Through such patterns, sometimes called 'spurious attractors', object cues may activate the wrong context pattern, leading to source misattributions.
The reduction of entorhinal efferents to the hippocampal module contributes to functional deficits, causing an increase in source misattributions and false alarms in the source monitoring task.
On the other hand, reduction of entorhinal efferents to the hippocampal module underlies the increase in source misattributions and false alarms.
It's called a "misattribution source," and a new study suggests it may confirm that women are profoundly uncomfortable talking themselves up -- especially in the workplace.
From misspelling people's names, to mispronouncing foreign words, to misattribution of sources (intentionally or through sheer ignorance), to a multitude of sins, I don't let up on unethical behavior.
For example, heightened awareness of bodily arousal, alongside misattributions of the source of the arousal, is believed to contribute to the maintenance of panic disorder and social phobia (e.g. Clark, 1986; Clark & Wells, 1995).
Misattribution occurs when we confuse the source of a memory, suggestibility when a false memory is implanted as a result of leading questions, comments, or suggestions, bias when our current knowledge and beliefs lead us to revise memories of our previous experiences, and persistence when memories of disturbing events linger despite our best efforts to forget them.
Studies investigating the failure of this 'self-monitoring' mechanism in patients with delusions of control will be discussed in the context of the hypothesis that overactivity in the parietal cortex and the cerebellum contribute to the misattribution of an action to an external source (Spence et al., 1997).
In the case of delusions of control, for example, which refer to the misattribution of self-generated activity to an external source or agency, this dysfunction is thought to arise in the mechanisms underlying self-generated action.
These results suggest that the difficulties that people with delusions of communication experience in understanding gestures can be explained, at least in part, by the misattribution of self-generated internal events to external sources.
'Blaming others' describes the misattribution of blame for one's own antisocial behaviors to (innocent) outside sources.
