It is well established that certain autonomic responses such as heart rate, perspiration, and respiration change under stress. In view of the fact that people generally have stronger autonomic responses when lying than when telling the truth, it follows that the polygraph would be a foolproof approach to lie detection. Which statement best explains why the polygraph is not more widely used in courtrooms and in testing of job applicants? Physiological arousal is much the same for several emotions, so the polygraph cannot always reliably distinguish guilt from other reactions. Most people can avoid detection when they lie. The polygraph has been shown to be reliable only in highly emotional cases, such as child abuse and spying. In controlled studies, the polygraph has correctly identified guilty individuals in only a small percentage of cases. A significant number of people show paradoxical autonomic reactions, responding more strongly when telling the truth than when lying.

As a result, he no longer goes over the speed limit when driving in Mississippi. Honeybees will automatically stick out their tongue when sugar water is placed on their antennae. If a neutral odor is paired with the sugar water, the bees will eventually stick out their tongue.

A reason that one typically does not notice a blind spot in the visual field is that the blind spot habituates to a stimulus when the head is held still the brain fills in missing information so there is no awareness that the visual field is incomplete the blind spot is very small, and no visual stimuli are likely to be so small that the blind spot completely obscures them visual stimuli usually affect the occipital cortex in both hemispheres most visual stimuli affect only one visual hemisphere, and one hemisphere can cover for the other
