False belief in infancy: a fresh look.
Can infants appreciate that others have false beliefs? Do they have a theory of mind? In this article I provide a detailed review of more than 20 experiments that have addressed these questions, and offered an affirmative answer, using nonverbal 'violation of expectation' and 'anticipatory looking' procedures. Although many of these experiments are both elegant and ingenious, I argue that their...
متن کاملBelief functions on real numbers
We generalize the TBM (transferable belief model) to the case where the frame of discernment is the extended set of real numbersR = [−∞,∞], under the assumptions that ‘masses’ can only be given to intervals. Masses become densities, belief functions, plausibility functions and commonality functions become integrals of these densities and pignistic probabilities become pignistic densities. The m...
متن کاملBivariate p-boxes and Maxitive Functions
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a maxitive function to be the upper probability of a bivariate p-box, in terms of its associated possibility distribution and its focal sets. This allows us to derive conditions in terms of the lower and upper distribution functions of the bivariate p-box. In particular, we prove that only bivariate p-boxes with a non-informative lower or upper di...
متن کاملA fresh look at preoperative body washing
National guidelines do not support preoperative body washing to reduce surgical site infections, instead recommending bathing or showering with soap. Yet preoperative body washing continues to be widely used in many hospitals across Europe. This paper suggests that existing trials of preoperative body washing, upon which guidelines are based, are dated and proposes a new investigation of preope...
متن کاملA Fresh Look at Vocabulary Spurts
There is currently rather little agreement about the existence of, and explanation for, a vocabulary spurt in children during the second year. Here we apply a Functional Data Analysisbased technique called Automatic Maxima Detection to the problem of finding vocabulary spurts in a sample of 20 children. Even with considerable smoothing of the data, children were found to exhibit multiple vocabu...
