Fig. 2. Analysis design. (A) Schematic of the trial-level phase synchrony extraction approach. (B) Schematic of dCPM. Edges that are significantly correlated with memory/arousal are selected. A linear model is then trained to predict memory/arousal on the left-out trial. This model is separately applied to all four study conditions (pill × emotionality) to yield four predictive networks. R, remembered.

"the average causal mediation effect of proportion of other-payoffs within-action transitions on the relation between CRT score and proportion of equilibrium responses is statistically significant (p = .002, based on 10000 bootstrap samples), accounting for an estimated 58 % of the total effect between CRT score and proportion of equilibrium responses (Table 4)."

"In order to explore the type of visual analysis performed by participants, transitions were divided in five major types (Figure 2), following the classification of Devetag and colleagues (2016): 1) own-payoffs within-action transitions: transitions between player’s own payoffs within a single row (necessary to identify the action with the highest average payoff). 2) own-payoffs between-action transitions: .... 3) other-payoffs within-action transitions: ... 4) other-payoffs between-action transitions: transitions between the counterpart’s payoffs within a single row (necessary to identify the presence of counterpart’s dominant choices). 5) intra-cell transitions: transitions between the payoffs of the two players, within the same cell (necessary to compare the two players’ payoffs given a specific combination of choices)."

"Nash equilibrium is a game solution in which none of the players has a self-interested incentive to deviate from its own strategy after considering the counterpart’s choice. In Experiment 1, we used a particular class of game called dominance-solvable. These games contain an option which is better than another one for a player, independently of the action the counterpart will take. We refer to this option as a dominant strategy.3 In Experiment 1, we used two classes of dominance-solvable games characterized by different equilibrium structures, creating sixteen 2x2 games for each class (for a full list of game matrices, see Figure A1 in section A.1, Appendices). The two classes of games (Figure 1) were: (1) dominance solvable “self” games (DSS), in which only the participant had a strictly dominant strategy; (2) dominance solvable “other” games (DSO), in which only the opponent had a strictly dominant strategy."

Experimental Argument Analysis, University of East Anglia. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/390977878 Abstract. Argument mapping is the practice of diagraming the logical relationships between each proposition in an argument, including objections and counter-objections. Some studies find that courses that teach students how to map arguments exhibit better critical thinking and persuasive writing than students in other courses. These promising results are sometimes from surveyors of argument mapping goods and services, and they garner plenty of attention in fields that champion careful thinking and communication. However, the total evidence is mixed, null results are often never published, and many promising studies have not controlled for known confounds.

Figure 2.

Figure 1. A modal neurocognitive model of episodic retrieval and systems consolidation. (A) When experiencing an event, a distributed pattern of activity occurs along neocortical processing pathways (pathways shown here are intentionally ‘generic’ but could map to ventral and dorsal visual pathways as well as other sensory processing pathways; e.g., auditory). These pathways converge on the hippocampus and are bound into a memory trace allowing for their retrieval later in time. At encoding, all neocortical representations are active, forming a new hippocampal memory trace. At retrieval, a subset of neocor- tical representations will be active, allowing for the retrieval of the hippocampal memory trace and subsequent reinstatement of the remaining neocortical representations. (B) Over time, connections between neocortical regions form, allowing for their retrieval without the involvement of the hippocampus. Blue lines indicate pre-existing connections/representations; yellow lines indicate newly formed connections/representations; grey lines indicate previously formed connections that have weakened.

"Ten studies are included in this updated review (7646 patients). ...overall there was no clear effect of intercessory prayer on death... (6 RCTs, n=6784, random-effects RR 0.77 CI 0.51 to 1.16, I(2) 83%). For general clinical state there was also no significant difference between groups (5 RCTs, n=2705, RR intermediate or bad outcome 0.98 CI 0.86 to 1.11). Four studies found no effect for re-admission to Coronary Care Unit (4 RCTs, n=2644, RR 1.00 CI 0.77 to 1.30). Two other trials found intercessory prayer had no effect on re-hospitalisation (2 RCTs, n=1155, RR 0.93 CI 0.71 to 1.22). ...although some of the results of individual studies suggest a positive effect of intercessory prayer, the majority do not and the evidence does not support a recommendation either in favour or against the use of intercessory prayer. We are not convinced that further trials of this intervention should be undertaken and prefer to see resources ...used to investigate other questions in health care."
