Why frequencies are natural
Research in mathematical cognition has shown that rates, and other interpretations of x/y, are hard to learn and understand. On the other hand, there is extensive evidence that the brain is endowed with a specialized mechanism for representing and manipulating the numerosities of sets – that is, frequencies. Hence, base-rates are neglected precisely because they are rates, whereas frequencies a...
متن کاملWhy are natural sounds detected faster than pips?
Simple reaction times (RTs) were used to measure differences in processing time between natural animal sounds and artificial sounds. When the artificial stimuli were sequences of short tone pulses, the animal sounds were detected faster than the artificial sounds. The animal sounds were then compared with acoustically modified versions (white noise modulated by the temporal envelope of the anim...
متن کاملWhy Natural Disasters are a Disaster in Common Property Resources
Developing countries tend to suffer the most from natural disasters, but the mechanisms underlying this outcome are poorly understood. I postulate that the lack of strong and well defined property rights for renewable resources is a key factor increasing the impacts of disasters. Using a theoretical model for renewable resource extraction with irreversible investment, I show that common propert...
متن کاملvariation of natural frequencies between modes
it has been proved that natural frequencies are stationary at the natural modes. also it has been shown that at the first mode it is a minimum and for systems with finite number of degrees of freedom the highest frequency is maximum (reference 1 and 2). beyond these statements nothing more can be said about the behavior of the natural frequencies without defining precisely the manner in which t...

Recent findings in psychology in a recent paper in The Lancet have re-sparked a heated indicate that both physicians and laymen can improve their controversy concerning the merits (or lack thereof) of mam-inferences dramatically if the same information (probabilities) mography screening [1].
