Predicability (ease of predication) as semantic substrate of imageability in reading and retrieval.
It was proposed by Jones (1985) that the apparent influence of a word's imageability upon the probability of the word being read correctly by a deep dyslexic person could be understood in terms of an underlying semantic variable, ease of predication (also termed predicability). In a recent critique, de Mornay Davies and Funnell (2000) claim to have identified a number of problems with the ease ...
متن کاملSemantic representation and ease of predication.
Jones' (1985) Ease of Predication hypothesis, which states that underlying differences in the semantic representation of concrete and abstract words can be explained in terms of disproportionate numbers of semantic predicates, is explored in two experiments. The results suggest that (1) the advantage shown by concrete words in terms of greater number of predicates is only apparent for words of ...
متن کاملExplicit mechanisms do not account for implicit localization and identification of change: An empirical reply to Mitroff et al. (2002).
Several recent findings support the notion that changes in the environment can be implicitly represented by the visual system. S. R. Mitroff, D. J. Simons, and S. L. Franconeri (see record 2002-15293-003) challenged this view and proposed alternative interpretations based on explicit strategies. Across 4 experiments, the current study finds no empirical support for such alternative proposals. E...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Lynn S. Adler,* Michael Wink, Melanie Distl and Amanda J. Lentz Abstract Baldwin’s critique raises some valid points. However, none invalidates our main findings of correlations between leaf and floral defences, and induction of nectar alkaloids. We believe our study successfully demonstrated linkages between leaf and floral traits, and we hope it inspires further research in multiple systems a...
