Effects of Prior Knowledge on Comprehending Text About Learning Strategies
2021
Good knowledge and skills in using different learning strategies is important for learning with understanding and even more critical during distance learning. Findings indicate that students tend to use and value ineffective learning strategies, thus there is need to educate students. This study aimed to analyze the possibility of using refutation text on learning strategies that students can study independently. The study examined how reported use of learning strategies and preexisting beliefs about the effectiveness of rehearsal and comprehension-oriented strategies relate to the comprehension of text about learning strategies, and how text comprehension is related to later use of strateg…
A dynamic adjustment model of saccade lengths in reading for word-spaced orthographies : evidence from simulations and invisible boundary experiments
2021
Contemporary models of eye movement control in reading assume a discrete target word selection process preceding saccade length computation, while the selection itself is assumed to be driven by word identification processes. However, a potentially more parsimonious, dynamic adjustment view allows both next word length and its content (e.g. orthographic) to modulate saccade length in a continuous manner. Based on a recently proposed center-based saccade length account (a new regression model of forward saccade length is introduced and validated in a simulation study. Further, additional simulations and gaze-contingent invisible boundary experiments were used to study the cognitive mechanism…

Digital content marketing in B2B contexts: The drivers of engagement and electronic word of mouth communication at international trade shows
2023
El potencial que representan las redes sociales como una herramienta de marketing es indiscutible, permiten compartir información, construir redes, e influir en consumidores y marcas. Aún más, las redes sociales contribuyen al engagement empresa a empresa (B2B por sus siglas en inglés), ofreciendo un entorno perfecto para su desarrollo. En este sentido, la literatura en marketing ha reconocido la utilidad de las redes sociales en la promoción de ferias comerciales internacionales (ITS por sus siglas en inglés) empresa a empresa. Adicionalmente, en tiempos de crisis como lo es el COVID-19, la comunicación es uno de los principales desafíos en la gestión de emergencias, y las redes sociales s…
Effects of Grammatical Structure of Compound Words on Word Recognition in Chinese
2018
Two lexical priming experiments were conducted to examine effects of grammatical structure of Chinese two-constituent compounds on their recognition. The target compound words conformed to two types of grammatical structure: subordinate and coordinative compounds. Subordinate compounds follow a structure where the first constituent modifies the second constituent (e.g., , meaning snowball); here the meaning of the second constituent (head) is modified by the first constituent (modifier). On the other hand, in coordinative compounds both constituents contribute equally to the word meaning (e.g., , wind and rain, meaning storm where the two constituent equally contribute to the word meaning).…
U or non-U?: A study on social factors and word choices in contemporary British English.
2010
Sosiaaliluokalla, sukupuolella sekä iällä on todistetusti vaikutusta kielenkäyttöön. Niiden vaikutusta on tutkittu puhutussa kielessä ääntämisen sekä sanavalinnan näkökulmista. Ääntämisen ja näiden muuttujien keskinäistä suhdetta on tutkittu hiljattain, mutta sanavalintojen ja sosiaalitekijöiden suhteesta ei ole viimeaikaisia tutkimuksia. Koska kieli muuttuu jatkuvasti, tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää sosiaalitekijöiden sekä sanavalintojen suhdetta nykyaikaisessa brittienglannissa. Tutkimus perustui Kate Foxin kirjaan Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour (2004), jossa Fox jakaa 14 sanaa pareiksi, joista toinen on yläluokkainen ja toinen alaluokkainen termi.…

Typical and Atypical Development of Visual Expertise for Print as Indexed by the Visual Word N1 (N170w) : A Systematic Review
2022
The visual word N1 (N170w) is an early brain ERP component that has been found to be a neurophysiological marker for print expertise, which is a prelexical requirement associated with reading development. To date, no other review has assimilated existing research on reading difficulties and atypical development of processes reflected in the N170w response. Hence, this systematic review synthesized results and evaluated neurophysiological and experimental procedures across different studies about visual print expertise in reading development. Literature databases were examined for relevant studies from 1995 to 2020 investigating the N170w response in individuals with or without reading disor…
PAROLE MIGRANTI TRA ORIENTE E OCCIDENTE
2015
L’immagine che oggi il Mediterraneo offre è lungi dall’essere rassicurante. Ai nostri giorni si può dire che le sue opposte rive non abbiano in comune che le loro insoddisfazioni. E sempre più si percepisce questo mare come spazio di attraversamenti intollerati. Percepire il Mediterraneo partendo dal suo passato rimane tuttavia un’abitudine tenace, e a volte viene da pensare che la retrospettiva prevalga sulla prospettiva. La retrospettiva è però irrinunciabile, oggi più che mai. E lo è nel momento in cui la realizzazione di una convivenza in seno ai territori multietnici, là dove si incrociano e si mescolano culture, religioni, lingue diverse, conosce sotto i nostri occhi uno smacco crudel…
