  2. Incubation (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubation_(psychology)

    When discussing the relation between incubation effect, emotions, and creativity, researchers found that positive mood enhances creativity at work. That means that a given day's creativity would be expected to follow reliably from the previous day's mood, above and beyond any carry-over of that previous day's mood.

  3. Incubation period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubation_period

    Incubation period (also known as the latent period or latency period) is the time elapsed between exposure to a pathogenic organism, a chemical, or radiation, and when symptoms and signs are first apparent. [1]

  4. Hook effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_effect

    The hook effect refers to the prozone phenomenon, also known as antibody excess, or the postzone phenomenon, also known as antigen excess. It is an immunologic phenomenon whereby the effectiveness of antibodies to form immune complexes can be impaired when concentrations of an antibody or an antigen are very high.

  6. Temperature-dependent sex determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature-dependent_sex...

    Some reptiles use incubation temperatures to determine sex. In some species, this follows the pattern that eggs in extremely high or low temperatures become female and eggs in medium temperatures become male. [14] Within the mechanism, two distinct patterns have been discovered and named Pattern I and Pattern II.

  7. Latent period (epidemiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_period_(epidemiology)

    The incubation period is important in the dynamics of disease transmission because it determines the time of case detection relative to the time of infection. [1] This helps in the evaluation of the outcomes of control measures based on symptomatic surveillance. The incubation period is also useful to count the number of infected people. [1]

  8. Egg incubation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_incubation

    Egg incubation is done under favorable environmental conditions, possibly by brooding and hatching the egg. Multiple and various factors are vital to the incubation of various species of animal. In many species of reptile for example, no fixed temperature is necessary, but the actual temperature determines the sex ratio of the offspring.

  9. Frequency illusion - Wikipedia

    Based on this effect, the sum of the latter would be larger than the former. The split-category effect could be causing frequency illusion in people – after subcategorizing an object, phrase, or idea, they might be likelier to notice these subcategories, leading them to believe the main category's frequency of occurrence has increased.
