Measuring discriminability when there are multiple sources of bias.

30 Jan 2009 Performance measures such as log d and d' aim to measure stimulus discriminability independently of response bias in conditional discrimination tasks, including the yes/no signal-detection procedure. However, they assume only one dimension of bias ... Read more...

Detection of interactions between a dichotomous moderator and a continuous predictor in moderated multiple regression with heterogeneous error variance.

30 Jan 2009 Moderated multiple regression (MMR) has been widely used to investigate the interaction or moderating effects of a categorical moderator across a variety of subdisciplines in the behavioral and social sciences. In view of the frequent violation of ... Read more...

Chimpanzees solve the trap problem when the confound of tool-use is removed.

30 Dec 2008 The trap-tube problem is difficult for chimpanzees to solve; in several studies only 1 to 2 subjects learn the solution. The authors tested eight chimpanzees on a non-tool-using version of the problem to investigate whether the inclusion of a tool ... Read more...
