Reaching Delinquents through Reading

Reaching through the genome.

Advances in genomics research have called forth new strategies for patenting DNA sequences. Gene patenting, which began inconspicuously in the early days of the biotechnology industry in the 1970s and 1980s, did not generate significant public controversy until the advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing in the 1990s. By this point, it was such a well-established practice that categorical chal...

Reaching Semantic Agreements through Interaction

We address the complex problem of semantic heterogeneity in multiagent communication by looking at semantics related to interaction. Our approach takes the state of the interaction in which agents are engaged as the basis on which the semantic alignment rests. In this paper we describe an implementation of this technique and provide experimental results on interactions of varying complexity.

Is Reading Mandatory? Reaching for Evidence in the Stroop Paradigm

Accounts of the Stroop effect postulate that participants read the words despite instructions to ignore them and focus on the print colour. Recent research, however, suggests that context and task demands can moderate the extent of reading in Stroop experiments (e.g., Melara & Algom, 2003). In the current study we employ an innovative experimental methodology to investigate the depth and freque...
