متن کاملSometimes More Is Better, and Sometimes Less Is Better: Task Complexity Moderates the Response Time Accuracy Correlation
This study addresses the relationship between item response time and item accuracy (i.e., the response time accuracy correlation, RTAC) in figural matrices tests. The dual processing account of response time effects predicts negative RTACs in tasks that allow for relatively automatic processing and positive RTACs in tasks that require controlled processing. Contrary to these predictions, severa...

متن کاملMore is Sometimes Less: Succinctness in EL
In logics, there are many ways to represent same facts. With respect to both reasoning and cognitive complexity, some representations are significantly less efficient than others. In this paper, we investigate different means of improving the succinctness of TBoxes expressed in the lightweight description logic EL that forms a basis of some large ontologies used in practice. As a measure of siz...
