Theory of Attribution I: Correspondent Inference Theory

607
Correspondent inference theory, proposed by Jones and Davis in 1965, seeks to explain how individuals infer stable personality traits from observed behaviors. It suggests that people attribute actions to underlying dispositions rather than external circumstances, particularly when the behavior appears intentional and socially significant.Voluntary Behavior and Dispositional AttributionAccording to this theory, individuals are more likely to attribute behavior to personal traits when it appears...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

8.9K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data

496
Statistical inference techniques, paramount in hypothesis testing, differentiate into two broad categories: parametric and nonparametric statistics.
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance,...

Design Example: Traverse Angle Computations

345
Traverse angle computations are a critical component of surveying, used to compute the internal angles within a closed traverse. A traverse consists of a series of connected lines forming a closed loop, often used for land boundary delineation or mapping. Calculating the internal angles ensures accuracy in the traverse geometry and is essential for checking survey data integrity.The process begins with known azimuths and bearings of the traverse sides. Internal angles at each vertex are...

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method

670
The alternative coordinate method, also known as the Shoelace Formula, is a technique for determining the area of a traverse using Cartesian coordinates. This method relies on the sequential arrangement of x and y coordinates for each point of the shape, ensuring accuracy and ease of application.In this approach, each corner's x and y coordinates are listed as fractions, with the x-coordinate as the numerator and the y-coordinate as the denominator. These coordinates are arranged sequentially...

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Area of Science:

  • Computational neuroscience
  • Bayesian inference
  • Neuropsychology

Background:

  • Computational theories are increasingly influential in neuroscience, particularly for formalizing psychiatric research.
  • Bayesian frameworks offer a powerful lens for understanding brain function as inferential processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a narrative review of computational research in neuropsychological syndromes, focusing on Bayesian approaches.
  • To explore how Bayesian frameworks can explain neuropsychological deficits as aberrant inferences.
  • To introduce the concept of computational phenotyping through Bayes optimal pathology.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing computational research that employs Bayesian frameworks in neuropsychology.
  • Discussing theoretical constructs of Bayesian inference in perception and action.
  • Illustrating the application of Bayesian approaches using examples like visual neglect, hallucinations, and autism.

Main Results:

  • Neuropsychological deficits can be conceptualized as "false inferences" arising from "aberrant prior beliefs" that do not fit the real world.
  • The concept of "Bayes optimal pathology" suggests that disorders can be characterized by the prior beliefs that render a patient's inference optimal.
  • Bayesian approaches provide a framework for linking brain anatomy to computation and understanding the biological basis of neuropsychological conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Computational neuropsychology, particularly using Bayesian frameworks, offers a formal approach to understanding brain function and dysfunction.
  • This framework facilitates computational phenotyping, allowing for a more precise characterization of neuropsychological disorders.
  • Bayesian models illuminate the relationship between biological structures, computational processes, and the manifestation of neuropsychological syndromes.
