Sensitivity to Complex Statistical Regularities in Rat Auditory Cortex
Neurons in auditory cortex are sensitive to the probability of stimuli: responses to rare stimuli tend to be stronger than responses to common ones. Here, intra- and extracellular recordings from the auditory cortex of halothane-anesthetized rats revealed the existence of a finer sensitivity to the structure of sound sequences. Using oddball sequences in which the order of stimulus presentation...
متن کاملFinding and Understanding Government Statistical Information
There are many challenges to successful digital government operations, but serving large, diverse populations of people is one of the foremost. This is doubly difficult for information that is highly codified such as statistical data. Such data are important for citizen decision making, but low levels of numerical literacy limit widespread application and government statistical services aim to ...
متن کاملSensitivity to statistical regularities: People (largely) follow Benford’s law
Recent decision making research has emphasized people’s sensitivity to statistical relationships in the environment. A little-known relationship is Benford’s law, that the first digits of numbers representing many natural and human phenomena have a logarithmic distribution (Benford, 1938). Benford’s law is being used to help detect fraudulent financial data, but this assumes that people will no...
متن کاملFine-grained sensitivity to statistical information in adult word learning.
A language learner trying to acquire a new word must often sift through many potential relations between particular words and their possible meanings. In principle, statistical information about the distribution of those mappings could serve as one important source of data, but little is known about whether learners can in fact track multiple word-referent mappings, and, if they do, the precisi...
متن کاملPotential Statistical Evidence in Experiments and Renyi Information
Recently Habibi et al. (2006) defined a pre-experimental criterion for the potential strength of evidence provided by an experiment, based on Kullback-Leibler distance. In this paper, we investigate the potential statistical evidence in an experiment in terms of Renyi distance and compare the potential statistical evidence in lower (upper) record values with that in the same number of ii...
