Previous studies have revealed surprising and persistent cross-cultural variations in overconfidence, whereby respondents in some Asian cultures (e.g., Chinese) exhibit markedly higher degrees of overconfidence than respondents in other cultures (e.g., in the United States and Japan). Most of those demonstrations have entailed general knowledge tasks (e.g., answering We are especially grateful ...

Masked translation priming between languages with different scripts exhibits a marked asymmetry in lexical decision, with much stronger priming from L1 to L2 than from L2 to L1. This finding was confirmed in a lexical decision task with Chinese–English bilinguals who were late learners of English. Following a suggestion made by Bradley (1991), the experiment was repeated using a speeded episodi...

sparked my interested in this research and who have remained a constant source of information throughout the study. I also wish to thank Shelly Bland for her hard work and assistance in gathering and entering the data for this study. I would like to thank the Attention and Working Memory Lab at Georgia Tech for the use of their cognitive tasks and for their assistance in contacting participants...

34 Recent studies have associated increasing temporal expectations with synchronisation 35 of higher frequency oscillations and suppression of lower frequencies. In this experiment, we 36 explore a proposal that low-frequency oscillations provide a mechanism for regulating 37 temporal expectations. We used a speeded go/no-go task, and manipulated temporal 38 expectations by changing the probabi...

In this paper we cluster 330 classical music pieces collected from MusicNet database based on their musical note sequence. We use shingling and chord trajectory matrices to create signature for each music piece and performed spectral clustering to find the clusters. Based on different resolution, the output clusters distinctively indicate composition from different classical music era and diffe...
