Internal patterns in the PRL autoganzfeld database may shed some light on the plausibility of that hypothesis. This hypothesis would predict stronger effects for sessions where the subject is not sure about his ratings, because in those sessions the experimenter may be able to influence him or her into another direction. A secondary analysis where the scoring in sessions with an extreme rating ...

In a sequence of random variables, record values are observations that exceed or fall below the current extreme value.Now consider a sequence of pairwise random variables  {(Xi,Yi), i>=1}, when the experimenter is interested in studying just thesequence of records of the first component, the second component associated with a record value of the first one is termed the concomitant of that ...

Children (N = 64; 2 and 3 years of age) labeled another child’s emotion, based on either a prototypical facial expression or on a story about prototypical emotional events for 5 emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust). Proportion correct was low and improved only gradually with age. Children shown the faces produced more correct labels than did those told the stories. Initially,...

We describe the current state of a resource that enables research in the human sciences with differential access rights for experimenters and participants in experiments. We outline advantages and foibles of Internet-based research – problems and solutions in sampling, for example. The functionality of the system from the three user views is presented: administrator, experimenter and participan...

Four-year-olds were more accurate at learning causal structures from their own actions when they were allowed to act first and then observe an experimenter act, as opposed to observing first and then acting on the environment. Children who discovered the causal efficacy of events (as opposed to confirming the efficacy of events that they observed another discover) were also more accurate than c...

This paper studies lying. An agent randomly picks a number from a known distribution. She can then report any number and receive a monetary payoff based only on her report. The paper presents a model of lying costs that generates hypotheses regarding behavior. In an experiment, we find that the highest fraction of lies is from reporting the maximal outcome, but some participants do not make the...

Censoring is very common in life tests in the past several decades; the experimenter may be unable to obtain complete information on failure times of all experimental items. For this reason, Aggarwalla [1] suggested a useful type of censoring, namely, a progressively Type I interval censored data, which is a union of Type I interval and progressive censoring. This method of lifetime data collec...

In many life-testing and reliability studies, the experimenter might not always obtain complete information on failure times for all experimental units. Multiply Type-II censored sampling arises in a life-testing experiment whenever the experimenter does not observe the failure times of some units placed on a life-test. In this paper, we obtain estimators for the entropy function of a double ex...
