Park (2021) has described "flawed stimulus design(s)" in our recent studies on area perception. Here, we briefly respond to those critiques. While the rigorous, computational approaches taken by Park (and others) certainly have value, we believe that our approach - one that focuses the perceptual reality of quantity rather than the physical reality - is essential. We emphasize again (as we have many times in our work) that the study of quantity perception benefits from both approaches. To further illustrate our point, we collected additional data and show that some of Park's arguments, while sensible in principle, further support our view in practice.

MEMS acoustic sensors are a type of physical quantity sensor based on MEMS manufacturing technology for detecting sound waves. They utilize various sensitive structures such as thin films, cantilever beams, or cilia to collect acoustic energy, and use certain transduction principles to read out the generated strain, thereby obtaining the targeted acoustic signal's information, such as its intensity, direction, and distribution. Due to their advantages in miniaturization, low power consumption, high precision, high consistency, high repeatability, high reliability, and ease of integration, MEMS acoustic sensors are widely applied in many areas, such as consumer electronics, industrial perception, military equipment, and health monitoring.

Colorectal Dis
February 2025
West of Scotland Deanery, Scotland.
Aim: Shared decision-making (SDM) is now considered the gold standard approach to counselling and obtaining patient consent. Research into patient perceptions of SDM is lacking and barriers to its implementation remain, specifically in the time-pressurized, high-risk emergency general surgery (EGS) setting. The aim of this work was to explore what EGS patients understand about SDM, gaining insight into their perspectives and experiences to understand the potential barriers both clinicians and patients may face.

Introduction: Self-monitoring abilities, both in the moment (online) and general self-knowledge (offline) of one's errors, are crucial to implementing modification to tasks to support healthy, independent aging. Cognitive strategies (CS) aid in functional, physical, and cognitive abilities, but without recognition of their need, individuals may struggle to complete daily tasks. The current study examined whether higher levels of self-monitoring would predict higher use and quality of real-world cognitive strategies in older adults.

Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Objective: Actionable and impactful feedback remains a perpetual challenge in medical education despite extensive efforts to improve the feedback process. A feedback framework was adapted from a validated model and tailored to a single residency program. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the new feedback framework on the quantity and quality of perioperative feedback amongst surgical residents.
