A closer look at the agent advantage effect: The impact of motion lines
The Agent advantage effect refers to observers responding faster to someone performing an action (the Agent) than to the person or thing acted upon (the Patient). This research investigates whether...

Physicians are using A.I. for diagnoses and more. But a new study found evidence that relying on A.I. tools might erode a doctor’s ability to perform fundamental skills without the technology, a phenomenon known as “deskilling.”

Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model.

What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it?
