HI Jeffrey...
Looks like Robin will probably be going to see her mother on the weekend of 24-25 October. I'm
wondering whether I should tag along and drop in on you (I can stay in a hotel, so don't
worry if there's no room at your place).

Second, here's a blurb on what I would like to do. (I've gotten a rise out of somebody at
Columbia business school about this, btw, but haven't followed it up -
meanwhile, I'm seeing one of the deans at the NYU business school in two
weeks).
Translational Cognitive Studies
Research in translational cognitive studies rests on three central premises:
1. Translational research: Theory guides applications to real-world situations. For
example, theories of learning can be used to design new teaching methods. But, crucially, not only does theory lead to applications, but
also the applications raise new research issues, which feed back to enrich theory.
2. Generative principles: Unlike most applied psychology, the goal here is not to
solve specific problems (such as how best to design a control panel).
Rather, the goal is to develop generative principles that can be applied across a domain; just as the rules of grammar can be used to
produce an infinite number of sentences, these generative principles can produce a large range of applications within a domain. The
"Cognitive Communication Principles" (summarized in my books on ways to use graphs and PowerPoint) are examples of this; rules of
learning would be another example.
3. Cross-disciplinary: By its nature, such research draws on theory and findings
from multiple disciplines, ranging from cognitive neuroscience to business and from education to economics and computer science.
Indeed, even philosophy has a role to play, in helping to develop and hone theory.
At its outset, this research program has two foci, learning and visual
communication. Both play key roles in virtually all human endeavors.
Moreover, this research focuses on developing both products
(typically software) and procedures (such as new ways to use existing technology in teaching).
