Possible incompatibility with the Excel Charting Templates and Excel 2007
A couple of users are finding that there are operations that are not performing correctly. It's speculated that the upgraded Excel no longer has full support for the programming language used in the past.
So far the templates appear to perform correctly with Excel 2003.

New Excel Template posted.

An INCOMPATIBILITY has been discovered with Stuart Harder Charting Templates and the OpenOffice Calc spreadsheet program. The probability is that the templates will NOT operate or display correctly when used with that application, because of incompatibilities in the programming language required for macros in the templates.

Stu Harder has been working hard to develop a family of charting templates, and to give those their own place of honor, they've been moved to

Thanks Stu for so much hard work and generosity in sharing these templates!!
Apologies in advance if you hit a dead link to one of the Excel templates on this site. I am working to update the links.
Please emailme if you find a dead link. Please let me know the page so that I can fix it ASAP. Thanks.

If you look at the top left hand corner of each page, there should now be a little link To view/save page as pdf.
This should convert the webpage to a printable pdf to make it easier to printout for a hardcopy.
Contact me if you have a chance, to let me know how it works for you and how the wiki is working in general.
Thanks! I think I'm taking a few days off from wiki-world! Have a good week.

Cool Blog on principles of behavior
(with a shout-out to Dr. Og Lindsley)!
Dead Man Test :Principles and Applications in the Science of Behavior
Patrick S. Williams, PhD
"The dead man test was devised by Ogden Lindsley in 1965 as a rule of thumb for deciding if something is a behavior. The need for such a test stems from the importance of focusing on what an organism actually does when attempting to understand or modify its behavior. My students and I probably remind each other of the dead man test more than any other concept we study. Malott and Suarez (2003, p. 9) characterize the dead man test as follows:
If a dead man can do it, it ain't behavior, and if a dead man can't do it, then it is behavior."
