Percentage and verbal category measures of risk likelihood

Percentage and verbal category measures of risk likelihood

Perceptions of personal risk (i.e. risk likelihood) occupy a central role in theories of individual health behavior. There is no agreement, however, concerning the best approach for measuring these perceptions. We compared a percentage scale with a seven-point, verbally labeled scale. Data from college student subjects (N = 215) showed that the correlations between risk factors and risk likelih...

Category Discontinuity Interacts with Verbal Rule Complexity 1 Within-Category Discontinuity Interacts with Verbal Rule Complexity in Perceptual Category Learning

Two experiments were conducted that provide a test of the predicted interaction between within-category discontinuity and verbal rule complexity on the efficiency of the neurobiologically-motivated procedural-based and hypothesis-testing category learning systems, and by extension, on information-integration and rule-based category learning. In Experiment 1, within-category discontinuity advers...

Anthropometric Measures and the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease

Impaired verbal category learning in amnesia.

Amnesic patients and controls listened to verbal descriptions of imaginary animals and then classified novel descriptions according to whether they belonged to the studied category. Controls performed well, but the amnesic patients did not acquire categorical knowledge. These findings contrast with previous demonstrations of intact category learning by amnesic patients for dot patterns, artific...
