The literature suggests two potential relationships between gesture and language (1) gesture arises during conceptual preparations for speaking (the Interface Hypothesis) or (2) gestures are generated from lexical semantics (the Lexical Hypothesis).
Hence, strictly speaking, the data are hypothesis generating rather than hypothesis testing with respect to cardiovascular risk.
The mines in this field can blow up an entire career, as Larry Summers found out in 2005 when he spoke of the hypothesis that the mathematical aptitude needed for physics and engineering, as well as for maths itself, is innately rarer in women than in men.
"That speaks to the hypothesis of thimerosal directly affecting behavior," she says.
Did the authors try any kind of reconstitution experiments that might speak to the hypothesis that potency of sulfonolipids is dependent on the context of delivery?
This speaks for the hypothesis that poorer physical condition in combination with back pain is not a cause but a consequence of the pain condition.
Even if we cannot exclude the possibility of a reversed causality, the presently observed negative correlation between time period elapsed since diabetes diagnosis and CB-153 level in serum, speaks for the hypothesis of POP as a risk factor.
This finding speaks against the hypothesis that neophobia in corvids may be driven by the degree/amount of scavenging, as crows appear to be less reliant on carcasses than ravens (Bent 1946; Heinrich 1988).
We would like to emphasise that our results do not speak against the hypothesis that pre-existing temporal firing sequences exist in the hippocampus, as suggested by other authors (e.g. Dragoi and Tonegawa, 2011, Nature).
The independence of gaze following and disengagement of attention measures at 14 months, speaks against the hypothesis that poor attentional control could be a unique primary cause of autism, with subsequent cascading effects on gaze following (no relationship was found between disengagement of attention at 7 months and gaze following at 14 months, either; Bedford, 2012).
