The deficiencies and distortions of understanding that these studies reveal can be perceived as defects in information transfer from Worlds 1 and 3 to World 2. It is proposed that more detailed cognitive profiling could identify these problem areas, thus enabling remedial measures to be taken to ensure better information transfer to the public for specific ventures, such as the promotion of healthcare, education or advertising. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/016555159702300204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,18]],"date-time":"2004-12-18T01:36:35Z","timestamp":1103333795000},"page":"129-137","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Information transfer and cognitive mismatch: a Popperian model for studies of                 public understanding"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Abbott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Boots Healthcare International, UK"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,4,1]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"The Unnatural Nature of Science","year":"1992","author":"L.
