Women are often critical of their mothers and identify with their most negative characteristics. Simultaneously, it has also been noted that strong bonds are often established between mothers and daughters. When traditional Oedipal theory is applied to women, it does not take into account sufficiently either the prevalence of daughters’ critical perceptions of their mothers or the strong connec...

Although animals of many species have been shown to discriminate between visual-spatial arrays or auditory-temporal sequences based on numerosity, most of the evidence for numerosity discrimination derives from experiments involving extensive laboratory training. Under these conditions, animals' discrimination of two numerosities depends on their ratio and is independent of their absolute value...

Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) generate wide jaw gapes when gouging trees with their anterior teeth to elicit tree exudate flow. Closely related cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) do not gouge trees but share similar diets including exudates. Maximizing jaw opening theoretically compromises the bite forces that marmosets can generate during gouging. To investigate how jaw-muscle arch...

Az alábbi tanulmány összeveti a görögök két ikonikus alakja, Oidipus és Sókratés történetét, megvizsgálja delphoi jóslatukra adott reakciójukat. Amellett érvel, hogy vétke hybris e nem másban áll, mint „kettős tudatlanságban”, melytől sókratési elenchos (’vizsgálat’, ’cáfolat’) megtisztítani szándékozik polgártársait. – Oidipusszal ellentétben elkerüli tragédiát, mivel megszívleli intést, az „i...

This study compared adults (Homo sapiens), young children (Homo sapiens), and adult tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) while they discriminated global and local properties of stimuli. Subjects were trained to discriminate a circle made of circle elements from a square made of square elements and were tested with circles made of squares and squares made of circles. Adult humans showed a global bias in ...
