Jackie loves watching science fiction shows and writing fan fiction. She posts her most recent story online one evening. When she wakes up, she finds a comment from a reader saying that her plot was almost identical to an old episode of Doctor Who (a science fiction program that Jackie had watched all of the episodes of several years ago). Based upon this, what memory error had Jackie most likely experienced? 

Walking down the hall you hear Mr. Shapiro shouting.  When you enter his room you see smoke & flames coming from the electrical outlet.  The first thing you should do is….

Differences in the amplitude of light waves will be perceived as differences in _________. Differences in the amplitude of sound waves will be perceived as differences in _________.

Danica is the coach of a rowing team. She thinks that her rowers could try a bit harder than they are. As such, she installs a force gauge that allows her to monitor how hard each individual member of the team is rowing. She finds that her team improves by 10% after she installs the force gauges. The fact that Danica’s rowing team rowed harder when each of their individual efforts was being monitored as compared to when only the team performance was being monitored is most consistent with:

A sore caused by constant unrelieved pressure on the skin is a…
