“…Rather, human behaviors, like many other natural processes, reveal fractal, power-law scaling (Brown & Liebovitch, 2010;West & Deering, 1995), including heart beats (Goldberger et al, 2002), posture (Blaszczyk & Klonowski 2001), gait (Hausdorff, Peng, Ladin, Wei & Goldberger, 1995), reaction time (Holden, 2002), speech (Kello, Anderson, Holden, & Van Orden, 2008), visual search (Aks, Zelinsky & Sprott, 2002), memory retrieval (Rhodes & Turvey, 2007), music (Brothers, 2007), and self-esteem (Delignières, Fortes, & Ninot, 2004). Like geometric fractals, these processes display self-similar, scale-invariant structure such that small-scale variation reveals the same pattern as large-scale variation (Mandelbrot, 1983).…”
