One experiment provided evidence in support of Gibson, Pearlmutter, Canseco-Gonzalez, and Hickok's (1996) claim that a recency preference applies to Spanish relative clause attachments, contrary to the claim made by Cuetos and Mitchell (1988). Spanish speakers read stimuli involving either two or three potential attachment sites in which the same lexical content of the two-site conditions appea...

An experimental study dedicated to structurally ambiguous sentences processing was carried out. We analyzed the case of participial construction attachment to a complex noun phrase. In Experiment 1, we used self-paced reading technique which enables to measure reading times of each word in a sentence and error rates in the interpretation of the sentences. Error rates in locally ambiguous senten...

Children form a strong attachment to their caregiver--even when that caretaker is abusive. Paradoxically, despite the trauma experienced within this relationship, the child develops a preference for trauma-linked cues--a phenomenon known as trauma bonding. Although infant trauma compromises neurobehavioral development, the mechanisms underlying the interaction between infant trauma bonding (i.e...

This study was about peer attachment and learning styles being moderated by a sense of belonging among students during the COVID-19 era. Using an analytical cross-sectional survey design, 284 final-year undergraduates were selected through stratified-proportionate convenient sampling procedures. Data gathered from respondents using Learning Preference Scale (Owens & Straton, 1980), Adol...

Seventeen sets of opposite sex twins, 13 to 14 months old, were observed in a playroom situation with their mothers. Attachment behaviors, toy preference, style of play, and activity level were recorded. Analysis of four attachment behaviors indicated that girls looked at, vocalized to, and maintained proximity with their mothers significantly more often than did their brothers. Girls also touc...

Place attachment and recreation experience preferences (REP) have received increasing attention in natural resource management, with previous literature (Anderson & Fulton, 2008; Kyle, Mowen, & Tarrant, 2004) indicating that REP predicts place attachment development. This study expands current insight into the relationship between the two concepts. Specifically, we tested two predictive models:...

Using the structural priming paradigm, the present study explores predictions made by the implicit prosody hypothesis (IPH) by testing whether an implicit prosodic boundary generated from a silently read sentence influences attachment preference for a novel, subsequently read sentence. Results indicate that such priming does occur, as evidenced by an effect on relative clause attachment. In par...

To resolve structural ambiguities in syntactic analysis of natural language, which are caused by prepositional phrase attachment, relative clause attachment, and so on, we developed an experimental system called tile Dependency Anal!lzcr. The system uses instances of dependency structures extracted froth a terminology dictionary as a knowledge ba.~e. Structural (attachment) ambiguity is represe...

With increased concern for environmental and social issues, consumers the apparel industry have become more interested in topic of sustainability. Numerous brands strive to reposition sustainability by employing credible sources maintaining information transparency get consumers’ recognition. By stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) framework, this study experimented with how positioning (EPA vs. ...

Abstract Using both offline and online measures, the present study investigates attachment resolution in relative clauses English natives (L1) nonnatives (L2). We test how clause interacts with linguistic factors participant-level individual differences. Previous L1 studies have demonstrated a low preference also an “ambiguity advantage” suggesting that L1ers may not as strong is sometimes clai...
