The effect of divided attention on false memory depends on how memory is tested. [PDF]
In three experiments, we investigated the effects of divided attention on false memory, using the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants studied six DRM lists with full attention and six in one of two divided ...

The Role of Patch Testing in Evaluating Delayed Hypersensitivity Reactions to Medications
Confirming drug imputability is an important step in the management of cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR). Re-challenge is inconvenient and in many cases life threatening. We review the literature on ideal patch testing technique for specific CADRs.

Comparative scores of ABO and Rh hemagglutination reactions
Background: Blood group determination is done by the slide test and tube test. Grading/scoring of hemagglutination reactions is performed through the naked eye and microscopy to detect spurious (false positive and negative) reactions.
