I point out that Mack and Rock manipulated both expectation and attention and suggest that their results ('inattentional blindness') may have been caused by lack of expectation rather than lack of attention. This alternative reading of Mack and Rock's results is supported by other findings, which suggest that 'pure' manipulations of expectation produce 'blindness' whereas 'pure' manipulations o...

It has been observed experimentally that the mapping of global to detailed routing in conventional FPGA routing architecture (2D array) yields unpredictable results. In [8,10,13], a different class of FPGA structures called Greedy Routing Architectures (GRAs), where a locally optimal switch box routing can be extended to an optimal entire chip routing, were investigated. It was shown that GRAs ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the patterns of wheelchair use in terms of locations of use, whether wheelchair use in one location was related to wheelchair use in other locations, and factors associated with wheelchair use in different locations. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING Patients prescribed wheelchairs by clinicians at one of two teaching hospitals (one Veterans Affairs hospital ...

Some therapists, as well as other commentators, have suggested that memories of horrific trauma are buried in the subconscious by some special process, such as repression, and are later reliably recovered. We find that the evidence provided to support this claim is flawed. Where, then, might these memory reports come from? We discuss several research paradigms that have shown that various manip...
