    First, only the question is displayed. Then the answer is displayed too, for verification. The testing effect (also known as retrieval practice, active recall, practice testing, or test-enhanced learning) [1] [2] [3] suggests long-term memory is increased when part of the learning period is devoted to retrieving information from memory.

    AI programs are designed to simulate human perception and understanding. These systems are capable of adapting to new information and responding to changing situations. Machine learning has been used for various scientific and commercial purposes [1] including language translation, image recognition, decision-making, [2] [3] credit scoring, and ...

  5. Evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

    Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. [1] [2] It occurs when evolutionary processes such as natural selection and genetic drift act on genetic variation, resulting in certain characteristics becoming more or less common within a population over successive generations. [3]

  6. Memory - Wikipedia

    [2] [14] [15] Priming is the process of subliminally arousing specific responses from memory and shows that not all memory is consciously activated, [15] whereas procedural memory is the slow and gradual learning of skills that often occurs without conscious attention to learning. [2] [14] Memory is not a perfect processor and is affected by ...

  7. Irreducible complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_complexity

    Irreducible complexity (IC) is the argument that certain biological systems with multiple interacting parts would not function if one of the parts were removed, so supposedly could not have evolved by successive small modifications from earlier less complex systems through natural selection, which would need all intermediate precursor systems to have been fully functional. [1]

  8. Magnesium in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_in_biology

    Mn 2+ is very similar to Mg 2+ in terms of its chemical properties, including inner and outer shell complexation. Mn 2+ effectively binds ATP and allows hydrolysis of the energy molecule by most ATPases. Mn 2+ can also replace Mg 2+ as the activating ion for a number of Mg 2+-dependent enzymes, although some enzyme activity is usually lost. [56]

  9. Women in the workforce - Wikipedia

    The reasons for these differences may be differences in biology or in the work that women are performing. Women's higher rates of job-related stress may be due to the fact that women are often caregivers at home and do contingent work and contract work at a much higher rate than men.
