It then smothers the animal and eventually kills it. Climatic change: Coral can loose its colour or even die from a change in its climate such as a cyclone

the effect that task switching has on performance. Thirty eight students participated in this experiment. They were asked to complete both repeating and switching tasks. The 100 total tasks were fully randomized with 50 task repeating and 50 task switching. It was hypothesized that when a participant will be asked to switch a task over repeating one‚ he or she will be significantly slower in reacting. The collected data revealed that in fact‚ the reaction time for task switching trials was significantly
