Below you will see the words and word combinations you are going to work
with in the following exercises. First, read the text and fill in the gaps with
a proper word or word combination:
Twin TelepathyTwin пустоcredible is a belief that has been described
as a пустоscientific evidence in
psychological literature. Psychologists Stephen Hupp and Jeremy Jewell have
noted that all experiments on the subject have failed to provide any пустоwomb for telepathy between twins. According
to Hupp and Jewell there are various behavioral and genetic factors that пустоinvestigated to the twin telepathy myth
"identical twins typically spend a lot of time together and are usually
exposed to very similar environments. Thus, it's not at all surprising that
they act in similar ways and are adept at пустоcontribute and пустоreceiver each other's reactions to events."
A 1993 study by Susan Blackmore пустоDNA the claims of twin telepathy. In an
experiment with six sets of twins one subject would act as the пустоsender and the other the пустоanticipating . The sender was given selected
objects, photographs or numbers and would attempt to psychically send the
information to the receiver. The results from the experiment were negative, no
evidence of telepathy was observed.
The skeptical investigator Benjamin Radford has
noted that "Despite decades of research trying to prove telepathy, there
is no пустоmyth
scientific evidence that psychic powers exist, either in the general population
or among twins specifically. The idea that two people who shared their mother's
пустоforecasting — or even
who share the same пустоtelepathy — have a mysterious mental connection is an intriguing one not borne
out in science."
