Article history: Received 17 March 2014 Received in revised form 5 May 2014 Accepted 8 May 2014 Available online xxxx In this invited response, we first note that contrary to the claims of Haier and colleagues, they were not part of the review process for the article Fractionating Human Intelligence. We then expand on the rationale underlying the primary objective of the study, to determine whe...

In this paper, I show that we should understand the direction of fit of beliefs and desires in normative terms. After rehearsing a standard objection to Smith’s analysis of direction of fit, I raise a similar problem for Humberstone’s analysis. I go on to offer my own account, according to which the difference between beliefs and desires is determined by the normative relations such states stan...

Duncan Pritchard (et al. 2010, 2012a, 2012b) has recently shifted his view from an account that primarily understands knowledge in terms of the safety principle (a view mainly developed in his 2005 monograph on epistemic luck) to an ‘impure’ variety of virtue epistemology, which combines the safety principle with a weakened virtue-theoretic condition, a view that he calls anti-luck virtue epist...

Dust mites are a medically important group of animals commonly found in carpets and mattresses in houses. Antigens in their feces cause allergic reactions such as asthma and contact dermatitis. Dust samples were vacuum-collected in a special collecting bag from a one square meter area of living room floors of 100 randomly sampled houses in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines for one minute. Chromato...

A controversial area in covariance structure models is the assessment of overall model fit. Researchers have expressed concern over the influence of sample size on measures of fit. Many contradictory claims have been made regarding which fit statistics are affected by N. Part of the confusion is due to there being two types of sample size effects that are confounded. The first is whether N dire...

We explore the idea that judgment by representativeness reflects workings of memory. In our model, probability a hypothesis conditional on data increases in ease with which instances are retrieved when cued data. Retrieval is driven measure similarity exhibits contextual interference: data/cue less likely to retrieve occurs frequently other As result, assessments context dependent. new laborato...
