The birds in a line, who could only see their nearest neighbor, not only were less coordinated when scanning, but also were more nervous, changing their body and head positions significantly more than grosbeaks in a circle, ____ it was possible for each grosbeak to see every other grosbeak.

Kevin’s factual beliefs (that lightning is extremely hot and that trees are wood and hence flammable) ____ his imagination from one imagining to the next.
If he didn’t have these factual beliefs about lightning and ____, his imaginings wouldn’t unfold in that fashion.
Thus, factual beliefs govern inferential transitions among ____ (as well as other secondary cognitive attitudes).
Otherwise put, the information ____ in a person’s factual beliefs guides how that person’s imaginings unfold; it does the same for other cognitive attitudes.
Importantly, imaginings ____ do the same for factual beliefs, and this lack of symmetry is a defining contrast.
