Stimulus-dependent correlations and population codes.

29 Sep 2009 The magnitude of correlations between stimulus-driven responses of pairs of neurons can itself be stimulus dependent. We examine how this dependence affects the information carried by neural populations about the stimuli that drive them. ... Read more...

Sample selection and inductive generalization.

29 Jun 2009 In two experiments with adults (N = 126), we examined the influence of sampling procedure on inductive generalization. In predicate sampling, participants learned the category identity of individuals known to possess some property. In subject ... Read more...

Accounting for occurrences: an explanation for some novel tendencies in causal judgment from contingency information.

30 May 2009 Contingency information is information about empirical associations between possible causes and outcomes. In the present research, it is shown that, under some circumstances, there is a tendency for negative contingencies to lead to positive causal ... Read more...
