Individuals Who Believe in the Paranormal Expose Themselves to Biased Information and Develop More Causal Illusions than Nonbelievers in the Laboratory. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In the reasoning literature, paranormal beliefs have been proposed to be linked to two related phenomena: a biased perception of causality and a biased information-sampling strategy (believers tend to test fewer hypotheses and prefer confirmatory ...

Dynamic causal modeling of touch-evoked potentials in the rubber hand illusion [PDF]

NeuroImage, 2016
The neural substrate of bodily ownership can be disclosed by the rubber hand illusion (RHI); namely, the illusory self-attribution of an artificial hand that is induced by synchronous tactile stimulation of the subject's hand that is hidden from view. Previous studies have pointed to the premotor cortex (PMC) as a pivotal area in such illusions.

Rechtsgeschichte – Geschichte der Evolution eines sozialen Systems [PDF]

Rechtsgeschichte - Legal History, 2002
1. Historiography is about the observation of changes. Even in a history of the moment, there has to be a before and an after. There is no history without event, without the difference perceived and described as "time".

Exploring Causal Influences [PDF]

, 2005
Recent data mining techniques exploit patterns of statistical independence in multivariate data to make conjectures about cause/effect relationships. These relationships can be used to construct causal graphs, which are sometimes represented by weighted ...

The Search for Invariance: Repeated Positive Testing Serves the Goals of Causal Learning [PDF]

, 2020
Positive testing is characteristic of exploratory behavior, yet it seems to be at odds with the aim of information seeking. After all, repeated demonstrations of one’s current hypothesis often produce the same evidence and fail to distinguish it from ...

Causal Unity of Broader Traits is an Illusion [PDF]

European Journal of Personality, 2016
Mõttus alerts us to the widespread predictive heterogeneity of different indicators of the same trait. This heterogeneity violates the assumption that traits have causal unity in their developmental antecedents and effects on outcomes. I would go a step further: broader traits are useful units for description and prediction but not for explaining ...

"Cutaneous rabbit" hops toward a light: Unimodal and cross-modal causality on the skin

Frontiers in Psychology, 2012
Our somatosensory system deals with not only spatial but also temporal imprecision, resulting in characteristic spatiotemporal illusions. Repeated rapid stimulation at the wrist, then near the elbow, can create the illusion of touch at intervening ...

Positive and negative implications of the causal illusion

Consciousness and Cognition, 2017
The human cognitive system is fine-tuned to detect patterns in the environment with the aim of predicting important outcomes and, eventually, to optimize behavior. Built under the logic of the least-costly mistake, this system has evolved biases to not overlook any meaningful pattern, even if this means that some false alarms will occur, as in the case

Buddhisme og Singhalesisk folkereligion

Religionsvidenskabeligt Tidsskrift, 1985
The symbolic relationship between the monk (bikkhu) and the lay Singhalese (dāyaka) is analysed and discussed as complementary ways of perceiving the image of Buddha and the Truth taught by Buddha.
