No full textThis 1967 photograph taken by photographer Juanita Wilson shows Michael David Loftus and Lydon Burgin of South Toe River School performing in the Mountain Youth Jamboree. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University

An everyday carnival : designing for freedom of expression within a multifunctional landscape at loftus versfeld stadium
No full textMini Dissertation (ML(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2015.This dissertation is an effort towards a better understanding of public open space within Pretoria [Tshwane]. The author identified a lack of freedom of expression within the Pretoria parks and that people actually have a need to be able to express themselves.
The study investigates Carnivalesque as a means of human expression, as well as Loftus Versfeld stadium which occasionally, during sporting events, allows for freedom of expression. Loftus Versfeld provides this incredible experience which unfortunately occurs on only a few weekends within a year. The site becomes derelict and the stadium becomes a white elephant and monofunctional space.
A focus is also on the future predicted growth of the area surrounding the Loftus Versfeld stadium and investigates resilient landscapes for the future.
The design objective is to create a multifunctional resilient landscape where people are able to express themselves freely. The proposal also finds a balance between a programmed and unprogrammed landscape as well as a robust and ecological landscape.tm2016ArchitectureML(Prof)Unrestricte
False claims about false memory research
No full textPezdek and Lam [Pezdek, K. & Lam, S. (2007). What research paradigms have cognitive psychologists used to study “False memory,” and what are the implications of these choices? Consciousness and Cognition] claim that the majority of research into false memories has been misguided. Specifically, they charge that false memory scientists have been (1) misusing the term “false memory,” (2) relying on the wrong methodologies to study false memories, and (3) misapplying false memory research to real world situations. We review each of these claims and highlight the problems with them. We conclude that several types of false memory research have advanced our knowledge of autobiographical and recovered memories, and that future research will continue to make significant contributions to how we understand memory and memory errors
Town of Highland Park, Texas: An Assessment of Water Use and Conservation Potential
No full textThe Town of Highland Park, Texas would like to take steps towards improving their water use conservation as a demonstration of community leadership. To do this, they have partnered with the Texas State University team (TSU) - Dr. Tim Loftus and the author as graduate research assistant - in a nine-month project to delve into the town's potential for reducing water use. The purpose of this research is three-fold:
1. Gather information about Best Management Practices (BMPs) applied to city- and town-owned properties for the purpose of conserving water from the following cities in Texas: Alamo Heights, Irving, Southlake, The Woodlands, West University Place, Westlake, and Westover Hills. Similar information was also gathered from Cary, North Carolina, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Scottsdale, Arizona;
2. Develop a water use conservation program scenario that promises to reduce water use in Highland Park and will have the additional potential to improve the town's score as determined by the Texas Living Waters Project, Texas Water Conservation Scorecard (2016). The conservation program scenario will be developed with application of a water conservation planning tool;
3. Analyze WaterSmart-derived monthly water-use data to create new information that enables the Town of Highland Park to better understand recent water use and target water-use conservation.Geography and Environmental Studie
Test a Witness’s Memory of a Suspect Only Once
No full textEyewitness misidentifications are almost always made with high confidence in the courtroom. The courtroom is where eyewitnesses make their last identification of defendants suspected of (and charged with) committing a crime. But what did those same eyewitnesses do on the first identification test conducted early in a police investigation? Despite testifying with high confidence in court, many eyewitnesses also testified that they had initially identified the suspect with low confidence or failed to identify the suspect at all. Presenting a lineup leaves the eyewitness with a memory trace of the faces in the lineup, including that of the suspect. As a result, the memory signal generated by the face of that suspect will be stronger on a later test involving the same witness, even if the suspect is innocent. In that sense, testing memory contaminates memory. These considerations underscore the importance of a newly proposed
recommendation for conducting eyewitness identifications: Avoid repeated identification procedures with the same witness and suspect. This recommendation applies not only to additional tests conducted by police investigators but also to the final test conducted in the courtroom, in front of the judge and jury.This Unpublished paper is done by John T. Wixted, Gary L. Wells, Elizabeth F. Loftus, & Brandon L. Garrett, Test a Witness’s Memory of a Suspect Only Once. 2021. Posted with permission
Reviving the classical dead: Roman epitaphs to demonstrate social continuity and change concerning married women
No full textPresented to the 10th Annual Symposium on Graduate Research and Scholarly Projects (GRASP) held at the Heskett Center, Wichita State University, April 25, 2014.Research completed at Department of History, College of Liberal Arts and SciencesThis research aims to investigate the avenues of continuity and change concerning attitudes toward and virtues attributed to Roman women, both pagan and Christian, from the first to the fifth century C.E. Romans felt it necessary to commemorate their dead by way of monuments and inscriptions. Analysis of the plethora of funerary epitaphs from this period reveals how the various streams of continuity and change affected female social status, religious placement, and allows us to gain a deeper understanding of a social group that was often left voiceless.Graduate School, Academic Affairs, University Librarie
