Are there any cutting edge techniques that enable to acquire foreign language at relatively fast pace? The one program I'm aware of is duolingo, which is a free language learning tool. |

Why do we become bored of stimuli after multiple exposures to it? Good question! Here's a similar question: cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/1792/… a hint for research -check pandora Internet radio. It plays a lot of music that people originally like, but it gets tedious after many replays. Maybe there was some research on why. |

How does displaying existing votes to a poll influence subsequent voting behaviour? This may be relevant to social media website up/downvoting too, for sits like reddit or stackexchange, where the first few votes may influence subsequent behavior. |

Why have historically most inventors been men? I've observed 6 men to 1 woman ratio in an engineering university not so long ago, and don't believe the ratio is much better in computer science and math. Maybe in the context of this question, invention is defined too narrowly, as something mechanico-scientific. What if you include other areas of creativity such as fashion design and culinary? |

Are there any standard psychometric scales that are only applicable to within-subject designs? But if you do not give subjects free beer in the first case, how do you expect to measure their happiness if you try to trick them again? |

How do you know if it's psychosomatic or not? From what I've been reading about bipolar disorder, the Person's sensitivity to pain is subject to change. Depression lowers pain threshold, causing the person to feel what was easily ignored before. This causes a number of anxiety- related thoughts to raise about these "new symptoms". - from "bipolar disorder" by F. Mondimore |

Why people choose “boring” colors for new cars? From the article Jeff linked, it seems that dull colors are mostly due to new paint standards and longer expected car lifespan |

Why people choose “boring” colors for new cars? I saw that orange is cheap while doing research on user interface colors. I don't remember the exact site, but both of these mention orange as "inexpensive" empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/color-orange.html and changingminds.org/disciplines/communication/color_effect.htm |

Do internet memes say something about how the brain works? I'm interested in this question, because I see examples of a distinct pattern of behaviors, that appear to be unrelated to each other. I was interested if there's a brain region or some instinct involved. |

How repeatable are cognitive science findings within the same individual? If I understand this correctly, there are two types of experiments then: the one shot ones, and those focused on learning, right? |
