Eyes wide apart : Overestimating interpupillary distance À
Our ability to perceive many aspects of the human face is so acute that some would propose that we possess specialised face-processing mechanisms. One example of this exquisite performance is our ability to discriminate differences in the lateral separation of the eyes in pairs of otherwise identical facesösee Kemp et al (1990, Perception 19 531 ^ 543). However, we have found that our ability t...

Typical cognitive aging is often defined as aging free of dementia, and yet it does not seem to exclude dementia-related pathology.

AD accounts for 60–80% of dementia...
متن کاملEstimation of glomerular filtration rate in hospitalised patients: are we overestimating renal function?
UNLABELLED QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY AND PRINCIPLES: Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in hospitalised patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important for drug prescription but it remains a difficult task. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of selected algorithms based on serum creatinine, cystatin C and beta-trace protein to estimate GFR and the potentia...
متن کاملOverestimating Overdiagnosis in Breast Cancer Screening
Overdiagnosis in breast cancer has been a focus of increasing concern with wide ranges of calculations made indirectly through the study of prospective randomized trials and analyses of large registries. While most admit that some degree of overdiagnosis is inherent with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the rate of overdiagnosis with invasive disease is highly controversial. Although it is gene...
متن کاملOverestimating Resource Value and Its Effects on Fighting Decisions
Much work in behavioral ecology has shown that animals fight over resources such as food, and that they make strategic decisions about when to engage in such fights. Here, we examine the evolution of one, heretofore unexamined, component of that strategic decision about whether to fight for a resource. We present the results of a computer simulation that examined the evolution of over- or under...
