INTRODUCTORY PSYCHOLOGY: MORE HISTORY THAN OTHER SCIENCES?<br />
</strong>SUZANNE C. BAKER (JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY), DANA S. DUNN (MORAVIAN COLLEGE)<br />
How much history-related content is taught in introductory psychology? What are the pros and cons of including historical background in introductory psychology? We examined a sample of introductory textbooks from Psychology, Biology, and Chemistry in order to compare the prevalence of history-related content. Across disciplines, psychology texts included more history-related content. Potential pros of this approach include situating psychological findings in a cultural context. Cons include an overemphasis on content that is not representative<br />

ARCHIVAL PSYCHOLOGY, HISTORICAL ERRORS, AND THE DIGITAL AGE<br />
</strong>DARRYL HILL (COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK)<br />
Students of the history of psychology often find historical misconceptions and corrections the most compelling narratives in psychology history classes. Yet astute students ask: how did historians get it so wrong? What is the reason for all these historical mistakes? This presentation seeks to remind students and practitioners of archival history about the nature of historical mistakes, how they are to be avoided, and in particular, the challenges historical archivists face in the digital age.</span>
