Safety Confirmation is a way of determining each day whether someone who lives alone is safe. All the person has to do is to press, before a time agreed with him or her, an I am okay button on a special landline or mobile phone handset that can also be used normally to make calls. The button press is transmitted to a monitoring centre and managed automatically. A follow up system is initiated if a user fails to confirm that they are okay. If the button is not pressed by the agreed time it can be taken as a passive request for contact.

No footnotes date February 2008 Confirmation holism , also called epistemological holism is the claim that a single scientific theory cannot be tested in isolation a test of one theory always depends on other theories and hypotheses . For example, in the first half of the 19th century, astronomers were observing the path of the planet Uranus to see if it conformed to the path predicted by Newton s law of gravitation it didn t. There were an indeterminate number of possible explanations, such as that the telescopic observations were wrong because of some unknown factor or that Newton s laws were in error or that God moves different planets in different ways. However, it was eventually accepted that an unknown planet was affecting the path of Uranus, and that the hypothesis that there are seven planets in our solar system was false. Le Verrier calculated the approximate position of the interfering planet and its existence was confirmed in 1846. We now call the planet Neptune . There are two aspects of confirmation holism. The first is that interpretation of observation is dependent on theory sometimes called theory laden . Before accepting the telescopic observations one must look into the optics of the telescope, the way the mount is constructed in order to ensure that the telescope is pointing in the right direction, and that light travels through space in a straight line which Einstein demonstrated is not so, except as a possible approximation . The second is that evidence alone is insufficient to determine which theory is correct. Each of the alternatives above might have been correct, but only one was in the end accepted. That theories can only be tested as they relate to other theories implies that one can always claim that test results that seem to refute a favoured scientific theory have not refuted that theory at all. Rather, one can claim that the test results conflict with predictions because some other theory is false or unrecognised this is Einstein s basic ... more details

Refimprove date July 2008 Cultural bias is the phenomenon of interpreting and judging phenomena by standards inherent to one s own culture. The phenomenon is sometimes considered a problem central to social and human sciences, such as economics , psychology , anthropology , and sociology . Some practitioners of the aforementioned fields have attempted to develop methods and theories to compensate for or eliminate cultural bias. Cultural bias occurs when people of a culture make assumptions about conventions, including conventions of language, notation, proof and evidence. They are then accused of mistaking these assumptions for laws of logic or nature. Numerous such biases exist, concerning cultural norms for color, location of body parts, mate selection, concepts of justice, linguistics linguistic and logical validity, acceptability of evidence, and taboos. Examples People who read English often assume that it is natural to scan a visual field from left to right and from top to bottom. In the United States it is typical for the on position of a toggle switch to be up , whereas in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand it is down. Also, in these countries, North is the top of a map, up is usually the larger quantity and better, as well.

This effect has been demonstrated in psychological experiments, and is independent of reasoning ability. In a series of experiments by Evans, et al., subjects were presented with deductive reasoning deductive arguments in each of which a series of premises and a conclusion are given and asked to indicate if each conclusion necessarily follows from the premises given. In other words, the subjects are asked to make an evaluation of logical validity . The subjects, however, exhibited belief bias when they rejected valid arguments with unbelievable conclusions, and endorsed invalid arguments with believable conclusions. It seems that instead of following directions and assessing logical validity, the subjects based their assessments on personal beliefs . ref Evans, J. St. B.T., Barston, J.L., & Pollard, P. 1983 .

Congruence bias is a type of cognitive bias similar to confirmationbias . Congruence bias occurs due to people s overreliance on direct testing of a given hypothesis , and a neglect of indirect testing. Examples Suppose that in an experiment , a subject is presented with two buttons, and is told that pressing one of those buttons, but not the other, will open a door. The subject adopts the hypothesis that the button on the left opens the door in question. A direct test of this hypothesis would be pressing the button on the left an indirect test would be pressing the button on the right. The latter is still a valid test because once the result of the door s remaining closed is found, the left button is proven to be the desired button. This example is parallel to Bruner, Goodnow, and Austin s example in the psychology classic A Study of Thinking . We can take this idea of direct and indirect testing and apply it to more complicated experiments in order to explain the presence of a congruence bias in people. In an experiment, a subject will test his own usually naive hypothesis again and again instead of trying to disprove it. The classic example of subjects congruence bias is found in Wason 1960, 1968b . Here, the experimenter gave subjects the number sequence 2, 4, 6, telling the subjects that this sequence followed a particular rule and instructing subjects to find the rule underlying the sequence logic. Subjects provided their own number sequences as tests to see if they could ascertain the rule dictating which numbers could be included in the sequence and which could not. Most subjects respond to the task by quickly deciding that the underlying rule is numbers ascending by 2, and provide as tests only sequences concordant with this rule, such as 3, 5, 7, or even pi plus ... is the root of the congruence bias. Jonathan Baron explains that subjects could be said to be using ... hypotheses. To avoid falling into the trap of the congruence bias, Baron suggests that the following ... more details
