Smart People Choke Under Pressure People perceived as the most likely to succeed might also be the most likely to crumble under pressure. A new study finds that individuals with high working-memory capacity, which normally allows them to excel, crack under pressure and do worse on simple exams than when allowed to work with no constraints. Those with less capacity score low, too, but they tend not to be affected by pressure. "The pressure causes verbal worries, like 'Oh no, I can't screw up,'" said Sian Beilock, assistant professor of psychology at Miami University of Ohio. "These thoughts reside in the working memory." "When they begin to worry, then they're in trouble," Beilock told LiveScience. The findings are detailed this week's issue of Psychological Science. Working memory, also known as short-term memory, holds information that is relevant to performance and ensures task focus. The study analyzed 93 undergraduate students from Michigan State University to determine their working-memory capacities.

Loi de Zipf On nomme Loi de Zipf une observation empirique de la fréquence des mots dans un texte. Elle a pris le nom de son auteur, George Kingsley Zipf (1902-1950). Cette loi a été par la suite généralisée par Benoit Mandelbrot. Genèse Zipf avait entrepris d'analyser une œuvre monumentale de James Joyce, Ulysse, d'en compter les mots distincts, et de les présenter par ordre de nombre (La notion de nombre en linguistique est traitée à l’article « Nombre grammatical ».) décroissants d'occurrences. La légende dit que le mot le plus courant revenait 8 000 fois ; le dixième mot 800 fois ; le centième, 80 fois ; et le millième, 8 fois. Ces résultats semblent, à la lumière (La lumière est l'ensemble des ondes électromagnétiques visibles par l'œil humain, c'est-à-dire comprises dans des longueurs d'onde de 380nm (violet)...) d'autres études que l'on peut faire en quelques minutes ( Forme première d'un document : Droit : une minute est l'original d'un acte. où s est juste légèrement plus grand que 1.

Dueling Network Lonely lemurs listen to, understand other species’ warning calls While not the brightest of primates, one species of lemur has shown that it can still learn a trick or two, staying safe from predators by heeding the alarm calls of other creatures in the forest. Of all the species of lemur living on the island of Madagascar, only one, Lepilemur sahamalazensis, has been found to exhibit this trait. The solitary, nocturnal creatures were found to respond to the alarm calls of the blue-eyed black lemur and to those from several different species of bird. A team of researchers from Bristol University, Bristol Zoo, and Torino University in Italy studied the behaviour of the Lepilemur, called the Sahamalaza sportive lemur because of the way it leaps between trees. As a solitary creature, the Sahamalaza sportive lemur doesn’t have the benefit of relying on others from its group to warn it of predators. Watching the behavior of sportive lemurs suggested that they might be very aware of what goes on in the forest.

Scientists use iPods, car batteries to build a frog surveillance net Put this on your playlist: scientists at the University of Puerto Rico have developed a system to monitor wildlife in tropical rainforests, using captured audio in real time to remotely record the sounds made by animals. Using hardware that includes iPods, solar panels, and car batteries, the scientists created a network of radio-connected listening posts around the world that allows them to collect data 24 hours a day over long periods of time. The sound will help them track the effects of environmental changes—such as deforestation and climate change—on endangered species. The system, called Arbimon (Automated Remote Biodiversity Monitoring Network), was created by a team led by Dr. The collected audio is then transmitted over a 900MHz radio signal back to a collection base station—which can be up to 24 miles away—and is uploaded over the Internet to the team's server in Puerto Rico.
