TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to:

Laura Larimore, Emily Lincoln, Lauro Esquilona III, Patsy Ray, Courtney Thieberger, Catherine Cardenas, Katrina Snider, Cindi Maurice, Nellie Ferdinandtsen, Sandra Juntunen, Brandey Crawford, and Patrick Gilbert who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:

Unfortunately, many students with special needs have experienced repeated challenges in school and believe they have no control over their situation. They then give up trying to make changes and accept their fate in school. This concept in psychology was discovered by Martin Seligman and Steven F. Maier, finding that people may feel that they have little to no control over their life situation. Because of the lack of control, they may become unmotivated or try to take action, since they believe nothing they do will make a difference.... What is the name of this psychological concept?

Answer: LEARNED HELPLESSNESS

This week's trivia question: 

This assistive technology device was invented in 1898 by Miller Reese Hutchison using an electric current to amplify sounds. The design itself was a carbon transmitter, allowing the device to be portable. What did Miller Reese Hutchison invent?
