Continuing the work begun in [2], we investigate the relationships among selective, normal and pleasant ideals. Our major result is that any selective ideal extending NSκ is normal.

In general, sad music is thought to cause us to experience sadness, which is considered an unpleasant emotion. As a result, the question arises as to why we listen to sad music if it evokes sadness. One possible answer to this question is that we may actually feel positive emotions when we listen to sad music. This suggestion may appear to be counterintuitive; however, in this study, by dividin...

The autobiographical memory literature has established that people remember poorly unpleasant, relative to pleasant, life events. We complemented this literature with a theoretical model – the mnemic neglect model – and an experimental paradigm that exerts tight control over the to-be-remembered material. Participants recall poorly self-threatening feedback compared to self-affirming or other-r...

Previous research on mood dependent memory (MDM) suggests that the more one must rely on internal resources, rather than on external aids, to generate both the target events and the cues required for their retrieval, the more likely is one's memory for these events to be mood dependent. To instantiate this "do-it-yourself" principle, three experiments were conducted in which Ss experiencing eit...

In this paper, we present a trace semantics based on graphs: nodes represent the events of a program’s execution, and edges represent dependencies among the events. The style is reminiscent of partially ordered models [Pra84, Win86], though we do not generally require properties like transitivity or acyclicity. Concurrency and sequentiality are defined using variations on separating conjunction...
