However, the Dani were able to distinguish colors with the same ability as English speakers, despite having fewer words at their disposal
Maybe this is because color is a physical property and time is an intangible concept.

We apply the rules of grammar to organize the lexicon in novel and creative ways,
I once read a book that described a concept called 'Selfing'. The concept was a discussion of the ways in which our language informs the way we think about the world around us. Specifically how the use of I Me and My tends to frame things around the ego. MY children or MY car informs the way you think of yourself.

Physical dependence involves changes in normal bodily functions—the user will experience withdrawal from the drug upon cessation of use. In contrast, a person who has psychological dependence has an emotional, rather than physical, need for the drug and may use the drug to relieve psychological distress. Tolerance is linked to physiological dependence, and it occurs when a person requires more and more drug to achieve effects previously experienced at lower doses. Tolerance can cause the user to increase the amount of drug used to a dangerous level—even to the point of overdose and death.
It's extremely disappointing to me how addiction is stigmatized in this country. Addiction is a disease that requires treatment.

This reminds me of a video I watched about a way that scientists can recreate visual images of what someone imagines in their mind's eye.

An allele is a specific version of a gene.

The story of malaria fits with Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection
Although evolution can seem very intentional, it is the result of random mutations. Sickle-cell may be a completely random mutation, not one that was selected.
-
Despite the negative evolutionary effects associated with this genetic mutation, the sickle-cell gene remains relatively common
Could the mutation be caused by some type of outside influence?

How do we determine if there is indeed a relationship between two things?
This reminds me of a study that investigated the relationship between mouth wash and mouth cancer. They discovered that people with mouth cancer bought mouthwash more frequently because mouth cancer causes bad breath. The initial hypothesis was that mouth wash was causing cancer.

Hearing this, you do some internet searches, but you are overwhelmed by the breadth of information and the wide array of sources. You see blog posts, top-ten lists, advertisements from healthcare providers, and recommendations from several advocacy organizations. Why are there so many sites? Which are based in research, and which are not?
This is a reality I've been trying to convey to my older parents. Finding out if you're learning something from a credible source or not on the internet is not an innate skill.

One such consequence can be seen in politics and public policy.

A psychologist interested in the relationship between behavior and exposure to violent images might ask these very questions.
I took a media studies class my freshman year that spent sometime discussing the different ways people are affected by media. For some it changes their behavior and others it affects their perspective.

Behaviorism is also deterministic at its core, because it sees human behavior as entirely determined by a combination of genetics and environment.
I believe this
