(Miller‚ Carlson‚ & McCauley 2013) experimented on the effects auditory rhythms could have on the allocation of visual attention. The human body follows an internal clock or a circadian rhythm unconsciously and Miller‚ Carlson and McCauley (2013) tested if the internal clock could be entrained or synchronized with an asynchronous (single repetitive) tone while responding to stimuli on a computer screen.

Autumn and spring are my favorite seasons. Spring is the season between winter and summer. Autumn‚ or fall‚ is the season between summer and winter. Both seasons are beautiful.

And now‚ in the autumn‚ fruits of chestnuts fell from the trees and are spilled on the ground near them. Piles of fallen leaves are spread on the pavements. Only a few street sweepers pass by and remove the dry‚ autumn leaves. The red‚ yellow‚ orange and brown leaves crunch underfoot as I am walking‚ while the leaves falling from the trees are so light that they sidle

March 8‚ 2012 Autumn: A Beautiful Season Summer months are filled with the warmth of the sun‚ families going on vacations‚ swimming in cool lakes‚ and having barbeques with friends. Winter entices the inner child in us with the thought of ruthless snowball fights‚ sledding uncontrollably down steep hills‚ hitting the ski slopes‚ and building snowmen and snow angels.
