Commentary on Professor Austin Bradford Hill's Alfred Watson Memorial Lecture
1Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology & Informatics, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Abstract:
As availability of health care data for research opens up new frontiers in medical statistics, keeping a focus on the science behind the data is more important than ever to promote sound research and protect the validity of research results. Though the electronic databases currently amassed for research far exceed in scale and scope the observational research Professor Hill likely conceived of, his guidance to statisticians to ground our work in the biological and medical processes behind the data remains salient across the decades.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
