Illusory conjunctions in French: The nature of sublexical units in visual word recognition

2005

The respective influence of orthographic redundancy (Seidenberg, 1987) and syllable boundaries (Rapp, 1992) on reading units in French was tested in three experiments, using the illusory conjunction paradigm (Prinzmetal, Treiman, & Rho, 1986). Bigram boundaries were defined according to bigram frequencies. The data showed that the syllable effect was attenuated or cancelled when syllable boundaries did not coincide with bigram boundaries. Reading units were defined by syllable and orthographic information. The implications of such findings for the dual route theory and the PDP model are discussed.

Guide to Practical Work with the Monte Carlo Method

2002

The guide is structured such that we proceed from the “easy” simulation methods and algorithms to the more sophisticated. For each method the algorithms are presented by the technique of stepwise refinement. We first present the idea and the basic outline. From then on we proceed by breaking up the larger logical and algorithmic structures into smaller ones, until we have reached the level of single basic statements. Sometimes we may elect not to go to such a depth and the reader is asked to fill in the gaps.

Data Banks and Multivariate Statistics in Physical Anthropology

1984

In recent decades, the fields of administration and economy, the press and - last but not least - the sciences have been characterized by an “explosion of knowledge”, and, as a consequence, by the problem of managing the rapidly increasing mass of information. It has been estimated that knowledge doubles each five years, and even that the interval of doubling seems to decrease. The main response to this challenge are computerized and structured data collections called data banks. “Data banks are systems of data collections which are organized according to logical and/or formal criteria; they should make it possible to reproduce the data of the total collection arranged according to differen…

Can we see syllables in monosyllabic words? A study with illusory conjunctions

2009

Mathey, Zagar, Doignon, and Seigneuric (2006) reported an inhibitory effect of syllabic neighbourhood in monosyllabic French words suggesting that syllable units mediate the access to lexical representations of monosyllabic stimuli. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the perception of syllable units in monosyllabic stimuli. The illusory conjunction paradigm was used to examine perceptual groupings of letters. Experiment 1 showed that potential syllables in monosyllabic French words (e.g., BI in BICHE) affected the pattern of illusory conjunctions. Experiment 2 indicated that the perceptual parsing in monosyllabic items was due to syllable information and orthographic redundancy. …

The forgotten mathematical legacy of Peano

2019

International audience; The formulations that Peano gave to many mathematical notions at the end of the 19th century were so perfect and modern that they have become standard today. A formal language of logic that he created, enabled him to perceive mathematics with great precision and depth. He described mathematics axiomatically basing the reasoning exclusively on logical and set-theoretical primitive terms and properties, which was revolutionary at that time. Yet, numerous Peano’s contributions remain either unremembered or underestimated.

Algebraic aspects and coherence conditions for conjoined and disjoined conditionals

2019

We deepen the study of conjoined and disjoined conditional events in the setting of coherence. These objects, differently from other approaches, are defined in the framework of conditional random quantities. We show that some well known properties, valid in the case of unconditional events, still hold in our approach to logical operations among conditional events. In particular we prove a decomposition formula and a related additive property. Then, we introduce the set of conditional constituents generated by $n$ conditional events and we show that they satisfy the basic properties valid in the case of unconditional events. We obtain a generalized inclusion-exclusion formula and we prove a …

Was King Arthur a King by Definition?

1988

Current research in knowledge representation distinguishes between descriptional and assertional interpretations of semantic nets. This paper explores theoretical and applicative problems, which arise from that distinction in a historic domain. A prolog implementation of KL-ONE is used as a vehicle to compare the various alternatives available to represent knowledge related to single elements of the domain insertion or not of this knowledge in semantic nets in their descriptional sense. The final section of the paper discusses the problem in relation to the theories concerning the functioning of proper names from a logical and philosophical point of view.

Sakārtojuma saikļi dažādu reģistru tekstu saliktos sakārtotos teikumos

2017

Šajā pētījumā tiek analizēti sakārtojuma saikļi saliktos sakārtotos teikumos Britu Nacionālajā Korpusā. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt sakārtojuma saikļu, kas saista neatkarīgas teikuma daļas saliktos sakārtotos teikumos tekstos, kas sagrupēti četros dažādos reģistros (akadēmiski teksti, daiļliteratūra, laikraksti un sarunas) Britu Nacionālajā Korpusā, biežumu un dažādību. Teorētiskā pētījuma metode, kas tika izmantota, ir teoriju par sakārtojuma saikļiem, saliktiem sakārtotiem teikumiem, reģistru un korpusu salīdzināšana. Sekojošas kvantitatīvās pētījuma metodes tika izmantotas – pirmkārt, saliktu sakārtotu teikumu ieguve no korpusa, pēc tam tika izmantotas tādas aprakstošās statistikas metode…

Las inteligencias múltiples en la escuela

2002

During many years has prevailed the idea of intelligence as a single problem solving ability (factor g) considered the best predictor of student’s academic achievement. Recently, researches have begun to take an alternative view of the problem, understanding it is a multidimensional construct. Multiple intelligences (MI) theory proposed by Gardner (1983) takes into account seven talents or skills individuals appear to have in certain amount. These latent bio-psychological potentials are stable and they are mantained through life. Theory of MI proposes that every person learns in relation to them. MI theory has many educational applications, however, very few efforts have been made to verify…
