In confidence theory, the decision maker relies on statistical regularities from the economic environment to adopt prior beliefs about the probabilities stated on a lottery. Following the confidence principle, by which the weight of the prior in Bayesian inference is proportional to the uncertainty related to its distribution, the decision maker ar...

Theories of causal learning in which people induce the strength, or structure, of causal relationships between variables abound (e.g., Cheng, 1997; Griffiths & Tenenbaum, 2004). However, observing correlations in data may do more than just influence one's causal beliefs. Suppose you like your causal explanations to be both sufficient (the alleged c...

Four experiments investigated the classic issue in semantic memory of whether people organize categorical information in hierarchies and use inference to retrieve information from them, as proposed by Collins & Quillian (1969). Past evidence has focused on RT to confirm sentences such as "All birds are animals" or "Canaries breathe." However, confo...

Background: Over the past 25 years, there has been growing recognition of the importance of studying the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) of genetic and genomic research. A large investment into ELSI research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Human Genomic Project budget in 1990 stimulated the growth of this emerging field;...

Background Primary health care sector in Serbia is under the jurisdiction of local level. The aim of this study is to explore the citizens’ priorities for Primary health care improvement. Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted in six randomly selected local communities. The quota sample was applied for each municipality, based on the lat...

The present experimental study was designed in order to determine (a) whether the human judgment of probability is calibrated, at least robustly, to estimate heavy-tailed probability distributions, and (b) to detect the prevalence of the characteristic types of probability distortion that occur in judgment. Seventy-seven participants learned two se...

Issue Serbia started the process of decentralization soon after the first phases of reforms were completed, as the integral part of the European integration process. The Law on Health Care has enabled decentralization in the primary health care sector, in order to strength the democratic governance and to improve administrative and service delive...

Cilj ovog rada je da prikaže najvažnija istraživanja i teorijska shvatanja vezana za verifikaciju predikativnih iskaza u kontekstu diskusije o strukturi i procesima pretrage semantič ke memorije. Detaljno je opisan metod semantič ke verifikacije i prikazan efekat svih važnijih varijabli koje su korišć ene u eksperimentalnim istraživanjima ovom meto...

U zadatku kategorizacije, ispitan je efekat promene eksperimentalnog konteksta na vreme kategorizacije pripadnika prirodnih kategorija. Na osnovu podataka iz produkcije tri stotine ispitanika izračunate su prosečne subjektivne veličine za 6 prirodnih kategorija (gradovi, reke, planine, sisari, insekti, ptice). Stotinu i deset ispitanika procenjival...

Predikativne iskaze koje koristimo kao stimuluse u zadatku semantičke verifikacije možemo opisati pomoć u dve varijable: kvaliteta iskaza i tipičnosti. Kvalitet iskaza određ en je u potpunosti kopulom, na osnovu koje razlikujemo afirmativne od negativnih iskaza. Tipič nost je varijabla koja, kvantitativno izražena, predstavlja stepen pripadnosti po...

Metodom semantičke verifikacije ispitan je uticaj tipič nosti i familijarnosti, varijabli koje utič u na intenzitet semantič ke veze izmeđ u klase (npr. sisar ) i pripadnika te klase (npr. jelen , lav ). Prethodno su dobijene norme produktivnosti za 6 kategorija pojmova (sisari, ptice, insekti, gradovi, reke, planine) i izrač unate proseč ne velič...

Empirijska istraživanja u kojima je korišćen zadatak verifkacije pokazuju da postoji razlika u vremenu verifkovanja različitih formi predikativnih iskaza (afirmativni istiniti, afirmativni neistiniti, negativni istiniti i negativni neistiniti). Sa formalno-logičkog stanovišta, međutim, ove forme predikativnih iskaza su ekvivalen-tne, što postavlja...
