| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Dec 01 05:10AM These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2013-03-18, and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written by members of the Night Owls, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2022-09-09 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)". * Game 7, Round 7 - Literature - Best 100 Novels The works in this round are taken from the list of "100 Best Novels of the 20th Century" (meaning 1900-98) according to a Modern Library poll of readers. We give you the name of the novel and its position on the list; you give the author. 1. #99, "The Cunning Man". 2. #92, "The Sheltering Sky". 3. #85, "V". 4. #76, "At Swim-Two-Birds". 5. #73, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". 6. #72, "The Door into Summer". 7. #71, "The Magus". 8. #52, "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter". 9. #39, "Under the Volcano". 10. #17, "A Town Like Alice". * Game 7, Round 8 - Science - Psychologists This is a round on famous psychologists and psychiatrists who made significant contributions to psychology. In each case, name the person described. Please note that Freud will not be an answer to any question in this round. 1. This German-American psychologist and psychoanalyst lived 1902-94. He proposed an eight-stage theory of life and personality development. His writings include the books "Childhood and Society" and "Identity: Youth and Crisis". He might be best known for coining the phrase "identity crisis". 2. This American psychologist lived 1908-70. His writings included the books "A Theory of Human Motivation" and "Motivation and Personality". He is best known for his theory on the hierarchy of needs. 3. This Swiss psychotherapist and psychiatrist lived 1875-1961. He is considered the founder of analytical psychology. He developed concepts such as extraversion and introversion, archetypes, and the collective unconscious. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test is based on his theories. 4. This American psychologist and behaviorist lived 1904-90. He developed the theory of operant conditioning -- the idea that behavior is determined by its consequences, be they reinforcements or punishments, which make it more or less likely that the behavior will occur again. He believed that the only scientific approach to psychology was one that studied behaviors, not internal mental processes. 5. This Austrian doctor and psychotherapist lived 1870-1937. He is one of the cofounders of the psychoanalytic movement, alongside Freud. He is the founder of the school of individual psychology. His major contribution to psychology was his theory of the inferiority complex. 6. This Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist lived 1905-97. He is the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of existential analysis. He is best known for his book "Man's Search for Meaning", which chronicles his experiences as a concentration-camp inmate. This led him to discover the importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, and thus a reason to continue living. 7. This Swiss-American psychiatrist lived 1926-2004. She was a pioneer in near-death studies. Her major work was the book "On Death and Dying", where she introduced her theory of the five stages of grief. 8. This American psychologist and educator was born in 1942. He """is""" considered one of the founders of the school of positive psychology. He """is""" best known for his work on learned helplessness and learned optimism. 9. This French psychologist lived 1857-1911. He invented the first usable intelligence test, which is still in existence today in modified form. 10. This Swiss developmental psychologist lived 1896-1980. He is best known for concepts such as assimilation and accommodation and the theory of stages of cognitive development for children (which included the sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational stages). -- Mark Brader "You can't [compare] computer memory and recall Toronto with human memory and recall.

When the answer was revealed, one of the best players on my team declared loudly, "And the other one was Aldous Huxley"! If this had been a deliberate -- but unnecessary -- attempt to assist our teammate that question #6 would go to, we would not have been allowed full points on the question; but he was just being uncharacteristically obtuse, and we were. > world-famous biologists.

She won the mayoralty of Mississauga, a large suburb of Toronto, in 1978 when she was 57, *and held it for 12 terms, totaling 36 years*. She's still alive today at age 101, while Downs died in 2020 at a mere 99.
