The notion of feedback activation from semantics to both orthography and phonology has recently been used to explain a number of semantic effects in visual word recognition, including polysemy effects (Hino & Lupker, 1996; Pexman & Lupker, 1999) and synonym effects (Pecher, 2001). In the present research, we tested an account based on feedback activation by investigating a new semantic variable...

When asked to list semantic features for concrete concepts, participants list many features for some concepts and few for others. Concepts with many semantic features have been reported to be processed faster in lexical decision, naming, and semantic decision tasks (Pexman, Holyk, & Monfils, 2003; Pexman, Lupker, & Hino, 2002). Using a much larger and better controlled set of items in Experimen...

When asked to list semantic features for concrete concepts, participants list many features for some concepts and few for others. Concepts with many semantic features are processed faster in lexical and semantic decision tasks (Pexman, Holyk, & Monfils, 2003; Pexman, Lupker, & Hino, 2002). Using both lexical and concreteness decision tasks, we provided further insight into these number-of-featu...

The aim of this study is report the treatment a case peripheral ossifying fibroma. In report, we present clinical course 23-year-old female patient with mass in gingival tissue. was submitted to excisional biopsy and defect generated by removal lesion corrected using biomaterials. One year follow-up, it not possible see any esthetic when compared contralateral side.
