Example Sentences:
(1) Kinesthetic Aftereffect (KAE), once a promising personality index, has been abandoned by many investigators because of poor retest reliability and intermittent validity.
(2) Also, the data show some new but tentative experimental evidence for the construct validity of second-session KAE as a measure of need for stimulation.
(3) Data from two new studies do not support this functional similarity hypothesis, but these data do support the KAE by showing test-retest reliability.
(4) It was hypothesized and confirmed in three adult female samples that KAE varies curvilinearly over the menstrual cycle: Greater KAE reduction occurs at the cycle's beginning and end.
(5) We hypothesize that cyclical variation in the SIM mechanism mediates the curvilinear pattern observed for both these four behaviors and KAE.
(6) Research suggests that kinesthetic aftereffect (KAE) scores reflect status on a postulated stimulus intensity modulation (SIM) mechanism that damps down subjective stimulus intensity for some (reducing) and increases it for others (augmenting).
(7) Prior research has found that individual differences in long-lasting carryover effects occur in the kinesthetic aftereffect (KAE) task both when the aftereffect inducing block was wider (I greater than T) and narrower (I less than T) than the test block.
(8) Of the behaviors studied in the KAE literature, only five are also encompassed by the menstrual cycle literature.

(17) These data do support the KAE as a personality measure but, when contrasted to arguments that only first-session KAE is valid, the data indicate that this is unresolved.
