scores.

Among heavy cigarette smokers poor emotional
expression is as highly related to cancer as urban
residence and is more important than a chronic cough
or an air polluted environment (Kissen, 1966).

A ten year observation of all the women who developed
cancer in an isolated pupulation of 2,550 showed that
they tended to be unstable or sub stable personalities
characterized by melancholy and extraversion, especially
marked with those of an undecided body build (Hagll,
1966). Personality dynamics effect both the development
of cancer and it's SITE. Cancer may result from what
appears to be a failure to grow--somatically, behaviorally
and psychologically (Grinker, 1966).

In 109 cases leukemia and lymphoma were associated
with a number of losses or separations and with feelings
of sadness, anxiety, anger or hopelessness.The PRIMARY
FACTOR seems to be the shame and hopelessness of
running out of psychological resources (Green, 1966).
Cervical cancer patients are less emotionally responsive,
more isolative, and less frequently diagnosed as having
clinical neuroses than cancer free patients.

There is NO CLEAR DIFFERENCE in their FEELINGS
and ATTITUDES toward coitus (Rotkin, Qunk, &
Couchman, 1965).

Schmidt (1966) surveyed nearly 100 studies of behaviorally
induced DIS-EASE in animals CONFIRMING and EXTENDING
the DATA on PEOPLE. Behaviorally induced DIS-EASES tend
to fall into two groups;

(1) Hysteriform problems, which INCLUDE HYSTERICAL
SEIZURES and FORMS of AGGRESSION as well as
collective panic and epilepsies;

(2) organic modifications, including functional
difficulties and lesions affecting gastro intestinal,
cardio vascular, respiratory, sexual, endocrine, skin,
urinary, and neuro muscular systems.

It is INTERESTING, and SLIGHTLY HORRIFYING,
to note that the ONLY SCIENTIFIC RELEVANCE
of the standard six hour school day that I have
been able to detect in research is that Sawrey
and Weisz quite by accident found that six hours
on and six hour off of "EXECUTIVE BEHAVIOR"
in monkeys was the ONLY TIME STRUCTURE
that INDUCED DEATH PRODUCING ULCERS.
