The scientists who were trying to explain the continent shapes, just like scientists today, are devoting much time, thought and effort to developing and substantiating ideas that will account for the available evidence. However, whenever a new idea is proposed, it almost always requires further work and modification. Note that each idea proposed thus far regarding the continents has some explanatory power, but also has significant problems. How does the time required to develop and substantiate science ideas as illustrated in this story compare to what science textbooks convey about the time required to develop and substantiate science ideas?

Consultant: you're welcome. as a first step, our team analyzed the other potential primary contenders. the reality is that with such a strong field, it is going to be difficult to gain the of votes necessary to avoid a runoff—unless you want to go negative from the start. and our opposition research team found plenty of ammunition to do just that.

"six months ago, several of molly's friends joined the trimtime fitness center. each of them participated in trimtime's weight-reduction and fitness regimen. all reported substantial weight reduction, and all are visibly slimmer. molly is convinced. she joins trimtime and enrolls in the program, hoping and expecting to see the same results. she is especially delighted to learn that trimtime had adjusted its program to make it even more effective in a shorter period of time." what is the feature in question/attribute of interest in this argument?

Dr. laguardia is a cognitive neuroscientist who is interested in the effect of brain concussions on the ability to recognize faces. he conducts a quasi-experimental study in which he examines football players before and after the regular season using the benton facial recognition test (a published, widely used measure of one's ability to recognize faces) to compare those who received concussions to those who did not. he finds that players who had concussions during the regular season performed worse on the benton facial recognition test than did players who did not experience which of the following is true regarding external validity in dr.laguardia's study? a. because dr. laguardia selected participants who actually experienced concussions, the study b. because dr. laguardia's study is a quasi-experiment, it is impossible to obtain c. because dr. laguardia's dependent variable was assessed in the laboratory, the study d. because dr. laguardia selected a widely used measure, his study generalizes to has strong external validity. external validity has limited external validity. other applications of this measure.
