It’s Not About The Biceps

In the biomedical paradigm all symptoms and limitations are ascribed to discrete pathophysiology. However, abiopsychosocial health model that accounts for the important influence of mind-set and circumstances on illness maybe preferable in the vast majority of cases. Some of the shortcomings of the biomedical model include an overrelianceon tests and treatments. One major issue of the biomedica...

All words are not created equal: expectations about word length guide infant statistical learning.

Infants have been described as 'statistical learners' capable of extracting structure (such as words) from patterned input (such as language). Here, we investigated whether prior knowledge influences how infants track transitional probabilities in word segmentation tasks. Are infants biased by prior experience when engaging in sequential statistical learning? In a laboratory simulation of learn...

'Eating disorders are not about food, they're about life': Client perspectives on anorexia nervosa treatment.

Poor success rates and high levels of dropout are common features in the treatment of anorexia nervosa.

For Bayesian Wannabes, Are Disagreements Not About Information?

Consider two agents who want to be Bayesians with a common prior, but who cannot due to computational limitations. If these agents agree that their estimates are consistent with certain easy-to-compute consistency constraints, then they can agree to disagree about any random variable only if they also agree to disagree, to a similar degree and in a stronger sense, about an average error. Yet av...
