QUOTE In the study, 200 participants with and without the gene variant were shown a series of words in rapid succession. The words were preclassified as either positive, negative or neutral.
Todd said all the participants tended to perceive the positive words better than the neutral words, but individuals with the gene variant tended to perceive the negative words better than those without the gene variant.
What?
QUOTE "So you might say, 'Oh, look at that waterfall and the amazing view, and we can look over the edge of this cliff here...' and somebody who is a deletion variant carrier may look at the same scene and see dangerous rocks that might fall, or places snakes may lurk, or bears," Todd said.
WTF? How does the word experiment from earlier get anywhere near this?
"What's this experiment about again?"
