A number of investigators have modeled how curiosity influences musical ____

Technologists are always on ____ lookout for quantifiable metrics.

Measurable inputs to a model are their lifeblood, and like a social scientist, a technologist needs to identify ____ measures, or “proxies,” for assessing progress.

____ of the human body from a single cell provides many examples of the structural richness that is possible when the repeated production of random variation is combined with nonrandom selection.

All phases of body development from embryo to ____ exhibit random activities at the cellular level, and body formation depends on the new possibilities generated by these activities coupled with selection of those outcomes that satisfy previously built­in criteria.

Always new structure is based on old structure, and at ____ stage selection favors some cells and eliminates others.

The survivors serve to produce new cells that undergo ____ rounds of selection.

Important decisions are often made based not on the information–rich data stored in data repositories but rather on a decision maker’s instinct, simply because the decision maker does not have the tools to ____ the valuable knowledge hidden in the vast amounts of data.

Efforts have been made to develop expert system and knowledge­based technologies, which typically rely on users or domain experts ____ manually input knowledge into knowledge bases.

However, this procedure is likely to cause biases and errors and is extremely costly and time ____

The widening gap between data and information calls for the systematic development of tools that can turn data tombs into “golden nuggets” of ____

It’s untrue that teens can focus on two ____ at once — what they’re doing is shifting their attention from one task to another.

In this digital age, teens wire their brains to make these shifts very quickly, but they are still, like everyone else, paying attention to one ____ at a time, sequentially.
