Handwriting analysis or graphology could be shown to be
accurate if... - THE CORRECT ANSWER-A large sample of people (more
than 1000) took the personality test and the results agreed with
the results of the hand writing analysis.
(Correct! If a test has a positive result multiple times there is a
high probability that the hypothesis is correct.)
The researchers interested in zero point energy... - THE CORRECT
ANSWER-are using the scientific method.
Touch therapy is a healing technique based on Asian practices,
in the video a hospital: - THE CORRECT ANSWER-was trying to find a
way to objectively test if touch therapy is actually effective.
,Why was it important that the people present did not know
where the pipes were at the scientific test of dowsing? - THE
CORRECT ANSWER-The dowser may rely on unconscious cues from
people to identify where objects were hidden during the test.
The hospital's efforts to determine if touch therapy has a
positive effect on patients was difficult because... - THE CORRECT
ANSWER-human beings were involved; some patients responded
to untrained therapists and some untrained therapists felt
sensations and thought they were possibly providing therapy.
(It is difficult to conduct a truly objective study when humans
are a variable.)
In the hospital's experiments testing the efficacy of touch
therapy since one touch therapist was able to have an impact on
the cancer cells it must be a valid technique. - THE CORRECT ANSWER-
False
(Many more experiments are needed to determine what other
variables may have affected the cancer cells.)
Which "type of knowledge" does the statement, "The bone from
Arlington Springs Woman was dated using radiocarbon to
between 13,500-13,200 years ago. " represent? - THE CORRECT
ANSWER-Fact
In New Mexico, Clovis points were considered older than
Folsom points because they were found in lower strata. This is
an example of... - THE CORRECT ANSWER-relative dating
,If archaeologists found fragments of a boat associated with
Solutrean materials in Europe then it would prove that Clovis
people came from Europe. - THE CORRECT ANSWER-False
(Just because people had boats does not mean that they could
cross the Atlantic or did so.)
Given the data presented in the film. No theory explaining how
people got into the New World is better supported than any
other. Nevertheless some of the "data" presented in the film
was better than others. Which of the following is the weakest? -
THE CORRECT ANSWER-Suwanee Points must date to the peak of the
last glacial period because they were found associated with a
Walrus tusk in the Chesapeake Bay Area.
Al Goodyear thought there may be a "pre-Clovis" occupation at
the Topper Site because other researchers had started to find
sites that were older than Clovis. If he found artifacts or
materials that may have been modified by people (ecofacts)
below the Clovis layer then people may have lived in the area
before Clovis times. He excavated lower into an Ice Age Sand
and found stones in piles and some pieces had sharp edges that
would not have been made by rolling down the hill. He asked
Steve Foreman to date the sediment because he did not find any
preserved carbon. Steve could not date the same soil layer but
dated an area above where the modified stones were found. The
sediment dated to ~15,000 years ago. Therefore the modified
rocks are older than Clovis. In future excavations at the Topper
Site Al is going to look for more materials below the Clovis
layers at the site.
Based on the narrative above the statement, "If - THE CORRECT
ANSWER-Inductive Thinking
, Of the list below which of the following would not contribute to
verifying Dennis Stanford's hypothesis that people entered the
New World from Europe across the Atlantic? - THE CORRECT
ANSWER-If a hide boat successfully sailed across the Atlantic
Ocean.
Since the Broken Mammoth site and older site with
microblades are both located in Alaska they... - THE CORRECT
ANSWER-were part of Beringia and may not be related to sites in
the other areas of North America.
Since materials from the Gault site in Texas suggest that the
people living there and using Clovis points lived a different
lifestyle from mammoth hunting Clovis people in New Mexico
one researcher working at the Gault proposed that... - THE
CORRECT ANSWER-Clovis points are a technology that spread
between groups not a group of people that moved and
expanded across the continent.
How was Arlington Springs Woman's remains dated to more
than 13,000 years old? - THE CORRECT ANSWER-Collagen from her
bones was directly dated with radiocarbon dating.
Clovis points are easily made and exclusively used to hunt
mammoths and mastodons. - THE CORRECT ANSWER-False
The idea that Clovis were the first in North America or that
Clovis points were transferred rather than people migrating
across North America are... - THE CORRECT ANSWER-working
hypotheses that researchers are collecting data to evaluate.
