Researchers in the social and behavioural sciences often ask questions regarding the time-linked associations between two or more constructs at multiple assessments across time. Although their questions typically involve an interest in making within-subject inferences, the most commonly used analytic approach does not disaggregate between-from within-subject variations, resulting in a mismatch ...

The Bounds of Reason seeks to accomplish many things. It introduces epistemic game theory, discusses other-regarding preferences in games offers an evolutionary model of property rights, and proposes a plan to unify the behavioural sciences. Most notable, it is a plea for the importance of human nature and sociality for the determination of strategic behaviour on the one hand, and a defence of ...

In biostatistics and medical research, longitudinal data are often composed of repeated assessments a variable dichotomous indicators to mark an event interest. Consequently, joint modeling time-to-event has generated much interest in these disciplines over the previous decade. In behavioural sciences, too, we interested relating individual trajector...

To the Editor: The incidence of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) has been described in up to 30%270% after an injury to the right hemisphere. USN is one of the strongest predictors of poor functional recovery, which can lead to more prolonged hospitalization and disrupt rehabilitation and recovery of functional disabilities after stroke, thus limiting independence. However, USN is not usually a...

Visual neglect (VN) is a common consequence of right hemisphere (RH) stroke. The aims of this study were to explore the presence of VN after RH stroke in the patients with (T+) or without (T-) thrombolytic treatment, and to determine whether thrombolysis is a predictor of VN. The study group consisted of 77 RH infarct patients. VN was evaluated with six conventional subtests of the Behavioural ...

Unilateral visuo-spatial neglect is a neuropsychological syndrome commonly resulting from right hemisphere stroke at the temporo-parietal junction of the infero-posterior parietal cortex. Neglect is characterized by reduced awareness of stimuli presented on patients' contralesional side of space. Inspired by evidence of increased spatial exploration of patients' left side achieved during keyboa...
