Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded to investigate whether the meaningfulness of experimental stimuli impacted performances during global/local visual tasks. Participants were presented with compound stimuli, based on either meaningful letters, meaningful objects, or meaningless non-objects. The ERP recordings displayed typical early components, P1 and N1, evoked by task-related proce...

human’s life becomes meaningful and valuable when the purpose of his creation becomes true. the investigation of nature’s role in the case of special human’s creation is related to the meaningfulness of human’s life. in this study, first we will explain first nature and second nature with descriptive-analysis method and from mullah sadra’s point of view and then, we explain his view about natur...

A meaningful set of stimuli, such as a sequence of frames from a movie, triggers a set of different experiences. By contrast, a meaningless set of stimuli, such as a sequence of 'TV noise' frames, triggers always the same experience--of seeing 'TV noise'--even though the stimuli themselves are as different from each other as the movie frames. We reasoned that the differentiation of cortical res...

Effects of meaningfulness of structurally similar CVCs on stimulus generalization of eyelid closure." (1963).

This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between discretion street-level bureaucrats and their willingness implement as well client meaningfulness by testing bureaucrat theory in different context. The effect on may differ due perceived supervisory support. Data from 241 (labor inspectors) Malaysian Ministry Human Resources indicated that significantly influences bu...

The present article argues for what is essentially a return to the functionalist approach to investigation of memory. Two experiments demonstrate that the effects of level of processing depend on scaled meaningfulness of the material and study time. Data from those experiments along with data currently in the literature are then reanalyzed to examine the effect of repetitions. Of particular int...

Kielhofner's A Model of Human Occupation was used to guide a study on the effect of occupational behavior (defined as the type, amount, and meaningfulness of one's activities) on life satisfaction in retirees. Seventy-nine volunteers from a variety of settings for the elderly completed a questionnaire about the amount and types of their activities, the meaningfulness of their activities (i.e., ...
