[ 10 ] Another scientific paper [ 12 ] states that antecedent variables can be proximal (things like financial stressors or job satisfaction), and conducted an experiment to see if these ...

  3. Statistical syllogism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_syllogism

    Faulty generalization fallacies can also affect any argument premise that uses a generalization. A problem with applying the statistical syllogism in real cases is the reference class problem : given that a particular case I is a member of very many reference classes F, in which the proportion of attribute G may differ widely, how should one ...

  4. Faulty generalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faulty_generalization

    Hasty generalization is an informal fallacy of faulty generalization, which involves reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence [3] —essentially making a rushed conclusion without considering all of the variables or enough evidence.

  5. Classical conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_conditioning

    Classical conditioning occurs when a conditioned stimulus (CS) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US). Usually, the conditioned stimulus is a neutral stimulus (e.g., the sound of a tuning fork), the unconditioned stimulus is biologically potent (e.g., the taste of food) and the unconditioned response (UR) to the unconditioned stimulus is an unlearned reflex response (e.g., salivation).

  9. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    This parameterization is to be considered over the open intervals (a,b), where a can be −∞ and b can be +∞. An asymptote can be either vertical or non-vertical (oblique or horizontal). In the first case its equation is x = c, for some real number c. The non-vertical case has equation y = mx + n, where m and are real numbers. All three ...
