So how might this apply to real life? Good task switchers may be better motivated to switch or better activators of their emotional and social motivational areas. Task-switching is a common cognitive task associated with attention and cognitive control. In this very interesting study, researchers examined what brain areas were associated with good task switching ability.

  • The Paucity of Intelligent Design
    Sure, the United States may well turn to a religion-dominated policy and social agenda; it has happened before. Perhaps were evolutionists to adopt a slick fallacy-filled propaganda campaign, fed through the revenues of dishonest evangelicals that fleece little old ladies out of their life savings, forming an unholy alliance with corporations and others who wish to trade on public ignorance to promote socially irresponsible and dangerous public policy, then it would be more 'plausible' and evolutionists 'not losers'. Re: Why Intelligent Design Is Going to Win This must be comedy Friday at Tech Central Station.

  • The Power of Reflected Glory Marketing
    Glad is all-too-tightly sealed in an increasingly common dilemma: how do you tap the power of social media when your brand or product is less than exciting to consumers, or even (in the case of the B2B market) invisible to them? As part of a multi-channel campaign, Dove invited women to share their thoughts and experiences on the campaign web site - and more than a million women logged in during 2005 alone. I love Glad Press'n Seal - a kind of futuristic plastic wrap that actually keeps your food sealed in its bowl, even when you accidentally knock it off the fridge shelf.
