Recently proposed models of risky choice imply systematic violations of transitivity of preference. This study explored whether people show the predicted intransitivity of the two models proposed to account for the certainty effect in Allais paradoxes. In order to distinguish “true” violations from those produced by “error,” a model was fit in which each choice can have a different error rate a...

In different fields like decision making, psychology, game theory and biology, it has been observed that paired-comparison data like preference relations defined by humans and animals can be intransitive. The relations may resemble the well-known game of rock-paper-scissors. In the game, rock defeats scissors and scissors defeat paper, but rock loses to paper. Intransitive relations cannot be m...

Linguistic cues may be considered a potent tool for focusing attention on causes or effects. In this paper, we explore how different cues affect causal assignments in German and Tongan. From a larger screening study, two parts are reported here: Part 1 dealt with syntactic variations, including word order (agent vs. patient in first/subject position) and case marking (e.g., as ergative vs. non-...

In different fields like decision making, psychology, game theory and biology, it has been observed that paired-comparison data like preference relations defined by humans and animals can be intransitive. Intransitive relations cannot be modeled with existing machine learning methods like ranking models, because these models exhibit strong transitivity properties. More specifically, in a stocha...

This article discusses the valency-increasing mechanism in Dawan language. The data was obtained through observation of language speakers by applying note-taking method. Other were from literature Dawan's language, namely Beno Alekot (bible) and Si Knino (songbook). In addition, is supported intuitive researcher as a native speaker Considering variety dialects this discussion are focused on Ama...

One hard step in the computation of Galois groups by Stauduhar’s method is the construction of relative invariants. In this note, a representationtheoretic approach is given for the construction in the case of an intransitive group. In the second part of the article, it is shown that the construction can be used for groups that have a suitable intransitive subgroup. The construction solves an o...

As there has not been research specifically focused on the meanings of intransitive-based applicatives in bahasa Indonesia, this was carried out as an effort to uncover Indonesian applicative constructions. To reach goal, we use Dixon’s framework four broad categorizations (2012). The is descriptive and qualitative nature, approach used that structural typology. Data were collected using librar...

The understanding of the neural basis of limb apraxia (deficits in performing previously learned skilled movements) has benefited greatly from cognitive research on gesture processing and recognition, but the influence of this research on the treatment of apraxia is limited (Cantagallo et al., 2012). In our view, it would be desirable that this field of research have an impact also on treatment...

This article proposes that verbs in Matlatzinca (Otomian; Oto-Pamean; Oto-Manguean) fall into five inflectional classes, which the authors call ‘conjugations’. The focuses on forms make up paradigms of these classes. conjugations are based constructs largely periphrastic composition, means exponents constructions not prefixes but behave like prosodic words, independent from lexical stem verb be...

A graph Γ is said to be locally (G, 2)-arc transitive for G a subgroup of Aut(Γ) if, for any vertex α of Γ, G is transitive on the 2-arcs of Γ starting at α. In this talk, we will discuss general results involving locally (G, 2)-arc transitive graphs and recent progress toward the classification of the locally (G, 2)-arc transitive graphs, where Sz(q) ≤ G ≤ Aut(Sz(q)), q = 2 for some k ∈ N. In ...
