Can't narrow down further.

Any ideas?

Fuzzy-trace theory’s concepts of identity judgment, nonidentity judgment, and similarity
judgment provide a unified account of the false-memory phenomena that have been
most commonly studied in children: false-recognition effects and misinformation effects.
False-recognition effects (elevated false-alarm rates for unpresented distractors that preserve
the meanings of presented targets) are due to increased rates of similarity or false
identity judgment about distractors or to decreased rates of nonidentity judgment. Misinformation
effects (erroneous acceptance of misleading postevent information and erroneous
rejection of actual events) are also due to variability in rates of similarity, identity,
and nonidentity judgment. Two experimental paradigms are presented, one for false
recognition (conjoint recognition) and one for misinformation (conjoint misinformation),
that allow investigators to tease apart the contributions of these processes to children’s
false-memory reports. Each paradigm is implemented in a mathematical model that
provides numerical estimates of the processes

[tria mere is not real.it is something that somebody made up. if you want to know the meaning of tria mera you have to watch the movie white noise.]

tria mere is not real.
it is something that somebody made up.
if you want to know the meaning of tria mera you have to watch the movie white noise.

for the people that don't have time to see the movie
the third day(666)if you saved somebody from the death the third day after you saved him/her, she/he willl be by the side of the devil  .

it meens third day, in number it became 666; there is some think if it hapend to any body he 'll be damned by evill after three days!!!

The source of ambiguity is the fact that there are two independent quantifiers within this sentence. Each of them refers to a different word.

Tria Mera  aka  the number 666     but 666 is the number what will reveal the anti-christ:   Revelations 13:18  "Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six".

Take for example William Henry Gates III   beter known as Bill Gates III    translate his name to ASCII values  (his own proramming language)

B  I  L  L  G A T E S 3
66 + 73 + 76 + 76 + 71 + 65 + 84 + 69 + 83 + 3 = 666  So does that mean that Bill Gatesis  the anti-crist who will start the Apocalypse, Doomsday, Gehenna, Judgement Day (and all other names for it) ??  well that is if u believe all whats written  and to be honest all must be look upon with reason and think atleast 10 ways to interpert  some things.

So Basicly 666 has nothing to do with 3 days into becoming Lucifers help on earth    but White Noise 1 & 2  were great movies
 

Well, TRIA MERA is not correct at all. Many members said that TRIA MERA is actually TRITH MERA(Tρίτη Μέρα).

In Greek Tria means Three (3). So it's not correct to say ΤΡΙΑ ΜΕΡΑ = 3 ΜΕΡΑ

It is like you say 3 DAY = THREE DAY instead of THIRD DAY = 3rd DAY

All this stuff has been modified obviously to fit the purposes of this movie.

If you want to count days the right way to count them is

Πρώτη MERA
Δεύτερη MERA
ΤΡΙΤΗ MERA
Τέταρτη MERA
Πέμπτη MERA
Έκτη MERA of this year.... etc.

When I first heard TRIA MERA, I couldn't believe that.

Well, in my opinion, the only true thing in this movie is the Electronic Voice Phenomenon(EVP).

The thing about saving others and cheating death is dumb. According to the movie, when you save someone, you know that within 3 days he will kill innocent people, because he hears voices that tell him to KILL.
That's crazy. The people who are saved on a daily basis KILL on the third day (Tρίτη Μέρα), then we would all be dead.

Greetings and Many Regards from Greece.

I wish everyone would realize it's a myth. In reality, if you save someone, you were meant to. Allison Dubois would be dead or in "tria mera" already if it was possible.  Honestly, she dreams about people in danger, already dead, etc.  She even knows how people are going to die, but not always when.  I personally have had dreams of what friends are just about to go into.   I believe that humans have a spiritual connection that is almost unexplainable.  But tria mera really does sound like a superstion. I believe in crazy things, but that's just too crazy for me, lol.  But it's great fiction

On a side note, if we were forbidden to help people in need, or near death, then what's the point of having doctors, nurses, or EMT's?  Heck, they'd all be going through Tria Mera! The world would be in chaos!  Unless they're immune and we don't know it. Dang, we could really go off on a tangent.

from the research that i did...that is what it means...i never said that you can't help people...all i said that the theory of Tria Mera is that, if you save someone from death, then  you cheat death out of a soul...and death will come back and collect what was his to begin with.  Doesn't mean it really happens, just that is what the myth is. Now whether you believe it or not is up to you. 

Wow!

from tria mera to film criticism!

That's one of this site goals!

so you think helping people in need isn't necessary?
