Answer:

Hello YOU!

Explanation:

Phrenology was a science of character divination, faculty psychology, theory of brain and what the 19th-century phrenologists called "the only true science of mind."Phrenology came from the theories of the idiosyncratic Viennese physician Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828).

Gall believed that the bumps and uneven geography of the human skull were caused by pressure exerted from the brainunderneath. He divided the brain into sections that corresponded to certain behaviors and traits that he called fundamental faculties. This is referred to as localization of function.

Phrenology is considered pseudoscience today, but it was actually a vast improvement over that era's prevailing views of personality. ... But phrenology may be undergoing a redemption of sorts. Not the skull part—that's still considered bunk.

Phrenology was particularly popular in the U.S. because it fit so well with the idea of the American dream–the notion that we can accomplish our goals despite a humble heritage. Spurzheim believed that the brain was like a muscle that could be exercised.

A student wants to perform an experiment to test the effect of different colored lights on the growth of basil plants. She sets
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

light is the independent variable, height of the plant is the dependent variable. Dependent is the effect that based on the independent.

Explanation:

lets break it down. 1) you want to know the effect of something you apply from one thing to another. Let say, if you grow your plants under the sunlight, the plants grow taller. In this case, the sunshine is the independent variable whereas the height of the plant/how tall it can grow is the dependent variable. 2)NOW, before i give the answer. The design of the question is not good for high school students. i think your teacher thinks "light" is the independent variable. 3)However, the question contains confounding variables in it because different lights might produce different effects to the height of the plants. If you want to test if plants are exposed to light grows taller than plants do not expose to light, then you should have all the lights are the same. 4) So, all the plants should be exposed to one certain light to avoid confounding. Confounding means that either red light and sunlight are both produce the same effect whereas the other colors do not help the plants to grow taller. 5)Your teacher should test one light at a time. So, if he is testing with all different colors of light, then light is the independent variable, and height of the plant is the dependent variable.
