Semantic size does not matter: "bigger" words are not recognized faster.
Sereno, O'Donnell, and Sereno (2009) reported that words are recognized faster in a lexical decision task when their referents are physically large than when they are small, suggesting that "semantic size" might be an important variable that should be considered in visual word recognition research and modelling. We sought to replicate their size effect, but failed to find a significant latency ...
متن کاملWhen Size Does Not Matter: Pairing Sites during Meiosis
The alignment of homologous chromosomes that occurs early during prophase of meiosis usually occurs in two stages: a pairing stage where the homologs are roughly aligned and a synapsis stage where homologous chromosomes are aligned precisely and held together by a specialized structure, the synaptonemal complex (SC). Meiosis culminates in the segregation of homologous chromosomes that have been...
متن کاملVariance Explained: Why Size Does Not (Always) Matter
I examine the role of explaining variance in the construction of explanatory theory. Explaining variance can be an insufficient basis for evaluating a theory (Lieberson, 1985). Starting with this insight, I suggest that models that provide explanations of variance do not necessarily provide good explanations of causal mechanisms. I then explore the utility of process models and theories (Mohr, ...

In this issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY, two leading airway investigation groups provide us with rema...
متن کاملBigger does not mean better! We prefer specificity
This paper studies the applicability of word2vec to the task of extracting similar words from small, domain-specific data. Results show that, even though the general tendency of the community is to focus on using more and more data, the specificity of the corpus has much more influence on word2vec results than its size. Actually, when the goal is to automatically detect similar words that are d...
