The Truth - Value Judgment Task
نویسندگان
چکیده
The truth-value judgment (TVJ) task has proved to be one of the most illuminating methods of assessing children's linguistic competence developed in recent years. The fundamental property of this task is that it requires the child simply to make a bipolar judgment about whether a statement accurately describes a particular situation alluded to in some context or preamble. The success of the task clearly resides in the simplicity of the child's response and the significant amount of information that can be gathered about the child's understanding of complex constructions. With this method, it is possible to evaluate the child's understanding of complex constructions, which might have seemed untestable only a few years ago.

Electrophysiology of Pragmatic Processing: Exploring the Processing Cost of the Scalar Implicature in the Truth-Value Judgment Task
Most theoretical as well as empirical work regarding the scalar implicature not all of the quantifier some has focused on the controversy of whether this implicature is generated by default or based on context. Independently of this question, it can be also asked whether this scalar implicature contributes to the truth-conditional content of sentences. We present results of an ERP study which t...
متن کاملThe truth and bias model of judgment.
We present a new model for the general study of how the truth and biases affect human judgment. In the truth and bias model, judgments about the world are pulled by 2 primary forces, the truth force and the bias force, and these 2 forces are interrelated. The truth and bias model differentiates force and value, where the force is the strength of the attraction and the value is the location towa...
متن کاملNull objects and early pragmatics in the acquisition of European Portuguese
In this paper, we argue that clitic omission in European Portuguese speaking children cannot be due to a late acquisition of pragmatics. Based on experimental data from an elicited production task and a truth-value judgement task, we show that children acquiring European Portuguese as a first language know the appropriate pragmatic conditions for producing clitics and null objects and interpret...

متن کاملInferring truth from multiple annotators for social interaction analysis
This study focuses on incorporating knowledge from multiple annotators into a machine-learning framework for detecting psychological traits using multimodal data. We present a model that is designed to exploit the judgements of multiple annotators on a social trait labeling task. Our two-stage model first estimates a ground truth by modeling the annotators using both the annotations and annotat...
