Obviously not ideal. But does that mean the entire concept of the self­driving car is not ____ pursuing?

No, it only means that at the ____ we did not yet have the tools we now possess to help enable vehicles to operate both autonomously and safely.

This once-­distant ____ now seems within our reach.

It is much the same ____ in medicine.

Two ____ ago, we were still taping bricks to accelerators.

Today, we are approaching the point where we can ____ to bring some appropriate technology to bear in ways that advance our understanding of patients as unique individuals.

In fact, many patients are already wearing devices that monitor their conditions in real time, which allows doctors to talk to their patients in a ____, refined, and feedback­driven way that was not even possible a decade ago.

We ____ to overrate the impact of new technologies in part because older technologies have become absorbed into the furniture of our lives, so as to be almost invisible.

____ the baby bottle.

Here is a simple implement that has transformed a fundamental ____ experience for vast numbers of infants and mothers, yet it finds no place in our histories of technology.

This ____ might be thought of as a classic time­shifting device, as it enables mothers to exercise more control over the timing of feeding.

It can ____ function to save time, as bottle feeding allows for someone else to substitute for the mother’s time.

Potentially, therefore, it has huge implications for the management of time in everyday life, yet it is entirely overlooked in ____ of high­speed society.

Process­addiction behaviors (workaholism, shopaholism, and the like) fall into this category as ____.

Mental imagery combined with power of suggestion was taken up as the premise of behavioral medicine to help people change negative ____ behaviors into positive ones.

Repeated use of images reinforces the desired ____ more strongly over time.

Emotion socialization — learning from other people about emotions and how to deal with them — starts ____ in life and plays a foundational role for emotion regulation development.

For example, their own responses to emotional situations serve as a role model for emotion regulation, increasing the likelihood that their children will show similar ____ in comparable situations.

Parental practices at times ____ their children are faced with emotional challenges also impact emotion regulation development.

Whereas direct soothing and directive guidance of what to do are beneficial for younger children, they may intrude on adolescents’ ____ striving.

In consequence, adolescents might pull away from, rather ____ turn toward, their parents in times of emotional crisis, unless parental practices are adjusted.

More suitable in adolescence is indirect ____ of autonomous emotion regulation, such as through interest in, as well as awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance of, adolescents’ emotional experiences, and being available when the adolescent wants to talk.

Dancers often ____ themselves to the limits of their physical capabilities.

The ____ “children’s film” implies ownership by children — their cinema — but films supposedly made for children have always been consumed by audiences of all ages, particularly in commercial cinemas.

The considerable crossover in audience composition for children’s films can be shown by the ____ that, in 2007, eleven Danish children’s and youth films attracted 59 per cent of theatrical admissions, and in 2014, German children’s films comprised seven out of the top twenty films at the national box office.

This phenomenon corresponds with a ____, international embrace of what is seemingly children’s culture among audiences of diverse ages.

The old prejudice that children’s film is some other realm, separate from (and forever subordinate to) a more ____ cinema for adults is not supported by the realities of consumption: children’s film is at the heart of contemporary popular culture.

When our curiosity leads to ____ novel, the resulting reward brings us a sense of pleasure.

A number of investigators have modeled how curiosity influences musical ____.

In the case of Beethoven, computer modeling focused on the thirty­two piano sonatas written after age thirteen revealed that the musical patterns found in all of Beethoven’s music decreased in later sonatas, while ____ patterns, including patterns that were unique to a particular sonata, increased.

In other words, Beethoven’s music became less predictable ____ time as his curiosity drove the exploration of new musical ideas.

Curiosity is a powerful driver of human ____.

Technologists are always on the lookout for ____ metrics.

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

But simple metrics can ____ us further away from the important goals we really care about, which may require complicated metrics or be extremely difficult, or perhaps impossible, to reduce to any measure.

And when we have imperfect or bad proxies, we can easily fall under the illusion that we are solving for a good end without ____ making genuine progress toward a worthy solution.

The problem of proxies results in technologists ____ substituting what is measurable for what is meaningful.

And the cultures that make the heaviest use of spices — think of the garlic and black pepper of Thai ____, the ginger and coriander of India, the chili peppers of Mexico — come from warmer climates, where bacterial spoilage is a bigger issue.

Our ____ human attention to flavor, in this case the flavor of spices, turns out to have arisen as a matter of life and death.

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

All phases of body development from embryo to adult 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 ____ previously built­in criteria.

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

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

Except in the immune system, cells and ____ of cells are not genetically selected during development, but rather, are positionally selected.

Those in the right place that make the right connections are stimulated, and those that ____ are eliminated.

This ____ is much like sculpting.

These ____ specify tasks of home care workers and the time and budget available to perform these tasks.

However, there are many lines of evidence to suggest that vagrancy can, on rare ____, dramatically alter the fate of populations, species or even whole ecosystems.

Despite being infrequent, these events can be extremely important when ____ at the timescales over which ecological and evolutionary processes unfold.

The ____ profound consequences of vagrancy relate to the establishment of new breeding sites, new migration routes and wintering locations.

Each of these can occur through ____ mechanisms, and at different frequencies, and they each have their own unique importance.

____ can be great, but it ought to be hard­-earned.

As a result, data collected in large data ____ become “data tombs” — data archives that are hardly visited.

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 ____ the tools to extract 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 to manually ____ knowledge into knowledge bases.

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

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

It’s untrue that teens can focus on two things at once — ____ 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 ____, but they are still, like everyone else, paying attention to one thing at a time, sequentially.
