The psychological phenomenon that the child in the back seat is experiencing is a concept called optic flow.

To put it simply, optic flow is <em>the visual motion that you experience as you move through the world.</em> It refers to how you perceive things as you move around the world. The child is perceiving that the roadside is moving quickly because he or she is in a moving car, and thus it creates the perception that the roadside is moving faster than the buildings, which due to its size and position relative to the child, seems to move slower.

Why did Indians in the NW Territory go to war with the US.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: The Northwest Indian War (1785–1795), also known as the Ohio War, Little Turtle's War, and by other names, was a war between the United States (along with its Native Chickasaw and Choctaw allies) and the Western Confederacy (a confederation of numerous other Native American tribes), with support from the British, for control of the Northwest Territory. It followed centuries of conflict over this territory, first among Native American tribes, and then with the added shifting alliances among the tribes and the European powers of France and Great Britain, and their colonials. The United States Army considers it their first of the United States Indian War of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolutionary War, used the Great Lakes as a border between British territory and that of the United States. Numerous Native American peoples inhabited this region, known to the United States as the Ohio Country and the Illinois Country. Despite the treaty, which ceded the Northwest Territory to the United States, the British kept forts there and continued policies that supported the Native Americans. With the encroachment of European settlers west of the Appalachians after the War, a Huron-led confederacy formed in 1785 to resist usurpation of Indian lands, declaring that lands north and west of the Ohio River were Indian territory. President George Washington directed the United States Army to enforce U.S. sovereignty over the territory. The U.S. Army, consisting mostly of untrained recruits and volunteer militiamen, suffered a series of major defeats, including the Harmar Campaign (1790) and St. Clair's Defeat (1791). About 1,000 soldiers and militiamen were killed and the United States forces suffered many more casualties than their opponents. These defeats are among the worst ever suffered in the history of the US Army.

Marat540 [252]

The correct answer is implicit memory

Explanation:  Implicit Memory is the memory for procedures and skills, for example, the ability to drive, play ball, tie the shoelace and tie.

<u>It can be of four subtypes. </u>

memory acquired and evoked by means of "tips" (Priming) (or memory of perceptual representation) - which corresponds to the image of an event, preliminary to the understanding of what it means. An object, for example, can be retained in this type of implicit memory before we know what it is, what it is for, etc. It is considered that memory can be evoked by means of "tips" (fragments of an image, the first word of a poetry, certain gestures, smells or sounds).

procedural memory - refers to skills and habits. We know the movements necessary to knot a garvata, swim, drive a car, without having to describe it verbally.

associative memory

non-associative memory - These last two are strictly related to some type of response or behavior. We use associative memory, for example, when we begin to salivate simply by looking at an appetizing food, for having, at some point in our life, its appearance or smell associated with food. On the other hand, we use non-associative memory when, without realizing it, we learn that a repetitive stimulus, for example, a dog's bark, does not pose risks, which makes us relax and ignore it.
