results the data showed that vital signs and physical examination findings are useful screening parameters for predicting chest radiograph findings in outpatient settings. therefore, by implementing a prediction rule, we would be able to determine which patients would benefit from a chest x-ray (sensitivity, 94% and specificity, 57%). conclusion this study's findings suggest that requesting che...

Consistent with Allport's prediction, we expected to find greater context sensitivity in participants who perform a visual task in the presence of other people (i.e., in co-action) than in participants who perform the task in isolation.
