...human face. From brain-imaging studies we also know that the brain has some sort of visual buffer that continues to represent objects after they have been removed--a lingering perception rather than conceptual understanding. So when babies encounter novel or unexpected events, Sirois explains, "there's a mismatch between the buffer and the information they're getting at that moment. And what you do when you've got a mismatch is you try to clear the buffer. And that takes attention." So learning, says Sirois, is essentially the laborious business of resolving mismatches. "The thing...
...month ago, a glance at the records would have appeared to show the Harvard men’s basketball team’s Ivy League opener at Dartmouth to be a major mismatch. A month can make a big difference. With the Crimson’s 87-79 win at Long Island on December 10, it improved to 6-3 on the season. By contrast, at that time, the Big Green had lost its first six games of the season. Since then, Harvard has had some good games, but closed the non-conference season with three straight losses...
THIS REGIONAL FINAL OF THE NCAA men's basketball tournament looked like a classic mismatch. The University of Connecticut featured four future NBA first-round draft picks. And George Mason--a suburban commuter school in Fairfax, Va.--looked like nothing much until its torrid shooting and scrappy defense gave it an 86-84 overtime upset of the Huskies, sending a school from a nonmajor conference to the Final Four for the first time in 27 years...
...racked up 12 rejections in 2006. For comparison, Daniels has two. But this is not even the most glaring difference between the two players: While Cusworth scores a team-high 17.2 points per game, Daniels is lagging far behind with an average of 3.8. In addition to this frontcourt mismatch, the Crimson has one other thing going for it: freshman Jeremy Lin. In last year’s matchup with the Raiders, then-freshman guard Drew Housman exploded for a season-best 21 points. 15 of those came in the second frame. Lin has shown a similar ability to perform...
...sacks, it’s pretty clear that something isn’t right with the protection, and rest assured that I will ask you about it. You answer should (in theory) tell me whether it was an issue with game planning, or a physical mismatch, or a mistake in execution on a particular play.In fact, that’s the reason we ask these questions. Because we’re writers, and aren’t with you for game planning and drawing fronts and coverages and zone blitzes, we need to know these things to accurately assess...
