history
Question 4
Question

Answer
-
consistent individual differences when comparing personal measurements and observations.
-
mathematical equations designed by the individual and not yet proofed by a council.
-
A pseudo-science developed in the early 1900s that claimed to be able to determine an individual's personality through full body measurements.
-
the process of making up an equation during a math exam when you've forgotten the actual formula you're supposed to use.
Question 5
Question
Mental chronometry refers to the study of...
Answer
-
how people chronologically order their life experiences.
-
measuring of the speed of information processing through reaction-time experiments.
-
individual differences in sensory measurements or observations.
