Hint hint
I stopped in Marietta OH to get Bob Wark's take on what I'm dragging along in the trailer. Bob knows a wee bit about it and the story behind it and If it ever stops raining I'll open the trailer and show you what I'm up to.

Observational Learning
[Learning by watching] is called observational learning. When it comes to evolutionary fears, as well as to many other areas of learning, animals and people learn by watching what other animals or people do, not by doing something themselves and learning from the consequences. I have the impression this lesson hasn't quite been absorbed by most educators. You read that hands-on learning is best, but that may not always be so. Obviously evolution has selected for strong observational learning in animals and in humans.
