An explanation of the length effect for rotated words
نویسنده
چکیده
We review a model of letter-position encoding, wherein position is tagged by timing of firing relative to an underlying oscillatory cycle. We show how this model can account for data concerning reaction times for lexical decision on rotated letter strings.

An item/order trade-off explanation of word length and generation effects.
The item-order hypothesis suggests that under certain conditions increased item processing can lead to deficits in order processing, and that this produces a dissociation in performance between item and order tasks. The generation effect is one such example. The word length effect is seen as another instance where this trade-off might be observed. The following experiments compare word length a...
متن کاملAb Initio Studies of Rotation and Solvent Effects for two important membrane molecules: DPPC and DMPC
DPPC (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine) and DMPC (dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine) are taken asphospholipids with an equal polar heads and with the difference in the length of hydrocarbonchains. Results obtain from the structural optimization of the isolated DPPC and DMPC in the gasphase, at the Hartree-Fock level of theory by means of STO-3g,3-21G, 6-31G and 6-31G* basissets. the most important d...
متن کاملCircularly Polarized Circular Slot Antenna Array Using Sequentially Rotated Feed Network
This paper presents the design, simulation, and measurement of two low-cost broadband circularly polarized (CP) printed antennas: a single element and an array at C band. The proposed single element antenna is excited by an L-shaped strip with a tapered end, located along the circular-slot diagonal line in the back plane. From the array experimental results, the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth can r...
متن کاملWord length effects are not due to proactive interference.
In immediate serial recall short words are better recalled than long words. The word length effect has become pivotal in the development of short-term memory models. The current research tests one explanation of the word length effect; that it is related to proactive interference (PI). We report two experiments in which the relationship is directly tested. In the first experiment we show that w...
متن کاملIs spoken duration a sufficient explanation of the word length effect?
The word length effect is one of the cornerstones of trace decay plus rehearsal models (TDR) of memory. Words of long spoken duration take longer to rehearse than words of short spoken duration and as such suffer more decay and are thus less well recalled. The current experiment manipulates both syllable length and spoken duration within words of fixed syllable length in an aim to test the assu...
