Recent research suggests that repetition priming (RP) for unfamiliar faces is highly view dependent and is eliminated when the viewpoint of target faces changes between study and test. The current research examined whether increased familiarity with novel faces from a single viewpoint at study would support RP from an alternative viewpoint at test.

1. Serial estimations of the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, with a standard single-breath technique, were used to assist the monitoring of disease activity in patients at risk from intrapulmonary haemorrhage. 2. A reversible rise in diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide per unit alveolar volume (DLCO/VA) of 50% or more above baseline values was detected on 61 occasions and in the diff...

This paper investigates whether some part of the preference reversal phenomenon can be attributed to errors in the responses of subjects in experiments. Such errors have been well documented in other investigations of behaviour in risky decision problems but their relevance to the preference reversal phenomenon has not been explored. Building on earlier work, we develop an extended error model ...
