I was still at the innocent phase of my lifelong infatuation with Spain, and was probably telling my companion about the quintessential Spanishness of the work, its exotic and surreal character, its mixture of sombreness and sensuality, its element of the grotesque, its underlying magic.
But for now, I'm enjoying that sweet innocent phase.
Some people say James Joyce's muse was his daughter when she was really young, during an innocent phase of her life.
The scalp maps show that the average difference between probes and irrelevants between 450 and 800 ms in the cooperative phase displayed the canonical enhancement often found in guilty knowledge studies, relative to the innocent phase.
3 In Experiment one, for all measures, the percentage of individual participants classified as guilty was highly similar across the innocent phase, in which there was no crime knowledge, and the uncooperative phase, in which the participant had guilty knowledge.
With a liberal 90% confidence level, an unacceptably high percentage of participants were erroneously classified as guilty in the innocent phase (i.e. false alarms) for the base-to-peak and peak-to-peak P300 measures (approx. 30%).
If they are perfectly successful at suppressing retrieval, P300 amplitudes during suppression of guilty knowledge should be indistinguishable from those observed during the innocent control phase.
This similarity between innocent and uncooperative phases contrasted with the cooperative phase, in which detection rates were notably higher (with the exception of the peak-to-peak measure, as described above).
However, there were no significant differences between probes and irrelevants in the innocent or uncooperative phases in either time-window and in either experiment.
