With the formal study of natural languages, we have obtained some residual results which greatly increase our power of logical manipulation. Coupled with a computer, our language extends enormously the external logic of our computing device. This paper is concerned with a well-defined symbolic list processing language and a set of operators for this language. These operators, which we call morp...

A new model of list processing is proposed which is more suitable as a basic data structure for architecture-independent programming languages than the traditional model of lists. Its main primitive functions are: concatenate, which concatenates two lists; split, which partitions a list into two parts; and length, which gives the number of elements in a list. This model contains a degree of non...

Two experiments examined the effects of directed (intentional) forgetting on information processed for its survival value. Experiment 1 used list-method procedure in which items their relevance to survival, moving house or pleasantness were followed by cue remember forget. Following encoding a second list, free-recall both lists showed that brought about greater remembering (after cue) and forg...

background and aim: dichotic listening evaluation is one of the most common behavioral procedures for assessing the cerebral dominance of language and is considered as the main component of the auditory processing test battery in children and adults. the randomized dichotic digits test (rddt) has two lists of randomly distributed one-, two-, and three-digit items. this research was performed fo...
