Testing the storm et al.(2010) meta-analysis using bayesian and frequentist approaches: Reply to rouder et al.(2013)
No full textRouder, Morey, and Province (2013) stated that (a) the evidence-based case for psi in Storm, Tressoldi, and Di Risio's (2010) meta-analysis is supported only by a number of studies that used manual randomization, and (b) when these studies are excluded so that only investigations using automatic randomization are evaluated (and some additional studies previously omitted by Storm et al., 2010, are included), the evidence for psi is “unpersuasive.” Rouder et al. used a Bayesian approach, and we adopted the same methodology, finding that our case is upheld. Because of recent updates and corrections, we reassessed the free-response databases of Storm et al. using a frequentist approach. We discuss and critique the assumptions and findings of Rouder et al.Storm, Lance; Tressoldi, Patrizio E.; Utts, Jessic
A macroscopic violation of no-signaling in time inequalities? How to test temporal entanglement with behavioral observables
Full text linkIn this paper we applied for the first time the no-signaling in time (NSIT) formalism discussed by Kofler and Brukner (2013) to investigate temporal entanglement between binary human behavioral unconscious choices at t1 with binary random outcomes at t2. NSIT consists of a set of inequalities and represents mathematical conditions for macro-realism which require only two measurements in time. The analyses of three independent experiments show a strong violation of NSIT in two out of three of them, suggesting the hypothesis of a quantum-like temporal entanglement between human choices at t1 with binary random outcomes at t2. We discuss the potentialities of using NSIT to test temporal entanglement with behavioral measures
Does System 1 Process both Local and Nonlocal Information in Intuitive Judgment and Decision Making? Available Evidence and a Research Agenda Proposal
No full textThis paper argues that System 1, (the mental processing system mainly involved in the processing of unconscious information) in contrast to System 2, (mainly involved in the processing of conscious information), processes not only local information conveyed by sensory organs, but also nonlocal ones, that is,
those beyond the detection range of sensory organs. The striking similarities observed between the characteristics of local and nonlocal information processing by System 1, offer the possibility of using most of
the experimental protocols used to investigate local information for the nonlocal information. Available evidence is presented and a research agenda is outlined that could raise fascinating questions and answer about the functioning of the human mind

HEMISPHERIC DIFFERENCES IN ODOUR RECOGNITION.
No full textTwo experiments were designed in order to study hemispheric differences in odour recognition in normal subject. In the first experiment subjects first smelled an odour and then a visual stimulus (a picture or a word related or unrelated to the odour) was flashed either to the left or to the right hemisphere for 150 milliseconds. Subjects had to press a key if the two stimuli (olfactory and visual) matched and another key if they did not. Reaction time analysis showed that the responses were faster when the second stimulus (either picture or word) was presented to the right hemisphere. In a second experiment the first stimulus was auditory rather than olfactory. Subjects were instructed to listen to names of odorants and then to respond to pictures or written names as in the first experiment. In this case a left hemisphere advantage emerged, presumably related to the priming of the left hemisphere by the auditorially presented verbal stimulus
