Subjects each groups told one diagnoses was correct state what they would have assigned diagnosis if making original diagnosis. Foresight-reasons hindsight-reasons performed same task as...
We present a consensus-based checklist to improve and document the transparency of research reports in social behavioural research. An accompanying online application allows users complete form generate report that they can submit with their manuscript or post public repository.
Abstract Using factual information of uncertain truth value as the stimulus material, previous investigators have found that repeated statements are rated more valid than non‐repeated statements.

This was comprised some seen earlier plus first time. Results suggested all types their counterparts....
