It is also available to users for separate purchase as a free-standing reference tool. The CD-ROM was first published in 2000, and is an annually updated and expanded electronic collection of information resources on international psychology. From 2005 it has a new editorship. The incoming editors of the Global Resource aim to sharpen the focus and extend the range of the CD-ROM in the years to come. They intend to preserve timeless contributions, update existing sections as new information becomes available, expand coverage of areas that are of interest and value to users, and add new material to broaden the purview of this product. New additions for 2005 include: fully browsable text of the Proceedings of the XXVI International Congress of Psychology (ICP) held in Montreal, 1996 (originally published in print in 1998) and the Directory of International Grants and Fellowships in the Behavioral, Social, and Health Sciences which is compiled by the Office of International Affairs of the American Psychological Association and focuses exclusively on grant and fellowship opportunities in these areas. There are also significant additions to the Ethics (inclusion of papers from an Ethics Symposium held at the Beijing ICP, 2004), Origins (inclusion of Oceania), and Public Policy (inclusion of speech given at World Science Forum) Sections for 2005. Substantial and major updates have been undertaken and are presented in: the Directory of Major Institutions for Psychological Research and Training; Psychology Throughout the World: A Descriptive Tour and National Contacts; Bibliography of Psychology Around the World; Division 52 of the APA's International Psychology Information Clearinghouse; Directory of International Psychological Associations and Related Organizations; Selected Internet Resources; HealthNet Directory; and material related to the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS), including its history, officers, statutes, and publications. Using proprietary integrated software, the major resource files and databases are searchable using keywords. Every section is also fully browsable and easy to navigate. This annually updated electronic resource guide makes information about psychological science and its worldwide context more readily available and will be especially helpful to those seeking international collaborations or wishing to trace the development of psychology in a country or region. Further sections: Abstracts of papers presented at the quadrennial International Congresses of Psychology in Brussels 1992, Montreal 1996, and Stockholm 2000, including integrated subject and author indexes for all 3 Congresses.

In this study, this phenomenon is demonstrated in normal human adults by using a difficult perceptual discrimination task in a within-subjects design.

Each has proved to produce far more complex phenomena than one might have naively expected. The questions that shall interest us here in a summary fashion are: “What is learned?” and “How?” These are the perennial questions in the psychology of learning.
