Second and foreign language fluency from a cognitive perspective : inefficiency and control of attention in lexical access

2017

The present dissertation focuses on the fluency of second and foreign language (L2). Second and foreign language use is often assessed by its fluency. However, the connections between language proficiency and fluency are far from clear. The fluency reasearch has tried to establish these connections, but results are varied. In the current thesis, this question is explored within the theoretical framework of Norman Segalowitz’s division of three types of fluency: cognitive, utterance, and perceived fluency. The overall proposition here is that in relation to L2 proficiency, cognitive fluency provides important insights. This is based on the theories of limited cognitive resources, which state…

TallVocabL2Fi : A Tall Dataset of 15 Finnish L2 Learners’ Vocabulary

2022

Previous work concerning measurement of second language learners has tended to focus on the knowledge of small numbers of words, often geared towards measuring vocabulary size. This paper presents a “tall” dataset containing information about a few learners’ knowledge of many words, suitable for evaluating Vocabulary Inventory Prediction (VIP) techniques, including those based on Computerised Adaptive Testing (CAT). In comparison to previous comparable datasets, the learners are from varied backgrounds, so as to reduce the risk of overfitting when used for machine learning based VIP. The dataset contains both a self-rating test and a translation test, used to derive a measure of reliability…

Predictors of changing patterns of adherence to containment measures during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic: an international longitudinal study

2023

Abstract Background Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official public health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceived social support) predict the change in adherence to COVID-19 containment strategies. Method In wave 1 of data collection, adults from eight geographical regions completed online surveys beginning in April 2020, and wave 2 began in June and ended in September 2020. Hypothesized pre…

Trokšņa piesārņojums Cēsu pilsētas parkos

2020

Maģistra darbā novērtēts trokšņa līmenis Cēsu pilsētas dabas un apstādījumu teritorijās. Pilsētas zaļajā zonā ietilpst parki, skvēri, iekškvartāli un ielu stādījumi. Parki kalpo, kā iespēja cilvēkiem, nedodoties ārpus pilsētas, atpūsties vidē, kas pretstatā no pilsētas ir klusāka, apzaļumota un piemērota kā pieaugušajiem, tā bērniem. Maģistra darbā veikts trokšņa līmeņa novērtējums izmantojot mērījumu metodes, apskatītas un analizētas diennakts un sezonālās parametru svārstības, to ietekmējošie faktori, t.sk. automašīnu plūsma blakus zaļajai infrastruktūrai, kā arī veikta satiksmes trokšņa modelēšana. Darba pētnieciskā daļa realizēta Cēsīs – Cēsu Pils parkā, Maija parkā, Ruckas parkā un Rož…

Data from: Parasitic wasp-associated symbiont affects plant-mediated species interactions between herbivores

2018

Microbial mutualistic symbiosis is increasingly recognised as a hidden driving force in the ecology of plant–insect interactions. Although plant‐associated and herbivore‐associated symbionts clearly affect interactions between plants and herbivores, the effects of symbionts associated with higher trophic levels has been largely overlooked. At the third‐trophic level, parasitic wasps are a common group of insects that can inject symbiotic viruses (polydnaviruses) and venom into their herbivorous hosts to support parasitoid offspring development. Here, we show that such third‐trophic level symbionts act in combination with venom to affect plant‐mediated interactions by reducing colonisation o…
