Nexing Corpus: a corpus of verbal protocols on syllogistic reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe the Nexing Corpus and report on the tools implemented and the tasks undertaken for its development. The Nexing Corpus includes (i) a collection of written transcriptions of verbal data elicited during a psycholinguistic experiment on syllogistic reasoning; and (ii) performance data concerning that experiment, such as latencies, confidence levels and accuracy of answers provided. The verbal productions recorded in the corpus are of a specific linguistic type that is seldom, if at all, represented in corpora. These data are relevant for the development of human language technologies aimed at modeling this type of linguistic behavior, which is not uncommon in evolved interactions of cooperative agents. This corpus with thinking aloud data on syllogistic reasoning is also an important source of material for cognitive science, in particular for research on the nature of human deductive reasoning.

The probability heuristics model of syllogistic reasoning.
A probability heuristic model (PHM) for syllogistic reasoning is proposed. An informational ordering over quantified statements suggests simple probability based heuristics for syllogistic reasoning. The most important is the "min-heuristic": choose the type of the least informative premise as the type of the conclusion. The rationality of this heuristic is confirmed by an analysis of the proba...

Background: Many hormones are involved in the regulation of reproduction. Leptin hormone which is mainly secreted by adipose tissue plays an important role in energy homeostasis and reproduction. It seems that leptin is an important linkage between body metabolism and reproductive system. Moreover, it has been shown that leptin and leptin receptor express in reproductive organs of some species....
متن کاملHow textbooks (and learners) get it wrong: A corpus study of modal auxiliary verbs
Many elements contribute to the relative difficulty in acquiring specific aspects of English as a foreign language (Goldschneider & DeKeyser, 2001). Modal auxiliary verbs (e.g. could, might), are examples of a structure that is difficult for many learners. Not only are they particularly complex semantically, but especially in the Malaysian context ...
