Recall that this three-way interaction between congruency, alignment, and expertise that is predicted by the holistic processing hypothesis (and was not significant in Experiment 1).
In Experiment 2, we measured holistic processing for inverted fingerprints to test if inversion could affect holistic processing and found that the interaction between congruency, alignment, and expertise was stronger than what was observed with upright fingerprints.
Novices may also show some evidence for holistic processing as evidenced by the slight non-parallelism in the right panels of Fig. 2, which may be sufficient to reduce the congruency by alignment by expertise interaction to trend level.
However, given a lack of significant three-way interaction between congruency, alignment, and expertise, the significant two-way interaction between congruency and alignment for experts and the lack of thereof for novices should not be viewed as compelling evidence for differences in holistic processing due to expertise in upright fingerprints.
While this is consistent with the holistic processing hypothesis, combining across both upright and inverted fingerprints, the congruency by alignment by expertise three-way interaction was only of trend-level significance (F 1,53 = 3.974, MSE = 1.110, p = 0.051, η p 2 = 0.070), which can be interpreted as weak support for holistic processing as a function of expertise.
A repeated-measures, mixed-factor 2 (congruency: congruent, incongruent) × 2 (alignment: aligned, misaligned) × 2 (expertise: expert, novice) analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed for experiment 1.
The repeated-measures, mixed-factor 2 (congruency: congruent, incongruent) × 2 (alignment: aligned, misaligned) × 2 (expertise: expert, novice) ANOVA confirmed this result.
Whether it's through MIT's e-learning opportunities to refugees around the world; Admir Masic's Refugee Action Certificate Program; or MIT's incubators for refugee innovators; we believe there is mission & expertise alignment that warrants collaboration.
Successful incubators require planning, focus, alignment of practice expertise with technical focus, organizational skills, and access to consumers to solve material, clearly-defined challenges.
The decision-making process behind initiating specific CSR activities varied across the included firms but was often determined by the presence of existing in-country networks, cooperative local government, alignment with company expertise, and the ability to make health impact in an area that was not over-saturated they could meaningfully contribute to.
In 2011 alone, eBay transacted $5 billion through mobile devices and 60percentt of mobile purchases came from outside the U.S. We quickly realized this remarkable shared strategy and alignment of need and expertise between our two organizations.
