A reason to avoid SNAP judgments

A reason to avoid SNAP judgments

Secretory vesicles release their contents from the cell by fusing with the plasma membrane, a process catalyzed by SNARE proteins in the vesicle and plasma membranes. Kunii et al. now report that, although the SNARE protein SNAP23 promotes the release of secretory granules from pancreatic acinar cells, it inhibits the secretion of insulin containing granules from β cells. Moreover, the research...

SNAP judgments: A small N acceptability paradigm (SNAP) for linguistic acceptability judgments: Online Appendices

Reason to avoid triangular designs in nonmetric scaling.

Triangular designs analyzed by contemporary nonmetric scaling procedures can yield estimated scales that are nonlinearly related to the "true" scale values. In nonmetric unidimensional scaling, observers rate the "difference," "similarity," or "dissimilarity" of stimulus pairs, and a subtractive model is used to estimate scale values that will reproduce the rank order of the judgments. For exam...

Making SNAP Judgments: Rethinking the Spatial Representation of Number

Interactions between number and space, exemplified by the SNARC (Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes) effect, are often taken as evidence for a privileged spatial representation of number. Naturally, research on the spatial representation of number has typically focused on spatial tasks. But in order to make inferences about numerical cognition more generally, one must take care to ...
