Selective rehearsal plays an important role in these bias effects: retelling involves selectively retrieving and using story information, with consequent differences in memory.
Then people got involved, selectively breeding the cutest, cuddliest and most cooperative creatures until we got the pets we know today.
But that involves selectively remembering the past.The NRC's report on NASA and the Mars mission comes to a striking conclusion about why Americans still fly into space at all.
The method involves selectively etching the matrix over a prescribed length of composite and subsequently measuring the extension of the relaxed fibers relative to neighboring fibers that are still embedded within the matrix material.
The research involved selectively killing mouse nerve cells with a receptor for a neurotransmitter called substance P, one of a cocktail of chemicals released by nerve cells after the nerve ending senses a painful stimulus.
These results suggest that the striatal neurons are involved selectively in the acquisition of LTM under the weak conditioning, but not in that of STM.
Biofortification, a relatively new technique, involves selectively breeding staple plant varieties to increase specific nutrient levels in plant tissues.
The procedure involves selectively catheterising the hepatic artery; in some cases, for example where there is only a single tumour present, superselective catheterisation of the artery feeding the tumour may be performed.
However it should be noted that practice-induced activity changes in those studies were either not accompanied with improved performance [39], or selectively involved response selection [38].
It's not surprising that a broad-acting drug, which inactivates brain areas that are normally involved in selectively inhibiting brain activity, leads other areas become more active, says Brown. "This is the type of information we really need," he says.
