As their name suggests, as well as controlling the body's movements, this system is also sensitive to the behaviour of others: if you see someone moving in a sad way, these cells will react as if you are moving in the same way as them, which can bring you down, too.
"Dogs are very sensitive to human behaviour but they have fewer preconceptions," he says.
Infants carrying the 7-repeat allele thus seemed to be less sensitive to maternal behaviour.
We have shown in earlier research that voxel-based correlational methods, which correlate continuous measures of neural tissue integrity (in both grey and white matter) with continuous measures of behavioural performance, are remarkably sensitive to brain-behaviour relationships (Tyler et al., 2005 a ; Bright et al., 2007; Taylor et al., 2009).
Service users appeared sensitive to staff behaviours and attitudes that may not be in harmony.
20 However, to advance PA research in Africa, it is important to first develop or tailor standardised measures to be culturally sensitive to PA behaviours of people in the region's countries.
Hospital staff-ILA data demonstrated seasonal trends in influenza comparable to ILI, with potentially earlier warning and measures of disease burden that were less sensitive to community behaviours, when compared to ILI presentations in the same region.
However, our measure of approaches to learning – Biggs' Study Process Questionnaire [ 27] – is a reliable measure of deep and surface approaches to learning and thus should be sensitive to changes in behaviour.
Observer ratings are the most widely used and involve owners or keepers rating the animal using carefully chosen adjectives that are sensitive to the animals behaviour and niche (see Gosling, Kwan, & John, 2003).
