Retrieving the names of friends, loved ones, and famous people is a fundamental human ability. This ability depends on the left anterior temporal lobe (ATL), where lesions can be associated with impaired naming of people regardless of modality (e.g., picture or voice). This finding has led to the idea that the left ATL is a modality-independent convergence region for proper naming. Hypotheses f...

Background and Purpose: Research indicates that many kinship families are in need of financial, emotional and intervention services (Linsk et al, 2009; Sakai, Lin, & Flores, 2011). Identifying their needs, however, is challenging due to kin caregivers’ diverse backgrounds and children’s various circumstances in out-of-home placement (Ynacura, 2013). Adding to these challenges is the lack of a r...

Object detection and identification are fundamental to human vision, and there is mounting evidence that objects guide the allocation of visual attention. However, the role of objects in tasks involving multiple modalities is less clear. To address this question, we investigate object naming, a task in which participants have to verbally identify objects they see in photorealistic scenes. We re...

In this paper, we propose a file naming scheme, called HK (Hierarchical-Keyword-based) naming. In file systems, hierarchical naming has been used for these several decades. As the number of files stored in file systems increases, the weakness of hierarchical naming is getting recognized. Some researchers have proposed hybrid naming schemes which introduce attribute-based naming into hierarchica...

In this study, visual-orthographic skills were defined as the ability to recognize whether letters and numerals are correctly oriented. Aims were to investigate whether visual-orthographic skills would contribute independent variance to reading, and whether children with a visual-orthographic deficit would be more impaired readers than similar children without this deficit. Participants were 20...

Stunde Null – this expression is used to indicate the end of German Nazi regime in 1945 and beginning a new Germany. This historical turning point was marked by re-naming former Germany both East West, symbols, institutions, values paraphernalia were taken tip. Naming part iconoclastic attempt undo recent past memory it into negative soon disappear out sight. However, Vergangenheitsbewältigung ...

The work presented here investigated the length effect in nonword reading aloud in order to assess whether that effect is driven by the number of letters in a string or by the number of graphemes in a string. Simulation work with the DualRoute Cascaded (DRC) model (e.g., Coltheart, Curtis, Atkins, & Haller, 1993; Coltheart & Rastle, 1994) uncovered a surprising finding regarding the length effe...
