According to Michener, DeLamater and Myers, a symbol is an arbitrary form that is used to refer to ideas, feelings, intentions or any other subject. It is arbitrary because there is nothing intrinsic in the symbol that inevitably links it to the subject it symbolizes.

There are several symbols that exist in our society that are understood by most people. When we wave, most people understand that this movement indicates a salutation (we are saying "hello"). Another example is raising a middle finger, which is considered obscene.

A symbol that I share with only one other person is a high-five in the air. I use this with my best friend, even if we are far away, when I want to show admiration or praise.

Why is it sometimes difficult to make decisions involving economic development and the environment?
asambeis [7]
More often than not it is very hard to make decisions about economic development and the environment and manage to balance them so that both of them are in the desired position. The problem is that almost always the economic development depends on destroying parts of the environment, so often the choice is to either to stagnate on an economical basis and protect the environment, or push for economic development and destroy parts of the environment. This is very often a conflict situation, and in the last decades with the bigger awareness about the nature it is becoming even harder a decision to be made.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Kosslyn's experiment found that the brain activity in the visual cortex:

<u>Plays a causal role in both perception and imagery.</u>

Explanation:

The investigation over the visual cortex done by Kossy, discovered that mental imaginary would activate the area of the visual cortex. This is so important because it proves that the brain, specifically this part, can operate without the real visual stimuli.

In other words the experiment proved that the visual cortex is not exclusivly activated when visual stimuli is present. This part of the brain can be activated by mental representation of for instance and object.

This experiment is important for the understangin of perception and memory.
