In a recent book (Lying and insincerity, Oxford University Press, 2018), Andreas Stokke argues that one lies iff says something believes to be false, thereby proposing it becomes common ground. This paper shows Stokke’s proposal is unable draw the right distinctions about insincere performative utterances. The objection also has repercussions on theories of assertion, because poses novel challe...

We compared the efficacy of tact-to-intraverbal (i.e., using picture prompts) and echoic-to-intraverbal transfer-of-stimulus-control procedures to establish intraverbal responding in 3 boys (4 years old) with autism. For all 3 participants, the picture prompts resulted in fewer trials to criterion, but both prompting tactics were eventually effective.

OBJECTIVE We evaluated ultrasonographic findings and the corresponding histopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients with Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 1 mammogram. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the ultrasonographic findings and the corresponding histopathological features of 45 breast cancer patients with BI-RADS category 1 mammogram and 537 ...

Earlier studies [1,2] suggested exponentially decaying memory trace with significantly higher lifetimes for the association cortex than the primary cortex, and little or no inter-hemispheric differences. In these studies only the peak MEG signal (where signal to noise ratio is largest) or peak strength of the equivalent current dipole was used to model the decay of the echoic memory and quantif...
