The fact that NPA scores provide quantitative measurements for the response of entities that are not explicitly measured or measureable can be exploited in the construction, calibration, or evaluation phases of such models.
This finding implies the effectiveness of the family history assessment which was not explicitly measured in the study.
The challenge of course is that forgone benefit is often not explicitly measured and while program evaluations are common, thinking at the margin is much less prevalent.
Although bite force was not explicitly measured, the authors suggested that children at 18 months of age might have learnt to regulate bite force.
Cell proliferation and death were not explicitly measured, thus reductions in viable cell yields cannot be specifically attributed to cytotoxic or cytostatic mechanisms.
Although the curvatures of the left and right talus bones were not explicitly measured, the shapes were compared using the deviation tool.
However inspection of the video suggests that the magnitude of the antennal displacements (while not explicitly measured) produced by the magnet must be far greater than those normally produced by the application of dust.
Risk aversion has also served as the basis for health behavior change interventions even if not explicitly measured, such as those that seek to help individuals to internalize and recognize risky sexual practices [ 6].
Although familiarity was not explicitly measured in the current study, such as by remember-know judgments, making it difficult to address this hypothesis, the lack of a similar memory effect for words and scenes in the perirhinal cortex, in addition to the high level of source memory accuracy for objects, makes this explanation unlikely.
Although we have not explicitly measured mRNA decay rates of the reporters, we presume that, because the mRNAs are nearly identical, and because translation rates vary little across the reporters, mRNA decay rates likely vary also only moderately across the reporters.
