Research Byte: What paint can tell us: A fractal analysis of neurological changes in seven artists. via BrowZine
This is WAY cool. A promising method that, IMHO, might be applied to routine required repeated drawings in the elderly during regular physical exams. Also, would it be possible to develop fractal-based diagnostic norms from geometric drawings from standardize psychological drawing tests used in clinical practice? That is, fractal analyze all norm based drawings from a test, develop what is " normative " by age, and then flag drawings of clients that are divergent from typical? Need to file this for interesting possible new test development methods.What paint can tell us: A fractal analysis of neurological changes in seve...

Remembering the " individual " in individual differences research: A quote to note
I just ran across this statement in a recent article (see below). It served as a reminder of something I have always preached, but from-time-to-time, tend to forget as I analyze cognitive ability test data, post research articles, or suggest hypotheses regarding test score differences---be it here at this blog, in a journal article, book, book chapter, or professional presentation. The point being that we must remain vigilant in remembering the " individual " in individual differences research.The privileged unit of analysis in psychology is the individual (Nesselroade, Gerstorf, Hardy,& Ram, 2007).
