This study will consider the semantic behavior of the temporal negators not yet and never in English. In this paper, I show that not yet, by default, uses the stereotypical intervals connected with certain events to determine the time span of its negation, while never systematically ignores these stereotypical intervals. I show that in order to correctly distinguish between these two lexical it...

Stereotypes may influence the attitudes that individuals have towards others. Stereotypes, therefore, represent biases toward and against others. In this paper, we formalise stereotypical bias within trust evaluations. Then, using the iterated prisoners’ dilemma game, we quantitatively analyse how cooperation and mutual trust between self-interested agents are affected by stereotypical bias. We...

The kinematics of movement of all five digits was analyzed during reach-and-grasp tasks for a variety of objects. Ten healthy subjects performed 20 trials involving the grasp of five objects of distinct size and shape. Joint angles were recorded, and digit trajectories were computed using forward kinematics. For a given subject, fingertip trajectories were consistent across trials. The differen...

The present research investigated the use of counter-stereotypical pictures as a strategy for overcoming spontaneous gender stereotypes when certain social role nouns and professional terms are read. Across two experiments, participants completed a judgment task in which they were presented with word pairs comprised of a role noun with a stereotypical gender bias (e.g., beautician) and a kinshi...

Our three experiments varied the provider’s gender so that it was either stereotypical or counterstereotypical for an occupation. ...
