  • Perception in chess

    “Several previous studies have shown that experts pay more attention to task-relevant aspects of such displays (Chase & Simon, 1973; Lowe, 1993, 1994, 1996; Reingold et al., 2001).”

  • Interrogation of a dynamic visualization during learning

    Lowe, R. (2004) · Learning and Instruction · doi:10.1016/j.learninstruc.2004.06.003 · Cited by 312 · cited 1×

    “In meteorology, the domain of interest here, novices tend to focus primary on a weather map’s superficial features, whereas experts focus on elements that are thematically relevant (Lowe, 1993, 1994, 1996, 2004).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
