Inferences about mental states.
Human social cognition relies on an ability to predict what others will think, feel or do in novel situations. Research in social neuroscience has consistently observed several brain regions that contribute ubiquitously to these abilities, including medial prefrontal cortex and aspects of lateral and medial parietal cortex. Interestingly, parallel work has suggested that this same network of re...

Yet both children and adults exhibit some remarkable limitations in reasoning about mental states. In this article, I outline some of the parallels between children’s and adults’ fallacies in reasoning about the mind and suggest that a fundamental bias in so...

One must know the sampling distribution of the estimator (the statistic used to estimate I shall use to stand for the statistic used to estimate ) to make full use of the estimator. The sampling distribution of a statistic is the distribution that would be obtained if you repeatedly drew samples of a specified size from a specified population and computed on each sample. In other wo...
