Seeing slow and seeing fast: Two limits on perception
Holcombe, AlexPublished 2009-01-01Video cameras have a single temporal limit set by the frame rate. The human visual system has multiple temporal limits set by its various constituent mechanisms. These limits appear to form two groups. A fast group comprises ...Open AccessArticle -
Perceived treatment, feedback, and placebo effects in double-blind RCTs: An experimental analysis.
Colagiuri, Ben; Boakes, Robert APublished 2010-01-01In double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCT) of therapeutic interventions, the effects of the treatment may provide feedback that undermines blinding and consequently distorts measures of the effectiveness ...Open AccessArticle -
The arguments of associations
Harris, Justin APublished 2010-01-01This chapter considers associative solutions to “non‐linear” discrimination problems, such as negative patterning (A+ and B+ vs AB‐) and the biconditional discrimination (AB+ and CD+ vs AC‐ and BD‐). It is commonly assumed ...Open AccessBook chapter -
A systematic review of the quality, content and context of breakfast consumption
