WASHOE
Documents Project Washoe, in which

with a chimpanzee by means of sign
language. Topics include: the range of
Washoe's vocabulary, including signs for
objects, proper names, modifiers, actions,
and negatives; the development of
sentence-like sequences of signs; and the
contexts in which she signed, including
requests, answers to questions,
spontaneous comments and questions,
and blind-testing conditions. Research
methodology emphasizes integration of
two-way communication into all aspects of
chimpanzee daily life and rigorous testing
procedures.

IEP
Individualized education plans (IEP's) are
designed for children with disabilities.
However, in most school systems sex
education is infrequently addressed. It is
often taboo. Most of the time it is not
specifically mentioned as an instructional
or related service.
In this program viewers will learn the
reasons why sex in an IEP is so important
for the health and safety of not only the
special education student, but those in his
or her educational community as well.
The program will also explore the legal
ramifications of not dealing with this
sensitive issue. Designed for educators
and parents, "Sex in the IEP" promotes
concepts and ideas that will help the
educational team, parents and
administration work together to bring
about positive outcomes for their students.

PSYCHOLOGY
ACE ACE STUDY STUDY PART PART PART 1, 1, TH THE TH
This DVD, intended for general audiences
and policymakers, discusses the origins
and findings of the largest-scale study to
date of the incidence and effects of
childhood trauma, known as the Adverse
Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study.
According to data collected from the over
17,000 Kaiser patients in this ongoing
retrospective and prospective study,
adverse childhood experiences, though
well concealed, are unexpectedly common,
have a profound negative effect on adult
health and well-being a half century later,
and are a prime determinant of adult
health status in the United States.

ACE ACE STUDY STUDY STUDY PART PART PART 2, 2, TH THE TH
This DVD describes the ACE Study's
implications for the healthcare professions:
that all patients should be routinely
screened for adverse childhood
experiences; that a childhood trauma
history may be very relevant to both
serious illness and vague somatic
complaints; and that appropriate
approaches to treatment must include
dealing with childhood trauma.

ANAL ANALYSIS ANAL YSIS OF THE THE FORMS
OF OF ANIMAL ANIMAL LEARNING, LEARNING, AN
AN
Conditioned response learning forms are
represented in three examples: 1) leg
flexion initiated with electric shock and
conditioned to sound;2) the running
response in an exercise cage initiated by
shock and conditioned to sound; 3)
general activity in a suspended cage
initiated by shock and conditioned to
sound, with the medthod of kymographoc
recording indicated.
The second learning form, problem solving,
is exhibited in two examples: 1) a cat
learns to pull a string in order to drag a
dish into position for eating. Several
unattached strings are also presented to
cat. In second scenaroi, cat never learns
to distinguish between attached and
unattached string, an example of
"positional learning". 2) the cat learns to
push a a ball into a hopper in order to
open a door exposing food.
The third learning form, discriminative
learning, is shown in film 3, as three
examples: 1) the cat learns to select the
door on which as triangle has been
painted and 2) the cat learns to select the
brighter of two doors before pressing a
pedal which releases the obstruction to
the food reward. 3) the cat learns to
choose a door behind which a sounding
device has been placed.
The fourth learning example , compound
learning, is illustrated in two sessions 1)
the cat learns to press two pedals
alternately in order to open the food
troughs. 2) The cat learns to pull a string
releasing a ball which is pushed into a
hopper exposing food.

Through the observation of twelve families
on five continents, this series looks at
childhood from a number of perspectives
-- personal, scientific, historical, and
cultural - and examines the various
influences that shape us as individuals
and as members of the families and
societies in which we are raised. The first
program explores the mutual influence
and importance of both "nature" and
"nurture," the ongoing interaction of time,
place, and biology. Three births -- in
