متن کاملToward a formal theory of flexible spatial behavior: geometric category biases generalize across pointing and verbal response types.
Three experiments tested whether geometric biases--biases away from perceived reference axes--reported in spatial recall tasks with pointing responses generalized to a recognition task that required a verbal response. Seven-year-olds and adults remembered the location of a dot within a rectangle and then either reproduced its location or verbally selected a matching choice dot from a set of col...

متن کاملToward a Universal Translator of Verbal Probabilities
When forecasters and decision-makers use different phrases to refer to the same event, there is opportunity for errors in communication.! In an effort to facilitate the communication process, we investigated various ways of "translating" a forecaster's verbal probabilities to a decision-maker's probability phrases.! We describe a blueprint for a general translator of verbal probabilities and re...
