The Ostrich Effect

A decrease in a research study participant's baseline Reaction Time (RT) and increase in general cognitive processing speed and capacity that is due to the participant's engagement and practice in video gaming.

The decrease in population level mean RT as compared to 50 years ago may be due in part to the Ostrich Effect!

Oswego Effect

The strange feeling SUNY Oswego students get after they leave college, when you miss the lake, the sunsets, and even the freezing wind you used to complain about.

It’s that mix of missing your friends, the campus, and the small-town life that somehow felt like home. The Oswego Effect hits when you realize you didn’t just go to school there, a part of you still lives there.

Ever since graduation, I’ve been missing Oswego like crazy. I think the Oswego Effect just kicked in.
