Dr Lentine has effectively presented an argument for weight loss prior to transplant and has included a balanced view with important caveats. It should be noted that there aremany points of agreement between our ‘polar views’. Most importantly, we agree that BMI is an imprecisemeasure of obesity and surgical risk and that a ‘one size fits all’ approach is not ideal. Our opinions diverge with respect to the relative importance applied to utility versus equity of organ distribution and whether weight loss is truly a modifiable risk factor.

Conflict and metacognitive control: the mismatch-monitoring hypothesis of how others' knowledge states affect recall.

Information about others' success in remembering is frequently available. For example, students taking an exam may assess its difficulty by monitoring when others turn in their exams. In two experiments, we investigated how rememberers use this information to guide recall. Participants studied paired associates, some semantically related (and thus easier to retrieve) and some unrelated (and thu...

Visual search differs but not reaction time when intercepting a 3D versus 2D videoed opponent.

The authors aimed to identify differences in (a) visual search and (b) reaction time when athletes sidestepped to intercept 2D versus 3D videoed opponents. They hypothesized that participants would (a) fixate on different parts of the opponent's body and (b) react quicker when responding to the 3D versus 2D opponent due to the added depth cues. A customized integrated stereoscopic system projec...

Reaction times and anticipatory skills of karate athletes.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the reaction times (RTs) and anticipation of karate athletes. In Experiment 1, choice RTs and simple RTs were measured with two types of stimuli. One was videotaped scenes of opponent's offensive actions, which simulated the athletes' view in real situations, and the other was static filled circles, or dots. In the choice RT task, participants were ...
