But the rise of mobile phones and social networks means budding psychohistorians do now have an enormous amount of data that they can search for information which might yield more modest patterns of predictability.
In a novel effort to examine the association of pretransplant glycemic control during the dialysis treatment era with posttransplant outcomes in kidney transplant recipients, Molnar et al. (24) recently reported similar pattern of outcome predictability for A1C.
Alternatively, sleep might support the reorganization of those task representations that received more attentional control at pre-sleep encoding (as observable in EEG patterns) regardless of predictability vs. unpredictability of responses in relation to the hidden task structure.
A challenge to modeling is systematic components of time variation whose patterns have a level of predictability – inter-annual (long-term trend), day-of-the-week, and yearly-seasonal components [ 2, 10].
Once the relationship has settled into a pattern, even a comfortable one, of predictability or boredom, the drawn-out anticipation is replaced by "You're here already?
Hall et al.'s stimuli moved predictably, so how patterning and predictability of motion, both relevant factors for many group-living species, moderate or enhance the confusion effect should be investigated.
This impact heterogeneity, coupled with widely different citation histories (Fig. 1A), suggests a lack of order and hence lack of predictability in citation patterns.
Having different health and built environment characteristics also corresponds with different degrees of predictability of the activity-travel patterns, particularly in the worker/student case.
These findings confirm the importance of considering sets of activity parameters that extend beyond simple actigraphy measures (such as mean counts per minute) to include variability, regularity, amplitude, and 24-h patterning or predictability of rest-activity cycles.
