abstraCt An integrative model explaining intentions to use an information technology is proposed. The primary objective is to obtain a clearer picture of how intentions are formed, and draws on previous research such as the technology acceptance model (Davis, Bagozzi, & Warshaw, 1989) and the decomposed theory of planned behavior (Taylor & Todd, 1995a). The conceptual model was tested using que...

The present study explores hemispheric differences in verb and verb-derived noun production in terms of the impact of various picture and word characteristics on visual field reaction time variance. The unique contribution of predictors has been interpreted as activation of a corresponding property, as indication of a stage of picture processing and as activation of a corresponding mechanism/sy...

The primary purposes of this study were to (1) ascertain the effects of kindergarten conceptual tempo classification on middle of first-grade reading performance; (2) compare the results obtained by the traditional Matching Familiar Figures Test double median split classification procedure with results obtained by computing a linear score for each child which combined his MFF standard scores fo...

This article deals with the peculiarities of mechanisms providing formation of semantics of compound words from the perspective of the cognitive approach. More to the point, it is a question of conceptual derivation, where meaning formation of compound words is carried out by the interaction of its component conceptual structures. The author has researched the main means which take part in the ...

The scientific objectives of the "COnceptual gRAphs at LIrmm" project and the method used to reach these objectives are presented.

The objective of this study is to empirically examine the antecedents and dimensions of trust in inter-firm collaborative relationships. A conceptual model is introduced and tested on survey data. The resulting model is mainly supported, although some findings were unexpected.

In this paper, we explore the expressivity of default CG rules (a CGoriented subset of Reiter’s default logics) through two applications. In the first one, we show that default CG rules provide a unifying framework for CG rules as well as polarized CGs (CGs with atomic negation). This framework allows us to study decidable subclasses of a new language mixing CG rules with atomic negation. In th...
