Handing over decision making to your children is a ____ process based on their age, maturity, and decision-making history.

It ____ be downright dangerous to give children complete latitude in their decision making.

You can, however, begin to teach decision making to very young children by setting reasonable ____ to their decisions.

For example, if you took your children into a convenience store and told them they could have anything they wanted, they would be overwhelmed by the choices (which, research shows, either tend to prevent people from making decisions or result in poor ____).

The affect-labeling group showed steep declines in ____ rate and skin conductance compared to the control group, whose levels of physiological arousal remained high.

Brain-scanning studies offer further evidence of the calming effect of affect labeling: simply naming what is felt reduces activity in the ____, the brain structure involved in processing fear and other strong emotions.

Sometimes, the words are compatible with the color with which they are printed (e.g., "____" printed with red ink).

In other conditions, the words are incompatible with their color (e.g., "red" ____ in blue).

People usually complete this task more slowly in incompatible than ____ conditions.

What my friend dislikes is something ____ called "cheese."

I'm sure that he had a bad cheese experience in ____.

He ate ____ he didn't like and learned that "cheese" is bad.

With that negative attitude, he quickly rejected anything else called "cheese" (and very likely did not ____ a wide experience with cheeses anyway), reinforcing his belief that "cheese" is bad.

As a result, this ____, who is in other respects normal, cannot bear to eat anything that he believes is called "cheese."

He actually thinks that ____ is some flavor or property of cheese that makes it taste bad to him.

But that is not the case: cheeses don't share a particular ____ or flavor or source.

This view received a severe blow from ____ that people from very different cultures could translate emotion words effectively and even recognize facial expressions of emotion.

A highly influential research program by Paul Ekman and his associates began with photographs of facial expressions that Americans would easily recognize as expressing ____ basic emotions: angry, sad, happy, and the like.

Ekman and his group traveled all over the world showing the photographs to ____ in widely different cultures, including even some distant tribes that had had almost no contact with Western civilization.

In addition, he was able to show something more subtle and ____ more important.

Things don't ____ fall at a constant rate: they constantly accelerate.

Of course, accepting Galileo's conclusions ____ us to make some logical inferences about the compatibility of rolling and falling, but this is exactly the point.

Galileo was not simply a good logician or a good ____.

One of his unique talents was his ____ to blend logic and observation into a seamless set of arguments that could knock someone's socks off (and predict how quickly they would fall to the floor).

Accustomed to bargains and overwhelmed with options, consumers must have a ____ to buy now.

"Do-good" products such as those that tout being environmentally conscious or supporting communities offer not just one but three plus-one purchasing incentives: a compelling and human ____, rationalization, and an emotional boost for the consumer who feels altruistic while spending.

For example, consumers who purchase Tom's Shoes or ____ flu shots are told that their purchase will result in a pair of shoes or a flu shot being donated to someone in need through each company's one-to-one matching program.

Thus, in addition to their purchase, consumers also get to see themselves in a ____ positive light; they feel less wary about these businesses, which have been humanized through a compelling story of need; and they have the rationalization of giving rather than spending.

There's a ____ between a story and a plot.

They may seem to be the same thing (a narrative account of some action with a beginning, middle, and ____), but they aren't.

A story, as opposed to a plot, is the straightforward account of everything that happens in the ____ that it happens.

A ____ is the way events are selected and arranged with an emphasis not only on what happened but on why it happened.

In other words, plots involve cause and effect, not ____ one event following another.

The English novelist E. M. Forster illustrated the difference between story and ____ by this example.

Here's a story: The king ____ and then the queen died.

This is a succession of events, simply ____ temporally: this happened and then this happened.

Here's a plot: The king died and ____ the queen died of grief.

Events are now connected by cause and effect: the death of the king ____ to the death of the queen from grief.

For Forster, a story asks "And then?" (X happens and then Y happens). A plot asks "____?"

Married couples are highly motivated to empathize with one another; to do this, they mimic each other's ____ expressions, which in turn facilitates similar emotional experiences.

People who are on the ____ page get along better and are more likely to stay happily married.

Over time, research confirms, this mimicry leads to ____ changes in how the face is shaped.

In one study, more than a hundred volunteers were shown photographs of men and women taken in their first year of marriage and taken twenty-five years later, on the spouses' ____ wedding anniversary.

They were also shown photos of randomly matched ____ at the same ages.

The volunteers were asked to judge the physical similarity of the ____.

____ enough, there was an increase in similarity among the married couples at the twenty-five-year mark, but not the randomly matched pairs.

Most striking, the more similar ____ looked, the happier they reported they were in their union.

So next time you are struggling to ____ with your spouse, try to subtly mimic his or her facial expression; it is likely to make you feel in sync and strengthen that emotional link that can weaken in times of strife.

In the 1960s, Richard Thompson, a neuroscientist at the University of California at Irvine, recorded the activity of single neurons in the cortex of cats while the animals were ____ with series of tones or of light flashes.

Some cells fired ____ after a certain number of events.

One neuron, for instance, reacted after six events of any ____, regardless of whether this was six flashes of light, six brief tones, or six longer tones.

Sensory modality did not seem to matter: The neuron apparently cared ____ about number.

Unlike a digital computer, it did not respond in a discrete ____ manner, either.

Rather, its activation level grew after the fifth item, reached a peak for the sixth, and decreased for ____ numbers of items.

Several similar cells, each tuned to a different number, were recorded in a ____ area of the cat's cortex.

Information technology can play an important role in both bringing communities together and splitting them ____.

On the one hand, IT has the potential to increase shared information and norms ____ larger groups.

For instance, in the 1960s, most Americans ____ their news from one of three national television networks and a small number of other publications.

If Walter Cronkite, a famous American broadcast journalist, said it, many Americans believed it was ____.

That almost certainly helped spread more shared norms across a ____ that previously had strong regional differences.

But rather than jump immediately to ____ fighting, individuals typically engage in nonaggressive communicative displays, like the roaring of red deer, the "jousting" displays of stalk-eyed flies, the croaking of European toads, or the loud "wahoo" calls of male baboons.

Ethologists now have a good ____ of how these displays have evolved ― that is, why they are evolutionarily stable.

In red deer, for ____, roaring is energetically costly, so only males in good physical condition can roar repeatedly, for long durations.

Moreover, the acoustic features of a male's roar are constrained by his body size, so ____ large males can produce deep-pitched roars.

And larger males are more successful ____.

As a consequence, a male's roaring cannot be faked ― because small males and males in poor condition cannot produce low-pitched roars at a high rate ― and roaring ____ as an honest indicator of size, condition, and competitive ability.

____ use displays to avoid physical fights, as these signals accurately reflect physical condition and size, making them reliable evolutionary indicators of competitive strength.

To demonstrate how our minds have adapted, consider a typical high school task: writing a research ____.

Baby Boomers most likely went to their local library, ____ card catalogues, took longhand notes, and painstakingly typed their papers on a typewriter.

Their challenge was in ____ information.

They ____ things like how to spell words, because reference materials weren't readily available and the process of checking was time consuming.

Haste ____ waste.

____ to today.

The ____ Boomer challenge of finding information is less relevant ― information is extremely accessible.

This means that those brain activities don't get the workout today that they did for previous generations of high school ____.

Today's young brains are heavily ____ on scanning and processing mountains of information.

Their ____ are trained for speed.

But it's not only the ____ who are increasingly addicted to speed.

We're all ____ patient and less able to focus, and we all want things faster.

It's no wonder we've replaced the ____ "trend" with "trending."

We barely alight on a new idea long enough for it to be a trend; it's just zipping by or "____."
