  2. Environmental error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_error

    The environmental errors have different causes, which are widening with the passage of time, as the research works telling us, including; temperature, humidity, magnetic field, constantly vibrating earth surface, wind and improper lighting.

  3. Evolutionary mismatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_mismatch

    Since environmental change occurs naturally and constantly, there will certainly be examples of evolutionary mismatch over time. However, because large-scale natural environmental change – like a natural disaster – is often rare, it is less often observed. Another more prevalent kind of environmental change is anthropogenic (human-caused).

  4. Criticism of evolutionary psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_evolutionary...

    Both sides of the debate stress that statements such as "biology vs. environment" and "genes vs. culture" amount to false dichotomies, and outspoken critics of sociobiology such as Richard Lewontin, Steven Rose and Leon Kamin helped to popularise a "dialectical" approach to questions of human behaviour, where biology and environment interact in ...

  5. False positives and false negatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positives_and_false...

    The false positive rate (FPR) is the proportion of all negatives that still yield positive test outcomes, i.e., the conditional probability of a positive test result given an event that was not present.

  6. Environmental sensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_sensitivity

    The concept of Environmental Sensitivity integrates multiple theories on how people respond to negative and positive experiences. These include the frameworks of Diathesis-stress model [4] and Vantage Sensitivity, [5] as well as the three leading theories on more general sensitivity: Differential Susceptibility, [6] [7] Biological Sensitivity to Context, [8] and Sensory processing sensitivity ...

  7. Entrainment (chronobiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrainment_(chronobiology)

    An example is the interaction between circadian rhythms and environmental cues, such as light and temperature. Entrainment helps organisms adapt their bodily processes according to the timing of a changing environment. [1] For example, entrainment is manifested during travel between time zones, hence why humans experience jet lag.

  8. Environment and intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_and_intelligence

    In contrast the environment causes meaningful processing as the neurons adapt to stimuli presented. [2] The capacity of the brain to adapt its connections to environmental stimuli diminishes over time, and therefore it would follow that there is a critical period for intellectual development as well.

  9. Environmental psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_psychology

    Environmental psychology is a branch of psychology that explores the relationship between humans and the external world. [1] It examines the way in which the natural environment and our built environments shape us as individuals.
