  • Perception is shaped by sociohistorical processes, but this mediation does not make perception indirect in the sense of requiring mental representations or unconscious inferences.

    “Perception is shaped by such sociohistorical processes.But this kind of "mediation", as Costall calls it above, does not entail that perception becomes indirect, in the sense of requiring mental representations or unconscious inferences (Costall 1989(Costall , 1995)).”

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.
