How neuropsychology helps us understand normal cognitiwe function
on dissociations; however, what is not properly recognized is that group studies are typically concerned with associations and relationships. Shallice is at pains to argue that the value of single cases lies in the information they give concerning dissociation of deficits; he argues consistently against using associations in developing theory (pp. 35; 61; 207). The essential argument given is t...
متن کاملCan quantum theory explain dark matter?
Certain solutions to a gravitational form of Schrodinger’s equation can yield stable, macroscopic eigenstate solutions having no classical analogue, with properties resembling those of dark matter. Some more tractable solutions show: (1) radiative lifetimes far exceeding the universe’s age, implying negligible emission and inherent stability w.r.t. gravitational collapse, (2) negligible interac...
متن کاملA decline in prosocial language helps explain public disapproval of the US Congress.
Talking about helping others makes a person seem warm and leads to social approval. This work examines the real world consequences of this basic, social-cognitive phenomenon by examining whether record-low levels of public approval of the US Congress may, in part, be a product of declining use of prosocial language during Congressional debates. A text analysis of all 124 million words spoken in...
متن کاملHow Quantum Entanglement Helps to Coordinate Non-Communicating Players
We consider a coalitional game with the same payoff for all players. To maximize the payoff, the players need to use one collective strategy, if all players are in certain states, and the other strategy otherwise. The current state of each player changes according to external conditions and is not known to the other players. In one example of such a game, quantum entanglement between players re...
متن کاملHow to Use Quantum Theory Locally to Explain “non-local” Correlations
J.S. Bell’s work has convinced many that correlations in violation of CHSH inequalities show that the world itself is non-local, and that there is an apparently essential conflict between any sharp formulation of quantum theory and relativity. Against this consensus, this paper argues that there is no conflict between quantum theory and relativity. Quantum theory itself helps us explain such (o...
