Julius Bernstein, an experimental neurophysiologist, used physical chemical theories to develop a membrane theory of nervous conduction; Hodgkin's initial experiments were designed to test specific predictions of the Bernstein hypothesis.
The experiment was designed to test specific predictions based on Bayesian updating with different memory dynamics.
This study tests specific predictions made by Garety et al. [Garety, P.A., Kuipers, E.K., Fowler, D., Freeman, D., Bebbington, P.E., 2001. A cognitive model of the positive symptoms of psychosis. Psychological Medicine, 31, 189 195] about the role of emotion and negative evaluative beliefs in psychosis.
It serves as a clearinghouse for computationally determined gene function predictions, prioritizes these for experimental testing, and offers grants to experimental biologists to test specific predictions [ 10].
Contingency analyses (Fisher exact tests) were carried out using on-line software [ 48] to test specific predictions of the chromalveolate model.
The original model was selectively parameterized to fit distinct physiological properties of the oculomotor system in order to test specific predictions about the neural dynamics of this network during an inhibitory saccade task.
However, as the focus of this study was on testing specific predictions about the relationship of positive and negative metacognitive beliefs about worry with emotional distress, the latter three subscales were discarded.
However, to test specific predictions of the TCD model regarding tinnitus-related changes in particular frequency regions of the comodulograms, we also examined AAC averaged over these regions as a more compact measure of cross-frequency coupling.
As such, statistical approaches have traditionally focused on testing specific predictions based upon well-focused hypotheses.
