Para-jumble (journal growth in neurophysiology): Reorder the sentences from pre-1960s scattering to post-1960s specialization, naming a key journal and its format.
S1 = "Since the sixties there has been an increasing interest in neurophysiology, which deals with the neural bases of mental activity and behaviour."
S6 = "So far the journal has published a mixture of articles including reports and investigations."
Between S1 and S6, arrange the history and examples:
P = "It has a format which is very similar to that of Brain and Language, a sister journal."
Q = "Since then, a number of journals devoted entirely to this area of research have appeared."
R = "Before the 1960's, when this field was the concern of a small number of investigators, research articles were scattered in various neurological journals."
S = "Brain and Cognition is one such journal."
Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.
Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: RQSP
Explanation:
Given data
R describes the pre-1960s state: scattered articles.
Q states that specialized journals appeared afterwards.
S names a representative journal: Brain and Cognition.
P adds its format similarity to Brain and Language.
Concept / Approach Chronology: before (R) → after proliferation (Q) → example journal (S) → specific format detail (P), smoothly leading to S6 about published content.
