That's it, I'm outa here.

My three weeks is up here at Caballo Lake State Park and I have to move on. I'm only allowed three weeks at a time in a given park.

May is marching on and it's time to head east if I want to get back to Red Rock and off the road before Memorial Day so I might as well head out. Of course I'm headed north a bit first (can you feel my eastbound feet dragging?)to get my periodic fix at the Apple store in Albuquerque before actually turning east.

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.
