KembaraXtra-Psychology - atmosphere hypothesis
The atmosphere hypothesis proposes that mistakes in judging syllogistic validity can occur because people are biased to accept conclusions that reuse the same quantifiers or logical terms found in the premises. A classic example is the invalid syllogism: “Some professors are logicians; Some logicians are absent-minded; Therefore, some professors are absent-minded,” which is often wrongly accepted because its form is repeated and the conclusion seems believable. It is compared with the belief-bias effect and the conversion hypothesis.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - atomoxetine
Atomoxetine is a drug used to treat ADHD, developed by Eli Lilly and first marketed in January 2003; it is given as atomoxetine hydrochloride and is sometimes preferred over methylphenidate (Ritalin) due to generally milder side effects, because it is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor rather than a stimulant, and because it is suitable for adults as well as children. It was formerly called tomoxetine, is commonly known by the trademark Strattera, and has the formula C₁₇H₂₁NO.
