After being presented with a list of 30 random words, Jennifer was asked to recall as many words as she could. In recalling the words, Jennifer remembered groups of related words, such as harp, flute, and piano. Jennifer's pattern of answers during recall demonstrates:

Clustering

Explanation:

In memory and psychology, clustering is a method to remember information in which the information is organized into similar groups (clusters). These groups are related so, when you try to recall the information, you can access it more easily from your long term memory since different items are related.

In this example, Jennifer was presented with a list of 30 random words, she was asked to recall as many words as she could. Jennifer recalled groups of related words such as harp, flute and piano. We can see that Jennifer grouped some words into similar groups or clusters (such as musical instruments) in order to remember them better since they would be related. Therefore, this pattern of answers during recall demonstrates clustering.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
