Accuracy

Examples of Accuracy in the following topics:

• Considerations for Eyewitness Testimony

  • However, the accuracy of this initial information acquisition can be influenced by a number of factors.
  • The accuracy of eyewitness memory degrades swiftly after initial encoding.
  • One classic study was conducted in 1974 by Elizabeth Loftus, a notable researcher on the accuracy of memory.
  • Age has been shown to impact the accuracy of memory as well.
  • There are also a number of biases that can alter the accuracy of memory.

• Accuracy vs. Precision

  • "Accuracy" is the closeness of a measurement quantity to that quantity's true value.
  • When researchers collect data, they strive for both accuracy and precision so that their data are valid and they can reduce variance in their results due to error.

• Personality Testing in the Workplace

  • This can be especially true when comparing behavior at home or with friends to behavior at work—limiting the test's accuracy for employment.

• Evaluating the Humanistic Perspective on Personality

  • The holistic approach allows for much variation but does not identify enough constant variables in order to be researched with true accuracy.

• Selection

  • Their accuracy in noticing these physical differences amid background noise improves over time.

• Introduction to Industrial and Organizational Psychology

  • Some of his personnel-selection methods included tests to measure certain desirable characteristics using rating scales to rank applicants on necessary skills and attributes (appearance, demeanor, neatness, judgment, and accuracy).

• Neural Correlates of Memory Consolidation

  • The cerebellum is more generally involved in motor learning, and damage to it can result in problems with movement; specifically, it is thought to coordinate the timing and accuracy of movements, and to make long-term changes (learning) to improve these skills.

• History of Intelligence Testing

  • This strong correlation means that if you know someone's IQ score, you can use that with a high level of accuracy to predict their g, and vice versa.

• Maslow's Humanistic Theory of Personality

  • Because of the subjective nature of the study, the holistic approach allows for a great deal of variation but does not identify enough constant variables in order to be researched with true accuracy.

• Humanistic Therapy

  • The holistic approach allows for much variation but does not identify enough constant variables to be researched with true accuracy.
