A hypothesis derived on the basis of prior entry is that attention to a disk presented later than the physically synchronous disk should shift AV synchrony towards a later disk, whereas attention to a disk presented earlier than the synchronous disk should have little effect on the position of AV synchrony or possibly prevent the disk from perceived as synchronous with the auditory click.
The TOJ task provides a perceptual measure of prior entry (Shore, Spence, & Klein, 2001; Spence, Shore, & Klein, 2001; Weiss & Scharlau, 2011), because attended stimuli are perceived earlier in time than nonattended stimuli when both are presented simultaneously (Stelmach & Herdman, 1991).
Cialdini et al. define consistency as the 'tendency to base one's responses to incoming stimuli on the implications of existing (prior entry) variables, such as previous expectancies, commitments and choices' [33].
The next four questions were entry-related; whether they routinely sound and dilate the uterus prior to entry of the hysteroscope, the type of hysteroscope used and technique used when inserting the hysteroscope.
Prior to entry of their infants into the study, the parents were informed about its aims and methods.
Prior to entry of the participants into the study, both the researchers and the therapist are blinded for randomization.
Prior to entry of the palliative care team, the study research assistant initiates the recording and returns after the visit to stop the recording.
One patient had borderline serum CA19-9 (34 U/ml) and two patients had immunostaining performed on liver resections prior to entry of the study that limits the interpretation of their staining.
Demographic information (age; sex; education level), life events (LES) and lifestyle factors (Dietary habits (FFQ) and physical activity (PAQ)) thus were entered first into the analysis so that each could be controlled prior to entry of the psychometric data.
This type of perivascular accumulation of immune cells may represent a relatively early and potentially reversible stage in the development of a CNS lesion, prior to entry of the infiltrating cells into the brain parenchyma, where they may cause tissue damage.
