Significantly, the difference between dynamic and static values followed the same trend as did response timing: the largest absolute difference was associated with the Biological-Motion condition, while progressively smaller values were associated with Time-Shifted, Upside-Down, Double-Pendulum, Rigid-Translation and Whirligig conditions in this order.
The trends were clearly different between the animate sessions considered together (Biological-Motion, Time-Shifted and Upside-Down) and the inanimate ones (Rigid-Translation, Double-Pendulum and Whirligig).
Both Time-Shifted and Upside-Down served to verify whether unnatural animate motions affect response timing in the same manner as the more natural Biological-Motion.
It can be noticed that early interception responses occurred with all the characters endowed with some degree of animacy (Biological-Motion, Time-Shifted and Upside-Down), although the negative bias was larger with the more natural animate character (Biological-Motion) than with the unnatural characters (Time-Shifted and Upside-Down).
The post-hoc Bonferroni t-tests were significant (P<0.05) in all subjects with the following exceptions: the (between-sessions) comparison between Time-Shifted and Upside-Down was not significant in two subjects, and the (between-sessions) comparison between Rigid-Translation and Whirligig was not significant in one subject.
On the upside, shifting to the "Survivor" model would afford everyone an opportunity, and it would inject a bit of excitement into the race early on.
Maybe I'm the only one who still sees time-shifting as all upside — working your own hours, reading a news story two weeks late, watching TV and movies only on disk, DVR or download.
"It was possible that the risks to CPI inflation in the medium term might have, if anything, shifted to the upside, but all members were also alert to the downside risk of current low inflation becoming entrenched".
"Although the macroeconomic backdrop still remains uncertain, particularly in Europe," the bank said, "we believe that the price risks are now shifting more to the upside".
This is what is meant by "greater wage flexibility"—falling real wages.There is obviously some upside to the shift in this dynamic.
