From figures to facts: data quality managers emerge as knowledge leaders.

It is no surprise that data quality managers are being recognized as knowledge leaders--they turn patient care data into valuable information for research, quality reviews, and planning. This article explores how this position is emerging in the HIM ...

Neural correlates of artificial grammar learning.

Artificial grammar learning (AGL) is a form of nondeclarative memory that involves the nonconscious acquisition of abstract rules. While data from amnesic patients indicate that AGL does not depend on the medial temporal lobe, the neural basis of this ...

A functional-analytic model of analogy: a relational frame analysis.

The aim of this study was to explore a behavior-analytic model of analogical reasoning, defined as the discrimination of formal similarity via equivalence-equivalence responding. In Experiment 1, adult humans were trained and tested for the formation of ...

The prehistory of discovery: precursors of representational change in solving gear system problems.

Microgenetic research has identified 2 different types of processes that produce representational change: theory revision and redescription. Both processes have been implicated as important sources of developmental change, but their relative status ...

Visuospatial abilities of chess players.

The extent to which the acquisition of expertise in knowledge-rich domains, such as chess, can be influenced by general individual characteristics, such as intelligence, has remained unclear. Some previous studies with children have documented ...

Conditional reasoning and the Tower of Hanoi: the role of spatial and verbal working memory.

This paper reports a study that investigated the relationships between verbal and spatial measures of working memory capacity and performance on the Tower of Hanoi and a conditional reasoning task. Four working memory measures were included, a simple ...

Judgments under uncertainty: representativeness or potential surprise?

Tversky and Kahnemans (1983) account of conjunctive probability judgment in terms of the representativeness heuristic is questioned. Instead, potential surprise (Shackle, 1969) is proposed as an important mechanism underlying subjective probability ...

Stability of individual differences in cellular immune responses to two different laboratory tasks.

To explore the stability of immune reactivity across laboratory tasks, we correlated enumerative and functional lymphocyte responses to a speech task and a mental arithmetic task, delivered on the same occasion of testing in 31 healthy undergraduates. ...
