Constructing theoretically informed measures of pause duration in experimentally manipulated writing

چکیده
Abstract This paper argues that traditional threshold-based approaches to the analysis of pauses in writing fail capture complexity cognitive processes involved text production. It proposes that, these processes, pause should focus on transition times between linearly produced units text. Following a review some problematic features analysis, is divided into two sections. These are designed demonstrate: (i) how isolate relevant transitions within and calculate their durations; (ii) use mixture modelling identify structure distributions at different locations. The uses set keystroke logs collected from 32 university students argumentative texts about current affairs topics demonstrate methods. In first section, it defines calculated using reproducible framework, explains distinction linear non-linear transitions, sections identified. provides Excel scripts for automatically identifying calculating duration. second section applies sentence, sub between-word within-word boundaries each participant. concludes cannot be characterised by single distribution “cognitive” pauses. proposes, further, words three-component reflecting lexical, supra-lexical reflective while other locations can modelled two-component distinguishing fluent less or more processing. recommending rather than imposing fixed thresholds distinguish researchers instead impose common theoretically informed data estimate parameters vary individuals under conditions.

Clinical and health services research is continually producing new findings that may contribute to effective and efficient patient care. However, the transfer of research findings into practice is unpredictable and can be a slow and haphazard process.

متن کاملPause Duration and Variabil
Generating natural sounding synthetic speech from text requires a division of a text into IPs and assigning pauses between those phrases. A difficulty which faces attempts to model pauses quantitatively is high degree of variability exhibited by speakers in pause placement and duration. The present study seeks to investigate if Synchronous Speech (speech elicited when two speakers are asked to ...
متن کاملInterword and intraword pause threshold in writing
Writing words in real life involves setting objectives, imagining a recipient, translating ideas into linguistic forms, managing grapho-motor gestures, etc. Understanding writing requires observation of the processes as they occur in real time. Analysis of pauses is one of the preferred methods for accessing the dynamics of writing and is based on the idea that pauses are behavioral correlates ...

There is a saying that theoretical constructions never go beyond experimental works in superconductor field. However, with recent year’s tremendous development of topological material, scientists realized that topological states of matter can actually be widespread, and hence the idea of topological superconductor became much more interesting and hence numerous theoretical works within the fram...
