TL;DR: This paper found that pregnant women tend to withdraw from public places (for example, night clubs, bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes) and from public activities (such as sport, leisure, and paid employment) as their pregnancy progressed.
Abstract: This paper is based mainly on the stories of 31 women who were living in Hamilton, Aotearoa/New Zealand between 1992 and 1994 and were pregnant for the first time. The majority of these women claimed that they tended to withdraw from public places (for example, night clubs, bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes) and from public activities (for example, sport, leisure, and paid employment) as their pregnancy progressed. 1 argue that this withdrawal can, at least in part, be linked to a discourse that suggests pregnant women are ‘poverly’ emotional, irrational and frequently forget things. Their bodily and mental ‘difference’ is naturalised through discourse and used to disqualify them from stepping ‘objectively’ and ‘dispassionately’ into the public sphere and engaging in ‘public affairs’.

TL;DR: To get old does not mean that you forget things and that you cannot perform difficult intellectual tasks, but the older a person gets, the more the risk of getting a dementia disease increases.
Abstract: Alzheimer’s Disease is probably the most well known of the dementias, and together with a type of dementia caused by several small strokes in the brain, it covers most of the dementia cases. To get old does not mean that you forget things and that you cannot perform difficult intellectual tasks! Dementia is a disease and is not caused by age. But the older a person gets, the more the risk of getting a dementia disease increases. In Denmark 2% of the population suffers from dementia, and as the number of old people increases, this percentage is predicted to increase.

TL;DR: The legal system often asks jurors to perform impossible or highly difficult tasks as discussed by the authors, such as travel back in time or predict the future, and they may even be asked to forget things they already know or to function as human lie detectors.
Abstract: The legal system often asks jurors to perform impossible or highly difficult tasks. They may need to travel back in time or predict the future. They may be required to ignore the obvious, forget something they heard in court, and refrain from discussing the case with anyone. They may even be asked to forget things they already know or to function as human lie detectors. The system often expects them to be experts but forbids them from doing any research. And juries may sometimes have to function as judges. Jurors do their best under these difficult circumstances, but there are ways in which the system could make this burden easier to bear.
