Forgotten Moments: Skewness and Kurtosis as Influential Factors in Inferences Extrapolated From Response Distributions

March 6, 1984

| 1980-1990, Publications by Year

Citation:
Newell, K.M., & Hancock, P.A. (1984). Forgotten moments: Skewness and kurtosis are influential factors in inferences extrapolated from response distributions. Journal of Motor Behavior, 16(3), 320-335.

Abstract:
It is proposed that reliance on only the mean and standard deviation of a distribution to describe response frequency may lead to erroneous inferences concerning such distributions when skewness and kurtosis are present.

An Endogenous Metric for the Control of Perception of Brief Temporal Intervals

Citation:
Hancock, P.A. (1984). An endogenous metric for the control of perception of brief temporal intervals. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 423, 594-596.

Abstract:
The biochemical clock hypothesis, advanced by Hoagland in 1993, suggested the existence of a unitary neurophysical process which subsumed the human perception of brief temporal intervals.
