Implicit Memories01:24

Implicit Memories

160
Implicit memories, also known as non-declarative memories, are long-term memories that function outside of conscious awareness. These memories influence behavior and skills without explicit knowledge. This type of memory is evident in tasks like playing tennis, snowboarding, and texting. Implicit memory has three subsystems: procedural memory, conditioning, and priming. This type of memory is essential in various activities, from everyday tasks to specialized skills.
One key aspect of implicit...

Confounding in Epidemiological Studies01:27

Confounding in Epidemiological Studies

209
Confounding in statistical epidemiology represents a pivotal challenge, referring to the distortion in the perceived relationship between an exposure and an outcome due to the presence of a third variable, known as a confounder. This variable is associated with both the exposure and the outcome but is not a direct link in their causal chain. Its presence can lead to erroneous interpretations of the exposure's effect, either exaggerating or underestimating the true association. This...

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

132
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

Blind Procedures

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Bias01:22

Bias

4.3K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Cause and Effect01:53

Cause and Effect

11.0K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The feeling of control over actions, sense of agency (SoA), may not be linked to time perception changes. Previous findings on intentional binding and SoA might stem from experimental confounds, not a direct relationship.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Philosophy of Mind

Background:

  • Sense of agency (SoA) is the subjective experience of controlling one's actions and their consequences.
  • Previous research suggested SoA correlates with 'intentional binding,' a temporal compression between action and outcome.
  • Existing experimental designs often confound agency with action presence and perceptual changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between sense of agency and intentional binding.
  • To isolate the manipulation of subjective SoA from confounding variables like action presence.
  • To determine if intentional binding effects are a direct measure of SoA or a byproduct of experimental design.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel experimental paradigm to isolate SoA manipulation.
  • Conducted two experiments: one with confounds, one controlling for action presence and perceptual changes.
  • Used explicit ratings to confirm subjective manipulation of SoA.

Main Results:

  • Replicated typical intentional binding effects in an experiment with confounds.
  • Found no differences in intentional binding effects when confounds were removed and only SoA was manipulated.
  • Confirmed successful manipulation of subjective SoA through explicit ratings.

Conclusions:

  • The previously reported link between intentional binding and SoA may be an artifact of experimental confounds.
  • Temporal compression effects might arise from general mechanisms grouping related events, rather than specific SoA processing.
  • Re-evaluation of intentional binding as a sole indicator of SoA is warranted.
