The lexical decision task is probably the most common laboratory visual word identification task together with the naming task. In the usual setup, participants need to press the "yes" button when the stimulus is a word and the "no" button when the stimulus is not a word. A number of studies have employed this task with developing readers; however, error rates and/or response times tend to be q...

The author previously [16,15] defined CSP-like operational semantics whose main restrictions were the automatic promotion of most τ actions, no cloning of running processes, and no negative premises in operational semantic rules. He showed that every operator with such an operational semantics can be translated into CSP and therefore has a semantics in every model of CSP. In this paper we demon...

A k_n Latin rectangle is a k_n matrix of entries from [1, 2, ..., n] such that no symbol occurs twice in any row or column. An intercalate is a 2_2 Latin subrectangle. Let N(R) be the number of intercalates in R, a randomly chosen k_n Latin rectangle. We obtain a number of results about the distribution of N(R) including its asymptotic expectation and a bound on the probability that N(R)=0. For...

Rhyme processing is reflected in the electrophysiological signals of the brain as a negative deflection for non-rhyming as compared to rhyming stimuli around 450 ms after stimulus onset. Studies have shown that this N450 component is not solely sensitive to rhyme but also responds to other types of phonological overlap. In the present study, we examined whether the N450 component can be used to...
