Incremental diagnostic yield of consecutive sputum nucleic acid amplification tests for pulmonary tuberculosis [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
The incremental diagnostic yield of consecutive sputum nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is not well established. We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of one to three consecutive sputum NAATs in a non-high-

Restricted Access to Working Memory Does Not Prevent Cumulative Score Improvement in a Cultural Evolution Task

Entropy, 2022
Some theories propose that human cumulative culture is dependent on explicit, system-2, metacognitive processes. To test this, we investigated whether access to working memory is required for cumulative cultural evolution. We restricted access to adults’

Understanding cumulative cultural evolution [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016
In a narrow critique of two early papers in the literature on cumulative cultural evolution, Vaesen et al. (1) misunderstand the work they criticize, mischaracterize multiple lines of research, and selectively ignore much evidence. While largely recycling prior criticisms, they provide no new models, evidence, or explanations (2).
