Document Summary

Let"s consider an example of different types of scales in research: research on. Stimuli presentation on the right side of the abdomen. Size estimation of the tactile stimuli on a touchpad. An patients have a disturbance in the metric properties of the mental representation of their body as they overestimate the size of tactile stimuli compared to controls. The two dimensions of the body representation in women suffering from anorexia. Patients perceive and represent their body selectively larger in only one dimension (horizontal). Identify whether there are two points or one. Patients performed significantly worse on the horizontal axis only than controls and required wider distances between stimuli to perceive separate points on abdomen and on thigh. The questions must be specific and meaningful. A sample is a relatively small subset of a population that is intended to represent the population. random sample: a set of individuals randomly selected from the population.
