Where's the orange? Geometric and extra-geometric influences on English children's descriptions of spatial locations.

CHILDREN'S PRODUCTION OF LOCATIVE EXPRESSIONS IN ENGLISH: THE iNFLUENCE OF GEOMETRIC AND EXTRA-GEOMETRIC FACTORS. By LYNN

Where it’s at

As adult native speakers of English, our intuitions about the use of spatial prepositions are quick and sure. However, these intuitions involve attention to a variety of geometric and extra-geometric aspects of the scenes we are describing (Coventry & Garrod, 2004; Feist & Gentner, 2003; Herskovits, 1986; Vandeloise, 2003). Although the role of geometric and extra-geometric factors in the meani...

Spatial Analysis in curved spaces with Non-Euclidean Geometry

The ultimate goal of spatial information, both as part of technology and as science, is to answer questions and issues related to space, place, and location. Therefore, geometry is widely used for description, storage, and analysis. Undoubtedly, one of the most essential features of spatial information is geometric features, and one of the most obvious types of analysis is the geometric type an...

Experimental Study of Geometric Parameters of transverse Steps on High Speed vessels drag at different deadrise angle of the vessels body

By investigating the research in the field of planing vessels, limited research has been conducted to investigate the behavior and other hydromantic parameters. Given that such vessels can have better hydrodynamic performance than similar vessels, research and study is one of the needs and priorities of designers. With this purpose, this study examines the effects of the transverse steps hydrod...

Preferences, Descriptions, and Response Latency to Fractal Images Among Individuals With and Without Schizophrenia

Background: Early simple, low-cost diagnosis of schizophrenia may accelerate the beginning of the treatment process. Here, utilizing the projective tools, including fractal images, are some of the diagnostic aids. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the preferences, descriptions, and response latency to fractal images between schizophrenic and healthy individuals. Materials & Methods: In ...
