There are multiple theories describing how a little kids brain is more developed in learning complex subjects when compared to adult minds.

Conditional on preferring the outcome from lying over the outcome from truth-telling‚ a person is sensitive to neither her own [monetary] gain from lying‚ nor how much [monetary] harm she causes the other side. Notice that aside from the preface of “preferring the outcome from lying”‚ the rest of the Hypothesis seems quite at odds with Gneezy’s Result. The reconciliation is that a significant fraction of Gneezy’s subjects prefer the outcome from lying to truth-telling in some experimental

The Red Queen Hypothesis The Red Queen Hypothesis was formulated by Van Valen in 1973‚ and its original purpose was to give an understanding of the adaptation dynamics between species (Vermeij and Roopnarine‚ 2013). The principles of The Red Queen Hypothesis is clearly formulated in McCune (1982)‚ that states ”all taxa are running on a treadmill powered by an environment which deteriorates at a stochastically constant rate. The result is that an ancient taxon is no better adapted than a younger

All of the plants in the groups with 5 seeds at least grew. This indicates that dependent variables such as competition and the environment itself has an influence on how a plant grows and develops. If the T-Stat>T-Critical‚ then we reject the null hypothesis and choose the alternative. The only one we actually accept the null hypothesis are the Leaves
