Feng, Manni; Sun, Dan; Zhang, Ye – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
It hasn't been clear how holistic and analytic processing contribute to character recognition yet. The current study focused on two issues: (1) whether configural processing is sufficient to support the performance of identifying characters in absence of analytic processing; (2) whether configural processing involves multiple levels of character…

Liu, Mingya; Barthel, Mathias – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
In this paper, the meaning and processing of the German conditional connectives (CCs) such as "wenn" 'if' and "nur wenn" 'only if' are investigated. In Experiment 1, participants read short scenarios containing a conditional sentence (i.e., If P, Q.) with "wenn"/"nur wenn" 'if/only if' and a confirmed or…

Lee, Eun-Kyung; Lam, Tuan Q.; Watson, Duane G. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Although it is clear that unaccented referring expressions are associated with given information in a discourse, it is less clear what aspects of givenness are relevant. We examine whether listeners' expectation of givenness depends on repetition of a referring expression or on contextual evocation of a referent. The results from two visual world…

Fairchild, Sarah; Papafragou, Anna – Cognitive Science, 2021
In sentences such as "Some dogs are mammals," the literal semantic meaning ("Some 'and possibly all' dogs are mammals") conflicts with the pragmatic meaning ("'Not all' dogs are mammals," known as a "scalar implicature"). Prior work has shown that adults vary widely in the extent to which they adopt the…

Wan, Qian; Crossley, Scott; Banawan, Michelle; Balyan, Renu; Tian, Yu; McNamara, Danielle; Allen, Laura – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
The current study explores the ability to predict argumentative claims in structurally-annotated student essays to gain insights into the role of argumentation structure in the quality of persuasive writing. Our annotation scheme specified six types of argumentative components based on the well-established Toulmin's model of argumentation. We…

Botarleanu, Robert-Mihai; Dascalu, Mihai; Watanabe, Micah; McNamara, Danielle S.; Crossley, Scott Andrew – Grantee Submission, 2021
The ability to objectively quantify the complexity of a text can be a useful indicator of how likely learners of a given level will comprehend it. Before creating more complex models of assessing text difficulty, the basic building block of a text consists of words and, inherently, its overall difficulty is greatly influenced by the complexity of…

Garrido, Margarida V.; Prada, Marília; Simão, Cláudia; Semin, Gün R. – Cognitive Science, 2019
In two experiments, we examined the impact of color on cognitive performance by asking participants to categorize stimuli presented in three different colors: red, green, and gray (baseline). Participants were either asked to categorize the meaning of words as related to the concepts of "go" or "stop" (Experiment 1) or to…

Afonso, Olivia; Suárez-Coalla, Paz; Cuetos, Fernando; Ibáñez, Agustín; Sedeño, Lucas; García, Adolfo M. – Cognitive Science, 2019
Abstract Several studies have illuminated how processing manual action verbs (MaVs) affects the programming or execution of concurrent hand movements. Here, to circumvent key confounds in extant designs, we conducted the first assessment of motor-language integration during handwriting--a task in which linguistic and motoric processes are…

Schotter, Elizabeth R.; von der Malsburg, Titus; Leinenger, Mallorie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Recent studies using the gaze-contingent boundary paradigm reported a "reversed preview benefit"--shorter fixations on a target word when an unrelated preview was easier to process than the fixated target (Schotter & Leinenger, 2016). This is explained via "forced fixations"--short fixations on words that would ideally be…

Yunus Kökver; Hüseyin Miraç Pektas; Harun Çelik – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
This study aims to determine the misconceptions of teacher candidates about the greenhouse effect concept by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm instead of human experts. The Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD) process model was preferred in the study where the Analyse, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate (ADDIE) instructional design…

Ntabo, Victor Ondara; Onyango, James Ogola; Ndiritu, Nelson Ng'arua – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2022
Food is useful in the transference of semantic aspects that are vital in the construction of masculinity in society. Consequently, foodsemic metaphors that aid in the conceptualization of "omosacha" (a man) are pervasive in Ekegusii. Metaphor use may, however, present difficulties in comprehension due to the various interpretations that…
