Depth of Automatic Spreading Activation: Mediated Priming Effects in Pronunciation but Not in Lexical Decision

Lexical decision and pronunciation experiments were conducted to investigate whether activation automatically spreads beyond directly associated concepts within the memory network. Prime-target pairs were constructed such that there was a relation between the prime (e.g., lion) and the target (e.g., stripes) only through a mediating concept (e.g., tiger). The lexical decision results yielded fa...

Large-Scale Acquisition of Feature-Based Conceptual Representations from Textual Corpora

Methods for estimating people’s conceptual knowledge have the potential to be very useful to theoretical research on conceptual semantics. Traditionally, feature-based conceptual representations have been estimated using property norm data; however, computational techniques have the potential to build such representations automatically. The automatic acquisition of feature-based conceptual repr...

Sustained eruptions on Enceladus explained by turbulent dissipation in tiger stripes.

Spacecraft observations suggest that the plumes of Saturn's moon Enceladus draw water from a subsurface ocean, but the sustainability of conduits linking ocean and surface is not understood. Observations show eruptions from "tiger stripe" fissures that are sustained (although tidally modulated) throughout each orbit, and since the 2005 discovery of the plumes. Peak plume flux lags peak tidal ex...

Anisotropy for spatial summation of elongated patches of grating: A tale of two tails

Studies of spatial summation often use sinusoidal gratings with blurred edges. When the envelope is elongated (i) along the grating stripes and (ii) at right angles to the grating stripes, we refer to the stimuli as skunk-tails and tiger-tails respectively. Previous work [Polat & Tyler, 1999; Vision Research, 39, 887-895.] has found that sensitivity to skunk-tails is greater than for tiger-tail...
