Canestrari, Carla; Bianchi, Ivana – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
According to the cognitive approach to humor, the comprehension of humorous texts implies recognizing an incongruity and resolving it. This article studies whether the cognitive process involved in the recognition of incongruity is affected by the conditions that make contrariety evident or only analytically recognizable in the perceptual domain.…

Harris, Celia B.; Keil, Paul G.; Sutton, John; Barnier, Amanda J.; McIlwain, Doris J. F. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Transactive memory theory describes the processes by which benefits for memory can occur when remembering is shared in dyads or groups. In contrast, cognitive psychology experiments demonstrate that social influences on memory disrupt and inhibit individual recall. However, most research in cognitive psychology has focused on groups of strangers…

Jordan, J. Scott – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
Recent research on perception-action coupling indicates the following: (a) Actions are planned in terms of the distal effects they are to produce and, (b) planning and perception share common neural resources. An immediate implication of such dual functionality is that perception entails forward-looking (i.e., intentional) content. This article…

Fox Tree, Jean E.; Mayer, Sarah A. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
In 2 spontaneous speech experiments, this study found that multiple perspectives improved overhearers' abilities to select abstract shapes from an array, although single-perspective descriptions were more detailed. Prior findings that overhearers performed better when listening in on dialogues (Fox Tree, 1999) can best be understood as an…

van der Sluis, Ielka; Krahmer, Emiel – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2007
This article presents a new computational model for the generation of multimodal referring expressions (REs), based on observations in human communication. The algorithm is an extension of the graph-based algorithm proposed by Krahmer, van Erk, and Verleg (2003) and makes use of a so-called Flashlight Model for pointing. The Flashlight Model…
