Testing Whether and When Abstract Symmetric Patterns Produce Affective Responses
Symmetry has a central role in visual art, it is often linked to beauty, and observers can detect it efficiently in the lab. We studied what kind of fast and automatic responses are generated by visual presentation of symmetrical patterns. Specifically, we tested whether a brief presentation of novel symmetrical patterns engenders positive affect using a priming paradigm. The abstract patterns ...

In this paper we contribute to the general philosophical question as to whether empirical testing can ever prove a physical law. Problems that lead to this question arise under several contexts, and the matter has been addressed by the likes of Bayes and Laplace. After pointing out that a Bayesian approach is the proper way to address this problem, we show that the answ...

Less clear is whether the timing of a parent's alcohol-related consequences differentially predicts the adole...
متن کاملEvaluating residency programs by whether they produce good doctors.
Not all physician training programs are alike. Many physicians and non-physicians believe that graduates of some training programs deliver better care, although this intuition has not been tested. Residency programs provide physicians with in-depth specialty training (usually lasting 3-6 years). Can the quality of that training be judged by the downstream outcomes of patients treated by their g...
