False Alarms About False Memories
M. B. Miller and G. L. Wolford (1999) make two contributions. First, they add conditions to the basic Roediger-McDermott (1995) procedure and find that critical items are recalled and recognized more often if they are presented in the list than if they are not presented. These results agree with our own, which are briefly reviewed. Second, they apply signal detection theory to the paradigm and ...

متن کاملAnalysis of False Alarms during System Design
The problem of false alarms in electronic monitoring systems has grown over the last decade. This growth has been associated with increasing system complexity and advances in the state of the art. Studies have shown that some systems exhibit as many as 40% or more “false pulls,” and associated with the false-alarm problem, a large volume of wasted or ineffective maintenance actions exist. What ...
متن کاملHippocampal neurogenesis and volume in migrating and wintering semipalmated sandpipers (Calidris pusilla)
Long distance migratory birds find their way by sensing and integrating information from a large number of cues in their environment. These cues are essential to navigate over thousands of kilometers and reach the same breeding, stopover, and wintering sites every year. The semipalmated sandpiper (Calidris pusilla) is a long-distance migrant that breeds in the arctic tundra of Canada and Alaska...
متن کاملAlarms in the intensive care unit: how can the number of false alarms be reduced?
Many alarms, as they now exist in most monitoring systems, are not usually perceived as helpful by the medical staff because of the high incidence of false alarms. This paper gives an overview of the problems related to their current design and the objectives of monitoring. The current approaches used to improve the situation are then presented from two main standpoints: organizational and beha...
