Influence of non-directional errors in anthropometric measurements and age estimation on anthropometric prevalence indicators.

Anthropometric prevalence indicators such as stunting, wasting, and underweight are widely-used population-level tools used to track trends in childhood nutrition. Threats to the validity of these data can lead to erroneous decision making and improper allocation of finite resources intended to support some of the world's most vulnerable populations. It has been demonstrated previously that aggregated prevalence rates for these indicators can be highly sensitive to biases in the presence of non-directional measurement errors, but the quantitative relationship between the contributing factors and the scale of this bias has not been fully described.

Taylor Swift does not boost face recognition in reaction time-based Concealed Information Test: investigating target-familiarity effects.

Eyewitness identifications from lineups are prone to error. More indirect identification procedures, such as the reaction-time based Concealed Information Test (RT-CIT) could be a viable alternative to lineups. The RT-CIT uses response times to assess facial familiarity.

Farm forests, seasonal hunger, and biomass poverty: Evidence of induced intensification from panel data in the Ethiopian Highlands.

Seasonal hunger is the most common food insecurity experience for millions of small dryland farmers. This study tests the relationships between food insecurity, farm forests, and biomass poverty using a longitudinal dataset from the Amhara region of Ethiopia. These data form part of the Ethiopia Socioeconomic Survey, which collected panel data over three survey rounds from 530 households between 2011 and 2016.

Nonverbal memory tests revisited: Neuroanatomical correlates and differential influence of biasing cognitive functions.

The detection of right temporal lobe dysfunction with nonverbal memory tests has remained difficult in the past. Reasons for this might be the potential influence of other biasing cognitive functions such as executive functions or the verbalisability of nonverbal material. The aim of this study was to investigate three classic nonverbal memory tests by identifying their neuroanatomical correlates with lesion-symptom mapping (LSM) and by probing their independence from verbal encoding abilities and executive functions.
