Can participants retrieve information about the 2nd of 2 stimuli while they are processing the 1st? Four experiments suggest they can. Reaction times to the 1st stimulus were faster if it came from the same category as the 2nd than if it came from a different category. This category-match effect was observed for letter-digit discrimination (Experiment 1), magnitude and parity judgments about di...

Recent research indicates that moral judgment and 1st-order theory of mind abilities are related. What is not known, however, is how 2nd-order theory of mind is related to moral judgment. In the present study, we extended previous findings by administering a morally relevant theory of mind task (an accidental transgressor) to 4- to 7-year-old Chinese children (N = 79) and analyzing connections ...

test day milk records of a holstein dairy farm collected during years 2004 to 2006 on 142 cows in the 1st lactation vs. 140 cows in the 2nd lactation were used in this research. there were real milk yields of cows available in each part of lactation in this farm making it possible to compare functions based on the new criteria (squared error of estimation). five functions were compared to estim...

Comparisons of 1st- and 2nd-order stereopsis have typically employed isolated, or local, narrow-band targets. While these experiments have revealed a great deal about the distinction between these two types of processing, such stimuli are rare in the natural environment. Instead, local disparity signals are more likely to be part of extended surfaces that very smoothly in depth. The aim of the ...

When 2 masked targets are presented in a rapid sequence, correct identification of the 1st hinders identification of the 2nd. Visual masking of the 2nd target plays a critical role during this 2nd-target deficit, or "attentional blink" (AB). The object substitution hypothesis (B. Giesbrecht & V. Di Lollo, 1998) predicts that late-stage visual processes involved in object substitution mediate ma...

1D-3V PIC Simulations (XPDP1) XPDP1, a 1D-3V PIC-MCC code (Verboncoeur et al., 1993), was used to simulate current-driven DC discharges. • leap-frog integration used for particle motion (2nd order accurate) • linear weighting of particles and fields used • 2nd-order finite difference solution of Poisson’s equation with 2nd-order center difference and boundary conditions to obtain the electric f...

afghanistan is a land-locked country that depends on its neighboring countries to transit essential commodities. iran, for its proximity and access to the high seas, seems to have the most economical route to meet afghanistan’s needs. however, this country did not pursue such an economical route due to its western tendencies and its foreign policies which were completely different with iran’s. ...
