(3) Perhaps you think that's a small price to pay for being able to tell, from your browser's Truthiness Dashboard™, whether that person on your timeline really did just witness a dog skateboarding past his window wearing giant Beats headphones.
(4) Here we are with the freest access to knowledge in history, troves of data and facts at our fingertips and HG Wells’s dream of a world brain a reality , yet a tide of truthiness, propaganda and nonsense surges ever higher.
Veridical
Definition:
(a.) Truth-telling; truthful; veracious.
Example Sentences:
(1) We studied how much blue, green, or red light had to be added to or subtracted from white to obtain veridical hue perception (blue, green, red, or their complementary colours) at various locations in the temporal visual field.
(2) This rotation is believed to pose a problem with veridical stereoscopic localization.
(3) It is controversial whether or not veridical feedback is necessary to bring about increases in alpha activity in the feedback situation and has been suggested that the instructional variable may be a crucial determinant of outcome.
(4) What happens to the timing of the grasp movements involved in catching a ball when optical expansion information is not veridically provided?
(5) In light of these two qualitatively different deficits, possible mechanisms are discussed how the two signals may interact towards a more veridical visual localization.
(6) When room reflectance was high (T60 approximately 1.7 s for the range of frequencies used), initial reports of distance were often overestimates; upon repeated presentation, judgments in the high reflectance room became more nearly veridical.
(7) However, in the presence of colour contrast, significantly higher levels of luminance contrast are required to achieve a veridical velocity than for monochromatic stimuli with only luminance contrast.
(8) If fear faces are functionally analogous to prepared stimuli, then, even in the absence of veridical support for an expectation of shock, they should retain excitatory strength, whereas happy faces should not.
(9) Phenomenal geometry is expected to apply to both veridical and illusory perceptions.
(10) Once distorted, return to veridical attitude perception can be gradual because, in the absence of complimentary canal or visual information, recovery is dependent upon relatively slow cognitive appreciation of a prevailing otolith position signal.
(11) However, there was one noticeable exception; during the combination 'head rotation on stationary trunk', Ss veridically perceived their trunk as stationary (compatible with the notion that the sum yielded 'zero').
(12) This study was designed to determine whether veridical interpersonal perceptions can be found on the basis of physiognomic cues.
(13) Results demonstrated considerable veridicality, especially by male judges and of stimulus persons occupying categories which imply physical attributes.
(14) This lack of correlation suggests that the responses obtained when viewing either the DOG target or retinoscope beam may not represent a veridical measure of TA.
(15) From published data it has been possible to calculate the magnitude of the vertical disparities that the human visual system must be able to discriminate in order for depth constancy to have the observed level of veridicality.
(16) Perceptual content is how the external intentional object perspectivally appears from moment to moment and how it is perceptually taken to be, veridically or not.
(17) The obtained data indicate that increasing the availability of binocular disparity by increasing viewing screen width favors veridical rotation perception.
(18) Regardless of hand used, right-handers bisected vertical lines significantly above veridical center.
(19) This report examines the accuracy or veridicality of information obtained through interviews with drug addicts.
(20) The CIE 1931 (x, y) chromaticity coordinates corresponding to a veridical hue perception were subtracted from the chromaticity coordinates of the white (0.35, 0.35) in order to obtain the threshold differences (dx, dy) in chromaticity coordinates.
