activate coexisting visual occurrence. There are two ways smell can be sensed, at the nose, orthonasally, and through the back of the throat as a part of flavor, retronasally. Typically, people do not take into account that smell is a part of flavor perception (Rozin, 1982: as cited in: Russell, Stevenson, & Rich, 2015), which makes it easier to examine what role the type of inducer has on the sensation.

The outsider is looking at themselves through another outsider. These hurdles delay or halt the logical reasoning. Especially for children, illogically transitions to a conclusion can

What does it mean to truly understand something and how do we go about doing so? Are we using our senses to a certain point or are we overgeneralizing every aspect of whatever it is we are trying to know? As human beings, we have a tendency of assuming, that if it sounds/feels right, it must be so. The problem is that not everything is so simple. Certain subjects, especially poetry, could be subject to assumption or interpretation, but that wouldn’t be a thorough portrayal and most likely you would

The VCI is a measure of crystallized intelligence representing Timmy’s ability to reason with previously learned information through verbal means. Crystallized intelligence develops largely as a function of both formal and informal educational opportunities, knowledge acquired from previous experiences, and interaction with the environment. Timmy's abilities were assessed by two tasks that required the use of abstract verbal reasoning and defining words. The VCI is not a clinically meaningful description

around us as we know it can only be known to us through sense-data: what we gather through our senses that have been fed by our experiences. “Sense data,” argues John Locke, “ are the alleged mind-dependent objects that we are directly aware of in perception, and that have exactly the properties they appear to have” (Huemer, 2004) For as one person may hold the view of a celestial being's guiding and shaping all of events driven by an immutable ideal, another may view this terrestrial experience of

I think the human need for a sense of belonging is partially based on a primal need to feel safe. In most survival situations you are always safer in numbers. The bigger group you belong to the more eyes and senses you have to be aware of possible threats. I think it is also true that if you feel you belong to the group you can trust them more and feel free to let your guard down. So the human need for belonging is based on survival. That said I think it also serves an emotional aspect. A sense of

The original Stroop task in 1935 was far from perfect as its conclusions were later re-evaluated and refined by Hintzman et al. (1972). It was determined that competition amongst stimuli was causing delays in incongruent tasks not interference from one stimulus over the other. Numerosity Stroop tasks demonstrated that numbers can also cause delays in reaction times when the number and number of digits are incongruent with each other (Windes, 1968). Although recently, Stroop tasks have become more
