Stylometry is usually concerned with finding an authorial invariant, and attempts at authorship identification often model authors based on topics, putting weight on consciously selected content words and their unconsciously controlled frequency. This paper presents two uses of stylometry that rely on factors beyond the control of the author: document dating to a given historical period by dete...

Whether insights arise consciously or unconsciously, and whether they arise suddenly or gradually, has been the subject of much speculation but little empirical research. Problem solving on the inversion problem presented an unusual opportunity to circumvent the methodological obstacles that have limited progress on these issues. This paper presents both empirical research on how children gener...

In this essay, the author focuses on an underlying theoretical issue which she believes seriously affects our collective response to the idea of group rights in the genetic-control context. That issue is to what extent are our responses to claims of group rights hampered by our bringing to the table (consciously or unconsciously) a model which is structured to acknowledge only individual concer...

Few phenomena in medicine are more confounding than the diagnoses involving deception: malingering, Munchausen syndrome, Munchausen by proxy (MBP), and factitious disorder (Table 1). Physicians rely on patient reports of symptoms as a starting point for evaluation and treatment planning. They expect to be able to trust their patients' reports. When they are misled, deliberately or inadvertently...

Emotional stimuli can be processed even when participants perceive them without conscious awareness, but the extent to which unconsciously processed emotional stimuli influence implicit memory after short and long delays is not fully understood. We addressed this issue by measuring a subliminal affective priming effect in Experiment 1 and a long-term priming effect in Experiment 2. In Experimen...

"If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children; and if they will grow up in their natural innocence, we won't have to struggle; we won't have to pass fruitless idle resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all that peace and love for which consciously or unconsciously the...

INTRODUCTION The prevention of discomfort is of paramount importance to an individual sitting in a chair. However, it is often difficult for researchers to relate discomfort to specific biomechanical variables [1]. Recently, there has been some interest in the use of dynamic pressure distribution data as a measure of discomfort [2]. This work is based on the hypothesis that the in chair movemen...

Título: ¿Cómo cambian los estudiantes de pensamientos relacionados con la tarea a pensamientos no relacionados? Resumen: Aunque un creciente número de investigaciones psicológicas demuestran que los procesos de pensamiento inconsciente de los estudiantes pueden estar relacionados con las tareas, la investigación educativa todavía tiene que proporcionar evidencia empírica para esta relación en u...

Abstract I examine some behavioural and heuristic models of individual decision-making argue that the diverse psychological mechanisms these posit are too demanding to be implemented, either consciously or unconsciously, by actual decision makers. Accordingly, contrary what their advocates typically claim, best understood as ‘as-if’ models. then sketch a version scientific antirealism justifies...

Studies reveal that when people are exposed to emotional facial expressions, they spontaneously react with distinct facial electromyographic (EMG) reactions in emotion-relevant facial muscles. These reactions reflect, in part, a tendency to mimic the facial stimuli. We investigated whether corresponding facial reactions can be elicited when people are unconsciously exposed to happy and angry fa...
