A non-excluded set method for the calculation of paternity probability.

Forensic judgment of paternity depends on genetic and nongenetic evidence. Sometimes genetic marker tests can provide clear evidence to exclude a falsely accused man, but they do not always succeed. On the other hand, if the accusation is true, the alleged father will not ever be excluded by genetic marker tests.

Transfer of reaction inhibition.

A serious challenge to Hull's (1943) theory of reminiscence and intertrial-interval effects is posed by the current contention that reactive inhibition (In) must be task-specific since it does not seem to transfer from one task to another. This notion was examined within the framework of a practice-rest paradigm in which three control groups were given 20 1-min trials on a principal task with intertrial intervals of 0, 5, and 70 sec, respectively, while two experimental groups practiced alternately on the principal task and a secondary task known to produce evidence for I(R). The two secondary tasks varied in their similarities to the principal task.
