Working Memory and Interference Control in Verbal Analogy
We investigated the extent to which individual differences in working memory (WM) and interference control (IC) differentially predicted performance on a verbal analogy task with participants selecting the D-term for each analogy stem (A:B::C: ). We varied the semantic distance of each analogy by having an A:B pair that was either far (LEATHER : SADDLE) or near (PLATINUM : NECKLACE) the correct...
متن کاملRule vs. Analogy in Word Formation
One of the salient properties of language is that it has two faces: dynamic and static. We often attribute the uniqueness of human language to the fact that it can generate infinite number of sentences to express infinite number of propositions, but at the same time it has a finite set of words that are combined to form a sentence. Roughly speaking, the former property can be relegated to synta...
متن کاملClustering Word Pairs to Answer Analogy Questions
We focus on answering word analogy questions by using clustering techniques. The increased performance in answering word similarity questions can have many possible applications, including question answering and information retrieval. We present an analysis of clustering algorithms’ performance on answering word similarity questions. This paper’s contributions can be summarized as: (i) casting ...
متن کاملVerbal Perception and the Word Length Effect
Retrieved-context models have played a crucial role in the understanding of serialposition effects in free recall. In this paper, a simple model in that class is proposed and tested against the case of word-length experiments. In recent years, standard interpretations of the word-length effect have been undermined by a series of experimental results, culminating with data that display an invers...
متن کاملAttention to Detail Predicts Better Verbal Analogy Performance
Prior studies have found equivalent or even better performance on Raven’s Progressive Matrices tasks for those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in comparison to normal controls (e.g., Chen, Planche, & Lemonnier, 2010; Mottron, 2009). We investigated the extent to which subscales of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient would predict better performance on a verbal analogy task in a non-clinical sampl...
