What causes dreamers to accept dreams as reality? [I'm perhaps in the minority here.] I had thought the title meant "What causes people to accept recalled dreams as reality?" until the description of the question cleared that up for me. Nothing in the title presently indicates or implies that the acceptance occurs during the dream. Maybe rephrase the question "What causes dreaming people to accept their dream as reality?" or "What prevents dreaming people from wondering if they're dreaming?" |

What is the term for human beings' tendency to obey without thinking? Obedience is a form of the word "obey" in the title. It doesn't take into account the "without thinking" aspect. I don't know if any English word does. |

Neural basis of primitive reflexes AFAIK, the involvement of the frontal areas is that they inhibit primitive reflexes. |

When counting a given letter in sentences, why do people tend to omit occurrences in certain common words? If my hypothesis is correct, then one of the edits changed the meaning of the original question for the worse: If the reader uses the "F" phoneme to scan the sentence for the letter "F", then "OF" will be missed because it has no "F" phoneme. I suggest removing "certain common words" from the edited question and don't add assumptions to questions. |

Why do participants prefer to give input values that are “round numbers”? @JeromyAnglim Are you sure this "Answer" answers your question? It's certainly helpful, but it doesn't explain participants' preferences. (Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.) |

What is the term for judging based on a simulation of the same parameters on oneself @H.Muster You're right: Egocentrism. You should provide it as the answer. |
