Thus, even with the carefully structured review process, there may still be substantial variation in the judgments of physician reviewers.
Individual variation in the modified Moral Judgment Interview (mMJI) scores correlated positively with BOLD responses in the supplementary motor area (SMA) and left STS (Figure 2) for the justice>neutral contrast; BOLD responses in the right dACC were negatively correlated with individual mMJI scores (Table S1).
Diagnosis of PDD still relies on behavioral observation, leaving room for wide variation in clinical judgment, and in cultural and social impact in the identification of biological conditions.
Strictly speaking, variation in judgment may exist both in the understanding of the emotion word (e.g., what emotion is referred to by the word upset) and in the categorization of the encoded emotion (e.g., what emotion type and intensity level the emotion upset belongs to).
A wide variation in clinicians' judgment has been observed in a group of 819 doctors from Australia and UK [ 20].
To the extent that CMA-related diagnoses remain uncertain, ensuing clinical action is speculative, subject to variation in clinical judgment, and has received even less empirical attention.
We examined potential determining factors for children's competence to consent to clinical research and to what extent they explain the variation in competence judgments.
Indeed, some contend that the basic observation that supports the former thesis also lends support to the latter thesis: wide variation in the motivational impact of moral judgments suggests not only that they motivate contingently but that they do so via some conative state.
By mapping these properties to people's judgments of the faces, the researchers found that first impressions are surprisingly predictable 58% of the variation in judgments could be explained just by the relative size and position of a few facial traits, the team reports online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Second, current surveillance definitions include subjective components, such as a surgeon's diagnosis of SSI, which create the opportunity for substantial variation in judgment and documentation.
