More is better: Relative prevalence of multiple targets affects search accuracy.
In real-world searches such as airport baggage screening and radiological examinations, miss errors can be life threatening. Misses increase for additional targets after detecting an initial target, termed "subsequent search misses" (SSMs), and also when targets are more often absent than present, termed the low-prevalence effect. Real-world search tasks often contain more than one target, but ...
متن کاملActive search for multiple targets is inefficient
This study examines saccade strategy in a novel task where observers actively search a display to find multiple targets in a limited time. Theory predicts that the relative merit of different saccade strategies depends on the prior probability of the target at a location: when the target prior is low and multiple-target trials are rare, making a saccade to the most likely target location is clo...
متن کاملOxygen – less is better , more is better ? ?
Altitude training has been employed as a tool for enhancing performance by athletes since the 1964 Mexico Olympics. The cost and impracticality of going to altitude regularly has led to the development of altitude simulation at sea level by creating low oxygen (‘hypoxia’) environments. ‘Altitude’ or ‘hypoxic’ training facilities are now springing up all around the country. The evidence supporti...

(See the article by El Sahly et al, on pages 703–12.) Influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality with an estimated 36 000 attributable deaths in the United States annually [1]. Human immunodefi-ciency virus (HIV) infection, specifically , advanced disease (CD4 count ,200 cells/lL), has been associated with excess morbidity and mortality [2]. With the use of combination antiretroviral ...
متن کاملIs More Entrepreneurship better?
We develop a new perspective on the boundary of the firm that is consistent with the empirical observation that the share of entrepreneurs first decreases and then increases in the course of economic development. Existing theory based on transaction costs (Coase, 1937, and subsequent literature) is difficult to relate to these well-established dynamics. Our approach focuses on changing incentiv...
