Cognitive style and perception: the relationship between category width and speech perception, categorization, and discrimination.
Category width, as defined by Pettigrew's (1958) Category Width Scale, is a cognitive variable that purportedly reveals individual differences in categorization strategy. Subjects differ in terms of broadness and narrowness of judgments of category width--to what extent they will accept exemplars as good instances of a category. We tested the hypothesis that category width would be related to h...
متن کاملHow Parkinson's Disease Affects Non-verbal Communication and Language Processing
In addition to difficulties that affect movement, many adults with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience changes that negatively impact on receptive aspects of their communication. For example, some PD patients have difficulties processing non-verbal expressions (facial expressions, voice tone) and many are less sensitive to ‘non-literal’ or pragmatic meanings of language, at least under certain ...
متن کاملHow Language Processing Constrains (Computational) Natural Language Processing: A Cognitive Perspective
In this paper I aim at sketching out in bare outline a new model/framework of language processing with its implications for natural language processing. Research in theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics and mathematical linguistics has delineated the ways natural language can be represented and modeled. Studies in cognitive (neuro)science, on the other hand, have shown how language...
متن کاملHow Sharp is Occam's Razor? Language Statistics in Cognitive Processing
According to the dominant view in cognitive science, language processing requires perceptual simulation of symbols. Various experiments have shown that words that share a perceptual relationship are processed faster. We have proposed an alternative view in which perceptual cues are encoded in language. However, experiments supporting perceptual simulation or language statistics have focused on ...
متن کاملCategory fluency in psychometric schizotypy: how altering emotional valence and cognitive load affects performance.
INTRODUCTION In clinical high-risk populations, category fluency deficits are associated with conversion to psychosis. However, their utility as clinical risk markers is unclear in psychometric schizotypy, a group experiencing schizophrenia-like traits that is at putative high risk for psychosis. METHODS We examined whether introducing affective or cognitive load, two important stress vulnera...
