N400 in orthographic decision tasks

The Acquisition of Orthographic Knowledge: Evidence from the Lexicality Effects on N400

This study aimed to understand how reading ability shapes the lexicality effects on N400. Fifty-three typical developing children from the second to the sixth grades were asked to perform the pronounceability judgment task on a set of Chinese real characters (RC), pseudocharacters (PC) and non-characters (NC), as ERPs were recorded. The cluster-based permutation analysis revealed that children ...

Orthographic neighborhood effects in lexical decision: the effects of nonword orthographic neighborhood size.

The effects of large neighborhoods (neighborhood size) and of higher frequency neighbors (neighborhood frequency) were examined as a function of nonword neighborhood size in lexical decision tasks. According to the multiple read-out model (J. Grainger & A. M. Jacobs, 1996), neighborhood size and neighborhood frequency effects should vary systematically as a function of nonword neighborhood size...

Decision-Making Tasks

Learning Sequential Decision Tasks

This paper presents a new approach called SANE for learning and performing sequential decision tasks. Compared to problem-general heuristics, SANE forms more e ective decision strategies because it learns to utilize domain-speci c information. SANE evolves neural networks through genetic algorithms and can learn in a wide range of domains with minimal reinforcement. SANE's evolution algorithm, ...

Configuring Decision Tasks

In most cases, decision tasks are individual and different decision tasks require different combinations of features. Features can be, for instance, special preference visibilities during the decision process or specific heuristics that support the recommendation of decisions. To find the right features for a decision task it is essential to offer a corresponding configuration functionality. In...
