They have been infected by ____ contagion.
In a long-term research project that Marc did with some of his ____ on patterns of antipredatory scanning by western evening grosbeaks, they found that birds in a circle showed more coordination in scanning than did birds who were feeding in a line.
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, where it was ____ for each grosbeak to see every other grosbeak.
Marc ____ whether the birds in line were more fearful because they didn’t know what their flockmates were doing.

Eventually, this “white noise” ____ the original message.
____ solution was to divide information into the smallest possible chunks, or “bits” (binary digits).
____ message is converted into a code made of 0s and 1s — every 0 is a low voltage and every 1 is a high voltage.
In creating this code, Shannon drew on binary mathematics, the idea that figures can be represented by just 0s ____ 1s, which had been developed by Gottfried Leibniz.

If mothers decide to breastfeed their children, they should nevertheless be aware of one thing: breastmilk, on its own, does not contain ____ proteins like those present in cow’s milk.
When a mother consumes dairy products, ____ this food allergen is passed to her child via her breastmilk.
As a result of this phenomenon, breastmilk can trigger cow’s milk protein allergies in ____ babies.
This information ____ not meant to minimize the benefits of breastfeeding.

5 사실적 믿음에 기반하는 상상력
Cognitive governance means that ____ beliefs guide how imagining unfolds.
When Kevin imagines lightning ____ a tree, he next imagines the tree bursting into flame.
But that imaginative transition — from imagining the lightning strike to imagining the flames — doesn’t come from ____
Kevin’s factual beliefs (that ____ is extremely hot and that trees are wood and hence flammable) guide his imagination from one imagining to the next.
If he ____ have these factual beliefs about lightning and trees, his imaginings wouldn’t unfold in that fashion.
Thus, factual beliefs govern inferential transitions among imaginings (as well as other ____ cognitive attitudes).
____ put, the information stored in a person’s factual beliefs guides how that person’s imaginings unfold; it does the same for other cognitive attitudes.
Importantly, imaginings don’t do the same for factual beliefs, ____ this lack of symmetry is a defining contrast.
