A test of the reward-contrast hypothesis. [PDF]
Source memory, a facet of episodic memory, is the memory of the origin of information. Whereas source memory in rats is sustained for at least a week, spatial memory degraded after approximately a day. Different forgetting functions may suggest that two memory systems (source memory and spatial memory) are dissociated.

Anisotropic perception of slant from texture gradient: Size contrast hypothesis. [PDF]
When we see an optical pattern that has a gradient of the size and/or density of its texture elements, we often perceive a surface that is slanted in depth.

hypr: An R package for hypothesis-driven contrast coding [PDF]
The hypr package in R provides the researcher with a straightforward interface to generate contrast matrices from research hypotheses and the reverse. It can be used to derive contrast matrices for custom research hypotheses and as an instructional tool ...

The paradox of rapid and synchronized propagation of seasonal influenza ‘A’ outbreaks in contrast with COVID-19: a testable hypothesis [PDF]
Seasonal influenza A virus (SIAV) apparently exhibits a paradoxical pattern: despite a lower basic reproduction number (R₀) than SARS-CoV-2, it propagates across the Northern Hemisphere with remarkable speed and synchronicity.

A topological hypothesis for atrial fibrilllation, atrial flutter and focal atrial tachycardia: comparison and contrast with Kosterlitz-Thouless physics [PDF]
While the role of topology is established in active matter systems, its importance in cardiac electrophysiology, particularly concerning common arrhythmias, warrants further emphasis.

A test of the “;ceiling effect”; hypothesis of positive contrast [PDF]
Seventy-two rats were given 0, 5, 10, or 15 small rewarded trials prior to being shifted to large reward for the remainder of 45 trials. Each of the groups which experienced an upward shift in reward magnitude rapidly approximated the performance of a consistently large rewarded control group, and in no case was a positive contrast effect observed. The

The effects of declarative learning on early and late motor skill learning [PDF]
Motor skill learning and performance is driven by the interplay between declarative and nondeclarative systems, which can complement or interfere with one another depending on task demands.

Divide and Contrast: Self-supervised Learning from Uncurated Data [PDF]
Self-supervised learning holds promise in leveraging large amounts of unlabeled data, however much of its progress has thus far been limited to highly curated pre-training data such as ImageNet. We explore the effects of contrastive learning from larger,

Interleaved practice (i.e., exemplars from different categories are intermixed within blocks) has been shown to enhance induction performance compared to blocked practice (i.e., exemplars from the same category are presented sequentially).

Numerically probing the universal operator growth hypothesis. [PDF]
Recently, a hypothesis on the complexity growth of unitarily evolving operators was presented. This hypothesis states that in generic, nonintegrable many-body systems, the so-called Lanczos coefficients associated with an autocorrelation function grow ...
