[QUOTE="ChileanTaco, post: 2045031, member: 118921"] Agree on that! (Also as a researcher myself.) The case is with many scientific articles and methods who try to measure something, but in either a too artificial way (like here: has nothing to do with their life on the wild, they are doing perfectly fine) or use something as a proxy. An example for the latter: Once I took an assignment in which, among other things, also memory was tested. My score was super low, which didn't line up with everyday experience (like: school grades, hobbies requiring very good memory). I wondered. looking deeper into the test evaluation, I recognized they only used a part of the test for that where one had to remember faces and the name shown for them, and thus used "facial recognition" as proxy for "memory". (I'm a person with Asperger's and prosopagnosia, and in fact score super low on facial recognition, but high on memory tests with numbers, facts, abstract shapes.) And things like that happen a lot: The usage of proxies that seem to work, but in fact don't. [/QUOTE]
