Sentence examples for preventive scenario from inspiring English sources

A negative contingency (i.e., ΔP < 0) reflects the opposite situation, typical of a preventive scenario (i.e., the action prevents the occurrence of the outcome, which could either be desired or undesired).

But we know less about the illusions that may arise in the preventive scenario, when actions are thought to prevent the occurrence of undesired, but still uncontrollable, outcomes (Bloom, Venard, Harden, & Seetharaman, 2007).

We found that the illusion appeared in the preventive scenario, but only when the probability of the to-be-prevented outcome was low, which is the opposite of the usual finding in the generative scenario.

However, this rationale cannot be easily applied to the preventive scenario in which an undesired (to-be-avoided) outcome never (or hardly ever) takes place.

The goal of the current experiment is to explore the effects of P(A) and P O), two variables that affect generative illusions (i.e., produce/terminate an outcome), on the magnitude of illusions developed in a preventive scenario.

In fact, we could make the prediction that the manipulations of P O) would actually have the opposite effect when conducted in a preventive scenario as compared to when they are conducted in a generative scenario.

These two effects have been thoroughly studied in generative scenarios where participants attempt to produce a desired outcome, and not yet so in preventive scenarios where they try to prevent the occurrence of an undesired one.

By contrast, the illusions that may appear in preventive scenarios, in which actions aim to prevent an undesired outcome before it occurs, are less known.

If we re-interpret the nonoccurrence of an undesired outcome (e.g., mosquitoes not appearing after spraying a repellent) as an actually appetitive outcome, then we could hypothesize that the effect of P(O) should be present in preventive scenarios too, but only its sign would be reversed.

That the level is higher for preventive scenarios is because effective 'cure' (i.e., relapse does not occur during the 50 year period assumed in our numerical experiments) is possible, especially at cell arrest levels beyond 0.3%, whereas 'cure' is far less probable for post-diagnostic interventions.

So it is possible that, had our prevention scenario described a preventive intervention rooted in medical rather than behavioral science (e.g., drug treatment), other results could have been produced.
