Question

“Africa [does this action]” in the title of a book by Claudia Zaslavsky. Comparisons can be made without performing this symbolic process thanks to a “sense” encoded in the brain by the ANS and the parallel individuation (20[1])system. (20[1])For very small inputs, this process is replaced by the near-instantaneous, visual process of subitizing. In a classic study of selective attention, (20[1])participants are asked to perform this process (20[1])for passes (20[1])made (20[1])by (20[1])a (20[1])(*) basketball (10[3])team, (10[5])but may fail (10[3])to notice a man (10[3])in a gorilla (10[1])suit in the process. (10[1])Children with dys·cal·culia may have difficulty performing this sequential process backwards (10[2])or without (10[1])use of their fingers. For 10 points, (10[1])name this process used to determine the number of objects in a set. ■END■ (10[8])
