Person theories: their temporal stability and relation to intertrait inferences.
This article tests whether individual differences in inferring one trait from another (intertrait inferences) can be linked to lay beliefs about the malleability of personality (person theories). It finds that holding the belief that personality is malleable (incremental theory) rather than fixed (entity theory) at the time of inferences is associated with less extreme inferences involving sema...

In early rounds, strategic incentives encourage voting for the weakest competitors. In later rounds, the incentives reverse and the strongest competitors become the logical target. Controlling for other character...
متن کاملLanguage function in a child following mild traumatic brain injury: Evidence from pre- and post-injury language testing.
OBJECTIVE Pre- and post-injury language performance scores following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) were investigated through a replication and subsequent extension of a previous case study where a trend for declining language scores was described based on pre- and post-injury data. METHODS Test norms were used to descriptively analyze pre- and post-morbid language performance and perform...
متن کاملNumerals denote degree quantifiers: Evidence from child language
A large body of work in both the theoretical and experimental literature suggests that upper bound implications in simple sentences with bare numerals are entailments arising from the semantics of the numeral, rather than scalar implicatures of the sort seen with other scalar terms. However, not all semantic analyses of numerals designed to introduce upper bounding entailments in simple sentenc...
