Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

62.9K
In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).

Lung Capacity

56.1K
The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.

Instinctive Drift01:05

Instinctive Drift

671
Instinctive drift refers to the tendency of animals to revert to their innate behaviors despite repeated reinforcement. Breland and Breland demonstrated this concept in an experiment with a raccoon. The raccoon was trained to pick up two coins and place them in a container in exchange for food. Initially, the raccoon learned to associate the coins with food, making them a conditioned stimulus or a substitute for food. However, over time, the raccoon became less willing to put the coins into the...

Diffusion01:12

Diffusion

216.5K
Diffusion is the passive movement of substances down their concentration gradients—requiring no expenditure of cellular energy. Substances, such as molecules or ions, diffuse from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in the cytosol or across membranes. Eventually, the concentration will even out, with the substance moving randomly but causing no net change in concentration. Such a state is called dynamic equilibrium, which is essential for maintaining overall...

Diffusion

6.3K
Diffusion is a type of passive transport. In passive transport, a substance tends to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until the concentration is equal across the space. For example, take the diffusion of substances through the air. When someone opens a perfume bottle in a room filled with people, the perfume is at its highest concentration in the bottle and is at its lowest at the edges of the room. The perfume vapor will diffuse, or spread away, from the...

Genetic Drift

Natural selection—probably the most well-known evolutionary mechanism—increases the prevalence of traits that enhance survival and reproduction. However, evolution does not merely propagate favorable traits, nor does it always benefit populations.

Summary

Cognitive models for object tracking are limited. This study found that tracking multiple objects leads to errors, suggesting a single decision variable causes limitations in multi-object tracking.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive psychology
  • Perception
  • Human factors

Background:

  • Effective object tracking is crucial for action planning in dynamic environments.
  • Existing cognitive models for tracking single or multiple objects are insufficient.
  • Understanding limitations in multi-object tracking is vital for human-computer interaction and robotics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test a cognitive model for time to contact (TTC) judgments of moving objects.
  • To investigate the cognitive mechanisms underlying single- and dual-object tracking.
  • To identify limitations in human capacity for tracking multiple objects.

Main Methods:

  • Human subjects judged the time to contact (TTC) for one or two briefly invisible moving objects.
  • Response error variance was analyzed using an inverse Gaussian distribution.
  • A biased drift-diffusion model was employed to simulate and explain subject responses.
  • Inter-object error dependence was examined during dual-object tracking tasks.

Main Results:

  • Subject response patterns were best explained by an inverse Gaussian distribution and a biased drift-diffusion model.
  • Tracking two objects resulted in error dependence, indicating a shared decision variable.
  • This shared variable leads to error propagation between tracked objects.
  • Findings help interpret previous observations like asymmetric interference in multi-object tracking.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a cognitive model explaining TTC judgments and object tracking limitations.
  • A single decision variable is used for reporting TTC of multiple objects, causing significant limitations.
  • Error propagation between objects highlights a critical constraint in human multi-object tracking capacity.
  • The findings offer insights into human perception and decision-making in dynamic environments.
