متن کاملGeneralizability in Research with Cognitively Impaired Individuals
Introduction A major challenge in designing technology for users with cognitive impairments is achieving generalizable results. By design, controlled experiments—the gold standard of evaluation in HCI research—remove individual differences through statistical means.

متن کاملImpaired decision-making under risk in individuals with alcohol dependence.
BACKGROUND Alcohol dependence is associated with poor decision-making under ambiguity, that is, when decisions are to be made in the absence of known probabilities of reward and loss. However, little is known regarding decisions made by individuals with alcohol dependence in the context of known probabilities (decision under risk). In this study, we investigated the relative contribution of the...
متن کاملImpaired visual decision-making in individuals with amblyopia.
This study examined the effects of amblyopia on perceptual decision-making processes to determine the consequences of visual deprivation on the development of higher level cortical networks outside of the visual cortex. A variant of the Eriksen flanker task was used to measure response time and accuracy for decisions made in the presence of response-selection conflict. Performance of adults wit...
