The cognitive cell: bacterial behavior reconsidered
Research on how bacteria adapt to changing environments underlies the contemporary biological understanding of signal transduction (ST), and ST provides the foundation of the information-processing approach that is the hallmark of the 'cognitive revolution,' which began in the mid-20th century. Yet cognitive scientists largely remain oblivious to research into microbial behavior that might prov...
متن کاملCognitive Illusions Reconsidered
Behavioral economists have done a great service in connecting psychology and economics. Up to now, however, most have focused on cognitive illusions and anomalies, in order to prove the descriptive failure of neoclassical economic models. Some conjectured that “mental illusions should be considered the rule rather than the exception” (Thaler, 1991, p. 4), thus questioning the assumption that pr...
متن کاملStereotype efficiency reconsidered: encoding flexibility under cognitive load?
According to the encoding flexibility model, stereotypes are efficient because they facilitate, in different ways, the encoding of both stereotype-consistent and stereotype-inconsistent information when capacity is low. Because stereotypical information is conceptually fluent, it may be easily understood, even when resources are scant. As a result, processing resources may shift from stereotypi...
متن کاملMulticollinearity Reconsidered
In this paper we intend to improve the explanatory power of regressions when the deletion method is used for the remedy of Multicolinearity. If one deletes the variable (s) that is (are) responsible for Multicolinearity, he loses some information that is not common between the deleted variable (s) and the other remaining variables in the regression. To improve this method, we run the deleted va...
متن کاملBacterial Programmed Cell Death and Multicellular Behavior in Bacteria
Traditionally, programmed cell death (PCD) is associated with eukaryotic multicellular organisms. However, recently, PCD systems have also been observed in bacteria. Here we review recent research on two kinds of genetic programs that promote bacterial cell death. The first is mediated by mazEF, a toxin-antitoxin module found in the chromosomes of many kinds of bacteria, and mainly studied in E...
