Diversity and geographic distribution of ciliates (Protista: Ciliophora) (2008, background): “In the sense of Popper (1962) , this list represents a testable hypothesis, i.e., the hypothesis of restricted distribution of certain ciliate species must be refused when a considerable number of them is found in all or most biogeographic regions.”
Is Cognitive Case Formulation Science or Science Fiction (2006, background): “As such, " every application of scientific inquiry is based on an inference from hypotheses (which are universal ) to single cases, i.e., upon a deduction of singular predictions " (Popper, 1959, p. 64).”
Rule Extraction from Recurrent Neural Networks: ATaxonomy and Review (2005, background): “More precisely, we may restrict ourselves to accepting only explanations that could be falsified through experiments (Popper, 1990).”
Experimental Design and Data Analysis for Biologists (2002, background): “Karl Popper (1968, 1969) formalized this as the hypothetico-deductive approach, based around the principle of falsificationism, the doctrine whereby theories (or hypotheses derived from them) are disproved because proof is logically impossible.”
Frequentist statistics as a theory of inductive inference (2006, methodology): “Taking as a backdrop remarks by Fisher [10], Lehmann [15] on Neyman, and by Popper [26] on induction, we consider the roles of significance tests in bridging inductive gaps in traditional hypothetical deductive inference.”
Extreme Case Formulations: Softeners, Investment, and Doing Nonliteral (2000, background): “Although there is a certain logic to that (e.g., developed by Popper, 1959 ), the interesting thing is that it also seems to be something that participants in everyday”
The ‘‘What’’ and ‘‘How’’ of Case Study Rigor: Three Strategies Based on Published Work (2010, background): “In line with the positivist tradition, all of Silverman’s strategies for avoiding anecdotalism are based on Popper’s (1959) critical realism, which demands that researchers seek to Gibbert and Ruigrok 713”
Evolutionary Political Psychology: On the Origin and Structure of Heuristics and Biases in Politics (2015, background): “When in Popper’s (1959) “context of discovery”—the context of hypothesis formulation—we are no longer confined to our own fallible intuitions when considering the structure of political heuristics.”
Pursuing the method of multiple working hypotheses for hydrological modeling (2011, background): “[20] In recognition of the Popperian principle of falsification of testable hypotheses [Popper, 1959], a number of ‘‘rejectionist’’ frameworks have been proposed in hydrological sciences [e.g., Beven, 2002; Vaché and McDonnell, 2006].”
Climate change and COP26: Are digital technologies and information management part of the problem or the solution? An editorial reflection and call to action (2022, methodology): “Through verification and falsification (Popper, 1974), research is expected to come up with theories, paradigms, perspectives (Kuhn, 1962) that explains and explores practices that we may evaluate, giving”
Perceived Burdensomeness And Suicidality: Two Studies On The Suicide Notes Of Those Attempting And Those Completing Suicide (2002, background): “First, we attempted to place our hypotheses in grave danger of refutation (cf. Popper, 1959; Meehl, 1991), by comparing burdensomeness to dimensions that were previously theorized to characterize suicide completion (e.g., hopelessness; Beck et al., 1990; emotional pain; Shneidman, 1985).”
Replication Research and Special Education (2016, background): “Replication research is essential to the accumulation of scientific knowledge (Francis, 2012; Jasny, Chin, Chong, & Vignieri, 2011; Popper, 1959).”
