The aim of this study was to experimentally distinguish flexibility and broadening hypotheses by limiting through flanker masking the number of switches made between flankers and target.
Both flexibility (e.g., Baumann & Kuhl, 2005; Heerebout, Todorović, Smedinga, & Phaf, 2013; Tan, Jones, & Watson, 2009; but see Huntsinger, Clore, & Bar-Anan, 2010) and broadening hypotheses (Gasper & Clore, 2002; Rowe, Hirsh, & Anderson, 2007) have received ample empirical support.
As a result, novel approaches should be urgently explored to broaden hypothesis testing by targeting other important disease mechanisms.
We hope this recognition of different pathways to design will broaden the hypothesis space in the evolutionary social sciences and encourage methodological pluralism in the investigation of the mind.
This analysis may provide further evidence to support and broaden this hypothesis.
At first it may appear that these genes are advantageous to life in the rhizosphere, however their presence in bacteria such as the animal pathogen Brucella broadens this hypothesis.
We argue that such an approach could broaden the hypotheses considered in cognitive science, improving the generalizability of findings.
The impact of Doppler broadening on Taylor's hypothesis was discovered in studies of fluid turbulence by generalizing Taylor's hypothesis for the two-time, two-point correlation function (He and Zhang, 2006) and for the energy spectrum in the wavenumber-frequency domain (Wilczek and Narita, 2012).
Beyond Williamson's rather convincing hypothesis and broadening the discussion to all the other branches of Niger-Congo, there is no consensus among scholars as to the origins and historical development of Niger-Congo languages.
