Attachment Preference in Auditory German Sentences: Individual Differences and Pragmatic Strategy

Individual Differences in Visual and Auditory Memory^

Two groups were given visual and auditory forma of a digit memory test in a counterbalanced order (auditory-visual group and visualauditory group) under conditions of immediate and 10-second delayed recall. Two control groups were given exclusively either the visual or auditory test. Auditory memory was better than visual for immediate recall; the reverse was true for delayed recall, the intera...

Assessment of Individual Differences in Adult Attachment

Developmental differences in visual and auditory processing of complex sentences.

Children aged 8 through 11 (N = 250) were given a word-by-word sentence task in both the visual and auditory modes. The sentences included an object relative clause, a subject relative clause, or a conjoined verb phrase. Each sentence was followed by a true-false question, testing the subject of either the first or second verb. Participants were also given two memory span measures: digit span a...

Pragmatic value and complex sentences

In this paper we investigate to what extent it is possible to determine a reasonable default pragmatic value of complex sentences in a compositional manner, and – when combined with a Boolean semantics – to see under which conditions it gives rise to reasonable predictions. We will discuss several notions of pragmatic value, or relevance, and compare their behavior over complex sentences. We wi...
