Intuitive and reflective inferences
vs. argumentative contexts If our approach is right, reasoning should be more easily triggered in argumentative situations. We should therefore expect better performances on reasoning tasks where the participants are placed in such situations. Standard theories make no such prediction. If anything, argumentative contexts should increase the cognitive load since they involve taking into account ...
متن کاملInferences about time course of Weber’s Law violate statistical principles
Recently, Holmes et al. (2011b) suggested that grasping is only subject to Weber's Law at early but not late points of a grasping movement. They therefore conclude that distinct visual computations and information may guide early and late portions of grasping. Here, we argue that their results can be explained by an interesting statistical artifact, and cannot be considered indicative of the pr...
متن کاملStatistical inferences in phylogeography.
In conventional phylogeographic studies, historical demographic processes are elucidated from the geographical distribution of individuals represented on an inferred gene tree. However, the interpretation of gene trees in this context can be difficult as the same demographic/geographical process can randomly lead to multiple different genealogies. Likewise, the same gene trees can arise under d...
متن کاملMaking Correct Statistical Inferences
Large sample methods for estimating the variance of parameter estimates for hypothesistesting purposes (White, 1982) and statistical tests for model selection (Vuong, 1989) when the statistical model is wrong (i.e., misspeci ed) are reviewed. A parallel distributed processing (PDP) statistical model for analyzing categorical time series data is then proposed, and a theorem establishing when the...
متن کاملMaking Inferences about Parameters
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...
