Jan 26	comment	Does evidence support Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? @JaderDias I'm sure Skeptics could tell me why the theory is weak but I'm more interested in how it's been evaluated inside the Cog Sci community.

Jan 25	revised	What is the term for a psychological effect which does not have a neurobiological/genetic basis? edited tags
Jan 25	comment	What are the “Must Know” papers of Cognitive Science? @OfriRaviv these questions are tricky, narrowing your scope can make it okay. The problem is there could be hundreds of answers to this question. This question is a pretty acceptable example. Note there sin't much disagreement; Design of Everyday Things and Don't Make Me Think come to mind almost instantly for most professionals. Try to find a question you can ask with that sort of focused potential response.

Jan 25	comment	What term describes people that cannot feel pain? I found CIP shortly after answering but Analgesia is a great term, I never inferred it from analgesic before.

Jan 25	comment	What is the effect of Social Proof on Conversion Rate? I have found This Paper already but their scope seems excessively broad; even expert reviews are considered "social media", I'm more interested in social proof of one's peers, Amazon reviews of a movie, not Ebert's review. Expert opinions have different and complicated effects.
