To investigate the effects of familiarity on the parametric modulation of the canonical hemodynamic response function (HRF), a parametric regressor modelling familiarity was constructed, based on the familiarity judgments for each melody excerpt.
Therefore, after screening about 20% of the targeted patients (n=107), the protocol was changed to manual drawing of five spirals with each hand to reduce administration time to less than 5 min. Spirals were scored by the nurses as normal (score 0) and abnormal (score 1 4), based on the familiarity with multiple examples of normal spirals.
Cats will sniff a person's face to confirm her identity based on the familiarity of the smell.
These data confirm previous reports that the mPFC is not required for discriminations based on the relative familiarity of individual objects.
These studies have demonstrated that neural plasticity within the perirhinal cortex is necessary for discriminations based on the relative familiarity of objects (e.g., Aggleton, Keen, Warburton, & Bussey, 1997; Bussey, Muir, & Aggleton, 1999; Brown & Aggleton, 2001) as well as processing the relative recency of encountered stimuli (e.g., Barker, Bird, Alexander, & Warburton, 2007).
Artists from performance and live art disciplines create the works, which are based on the concepts of familiarity and the everyday: contexts in which to make and experience art.
Once you get the stamped drawings approved, you may see your contractor change the architect's painstaking designs based on the contractor's familiarity with the house's wiring, plumbing and other inner workings, said Gideon Danziger, a contractor in Manhattan.
Each approach requires the use of unique surgical techniques, and the choice of a particular implant system should be based on the surgeon's familiarity with the implant design and its limitations.
An alternative approach to the separation of recollection and familiarity is based on the assumption that the recollection and familiarity processes are independent, i.e. some items can only be recollected and some items can only be familiar but some items can be both recollected and familiar (Jacoby, Toth, & Yonelinas, 1993).
Once the data files were received the initial plan to create and code variables was also protracted based on the need to gain familiarity with the data files.
It should be noted that there is also variability in annotations made for the same paper from two different trained curators, based on the varying degrees of familiarity of the particular curator with the subject matter of the article at hand.
