6. False positive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- en2.wikipedia.org
- False positive.
- A false positive, also called false alarm, exists when a test reports, incorrectly, that it has found a signal where none exists in reality. Detection algorithms of all kinds have the tendency to create such false alarms.
- When developing such software or hardware there is always a tradeoff between false positives and false negatives (in which an actual match is not detected). In the language of statistical hypothesis testing, this is a question of balancing the risk of Type I errors (false positives which reject the null hypothesis when it is true) against Type II errors (false negatives which fail to reject the null hypothesis when it is false).
- The higher this trigger value is, the more similar an object has to be to be detected and the fewer false positives will be created.
- False positives are also a significant issue in medical testing. ... For example, the simplest tests for HIV and hepatitis in blood have a significant rate of false positives. ...
- False positives can produce serious and counterintuitive problems when the condition being searched for is rare. If a test has a false positive rate of one in ten thousand, but only one in a million samples (or people) is a true positive, most of the "positives" detected by the test will be false. The probability that an observed positive result is a false positive may be calculated, and the problem of false positives demonstrated, using Bayes' theorem.

- While the sexual abuse recovery establishment, such as it is, remains and will always diametrically opposed to the recent emergence of the so-called "False Memory" movement, in the name of combating false allegations, men's rights organizations have snuggled up to a pedophile support organization. The False Memory Syndrome Foundation.
- I've watched the emergence of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) with amazement. ...
- For example, FMSF makes no effort to verify any claim of false accusation, yet blithely quotes its membership totals as if each case were legitimate. ...
- I'd be the last to deny that there are occasional false accusations of abuse, especially in contested divorce cases. While there is little evidence to suggest any more than a minuscule number (under one percent) of false accusation in cases of disassociated memory, when custody and divorce are involved, the record is not as honorable. ...

- It is one thing to change a detail or two in an otherwise intact memory but quite another to plant a false memory of an event that never happened.

Statistically, there were some differences between the true memories and the false ones: participants used more words to describe the true memories, and they rated the true memories as being somewhat more clear. But if an onlooker were to observe many of our participants describe an event, it would be difficult indeed to tell whether the account was of a true or a false memory. ... But the lost-in-the-mall study is not about real experiences of being lost; it is about planting false memories of being lost. The paradigm shows a way of instilling false memories and takes a step toward allowing us to understand how this might happen in real-world settings. ...
- In addition to actual events reported by parents, each participant was given one false event either an overnight hospitalization for a high fever and a possible ear infection, or a birthday party with pizza and a clown that supposedly happened at about the age of five. ...

12. The Complex Issues in Researching "False memory Syndrome"
- www.massey.ac.nz
- "False memory Syndrome".
- The Complex Issues in Researching "False memory Syndrome".
- au Keywords: false memories, recovered memories, false memory syndrome .
- It proposes that "recovered" memories that are false arise from complex interactions that also include family dynamics, social-perceptual pre-conditioning, media induction, secondary gain, therapists' beliefs, and treatment approaches and expectancies with certain precipitating events acting as catalysts. ...
- The Complex Issues in Researching "False memory Syndrome".
- The position taken in this paper is that there may be clients who have produced and maintained constructions about events that are clearly false or enhanced - labelled by some as False Memory Syndrome (FMS). ...
- The term False Memory Syndrome (FMS) was coined to explain this phenomenon - defined by Kihlstrom (cited in Pope, 1996) as "a condition in which a person's identity and interpersonal relationships are centered around a memory of traumatic experience which is objectively false but in which the person strongly believes. ...
- The exact number of court actions against professionals practising therapy in Australia and New Zealand is unknown, but in the USA in 1997, there were 800 cases (and 5000 planned) where clients and/or their families were suing therapists for implanting "false memories" (Brown, 1997). ...
- In the research community, the debate continues as to whether there is, or is not, a possibility that: (a) memories can be completely or partially forgotten for many years (Loftus, Garry & Feldman, 1994); (b) memories recovered in therapy can be accurate or false (Pope & Brown,1997; Watkins, 1993; Yapko, 1996); (c) all memories change with re-accessing or over time (Sheehan, 1996); and (d) beliefs which therapists hold about memories of childhood abuse may influence the client (Poole, Lindsay, Memon, & Bull, 1995). ...
- The same researchers mentioned that the pathway to false memory also involved a propensity to fantasise and conform to expert opinion (Offshe, 1992, cited in Lynn & Nash, 1994), but the link has yet to be validated experimentally. ...
- Perceived expectations of the therapist/experimenter can affect the production of reports associated with FMS, and also the consequent belief that the false memory is in fact true. ... By way of explanation, the researchers took the socio-cognitive view that the subjects were responding at the time of interview to situational demands, rather than the view that hypnosis was to blame for implanting the false constructions of abuse.
- The eyewitness memory research by Loftus (1993) that post-event misinformation changes an original memory trace, and may even erase or replace it with an inaccurate or false memory, is instructive, and her classical research on "yield" signs and car accidents, thieves and purse-snatching has been used extensively in court cases. ...
- The appearance of contemporary apprehensions such as satanic cults, date rape and alien visitations in the content of false memories needs explanation. Bartholomew, Basterfield and Howard (1991) thought it only natural that the content of false memories would reflect science fiction and popular beliefs of the time, and Dittburner and Persinger (1993) considered that "estimates of prevalence for phenomena that receive generalised media coverage may be subjectively inflated". ...
