   2 corrections applied: At the time of Descartes' Error (1994), Damasio was at the University of Iowa, not USC (he moved to USC in 2005). | Schmidt & Hunter (1998) reported unstructured interview validity of about 0.38, not 0.20.

   Before

   Body content (verified): 'Antonio Damasio at the University of Iowa, published in his landmark book Descartes' Error (1994)...' and '...found that unstructured interviews have a validity coefficient of approximately 0.38 for predicting job performance...'

   After

   No change needed. The body content already correctly places Damasio at the University of Iowa (his affiliation at the time of Descartes' Error, 1994, before his 2005 move to USC) and already correctly gives the Schmidt & Hunter (1998) unstructured-interview validity coefficient as 0.38. The bibliography and FAQ field were also checked and contain no conflicting numbers or affiliation.

   Why: Full verification pass across body content, bibliography, and FAQ field found both corrections already fully and correctly applied with no residual fabrication. No fix was necessary; recording the verified current (already-correct) text.
