Document Summary
Marion eals and irwin silberman of york university have conducted studies that suggest women are on average 60-70% more proficient than men at remembering details from a scene and the locations of objects placed in a room. (pg. 8) Janine willis and alexander todorov of princeton have found that people can make snap judgments about a person"s trustworthiness, competence, aggressiveness and likability within the first tenth of a second. (8) Todorov gave his subjects microsecond glimpses of the faces of competing politicians. A study in 1950s found that 54% of the couples who applied for marriage licenses in columbus, Ohio, lived within sixteen blocks of each other when they started going out and 37% lived within five blocks of each other. In college people are much more likely to go out with people who have dorm rooms on the same hallway or the same courtyard. (11) Geoffrey miller notes that adults in general have vocabulary of about 60,000 words.
