- 17. “If a team of observers didn't just wire up my brain but they hung around and asked me questions and watched me and saw how I reacted to everything and they were to study me much more intensively than I could study myself, they'd know more about what it is like to be me than I did. They could write a better encyclopedia of what it's like to be Dan Dennett than I could.” http://meaningoflife.tv/transcript.php?speaker=dennett
Editor's Notes
- Names that the method goes by: Ecological Momentary Assessment, Experiential Ambulatory Assessment. Experience Sampling is the name given by the researchers who developed the technique.\n\nGrew out of a dissatisfaction with with one-time surveys, esp. concerns over the retrospective biases of subjects reporting their experiences.\n\nTalk a little about how the method has changed over time. \n\n\n\n\n
- Ambulatory EEG is a way for physicians to get a long time sample of electro-encephalographic data from a patient. Can be used to diagnose seizure activity. \n\nPAT is a trademarked method for non-invasively measuring the activity of the cardiac and autonomic nervous systems. It’s most common use is to diagnose sleep apnea. \n\nPortable ECG tracks the electrical activity of the heart over time. ECG is used to measure the rate and regularity of heartbeats as well as the size and position of the chambers, the presence of any damage to the heart, and the effects of drugs or devices used to regulate the heart.\n\nExperience sampling is a way to get at thoughts and feelings as they occur in the normal daily activities of a subject. \n
- PARTICULARLY GOOD FOR INVESTIGATING STAGES OF LIFE AND CLASSES OF BEHAVIOUR (i.e. temporally extended phenomena)\n\n“If a person’s happiness level is measured only once, it is by definition impossible to detect \nintra-individual variations. Yet, we know quite well that emotional states, including happiness, \nare quite volatile and responsive to environmental conditions (Csikszentmihalyi, 2003, p. 186).”\n\nExperience sampling is therefore an especially powerful way to investigate temporally extended transitional \nlife events which impact an individual’s experience of the world, such as divorce, unemployment, childbirth, \nentering the workforce, and retirement. Experience sampling can also be used to investigate classes of \nbehaviors and attitudes in virtually any domain from social interactions and buying to health, well being, \nlife satisfaction, and education (Riediger, 2010). The method has also been used in public health to examine \nbehaviors such as binge eating, alcohol and drug consumption, rates of sedentary activity, and the special \nneeds of physically disabled children and adolescents.\n\n\n
