In response to ongoing concerns with student academic and behavior problems, antecedent strategies have garnered increasing attention. Antecedent intervention approaches focus on structuring the environment to prevent problems and enhance motivation. At the class-wide level, implementation of these strategies can create a structured and orderly environment to which most students are responsive....

Previous studies have shown that speakers of languages such as German, Spanish, and French reactivate the syntactic gender of the antecedent of a pronoun to license gender agreement. As syntactic gender is assumed to be stored in the lexicon, this has motivated the claim that pronouns in these languages reactivate the lexical entry of their antecedent noun. In contrast, in languages without syn...

Using (1) to fix terminology, the ANAPHOR is do the same, the ANTECEDENT is take up the final version of the funding bill, the ORPHAN is on Tuesday, and the CORRELATE is tomorrow. Examples like (2) are of particular interest because the correlate (two previous fiances) is inside the antecedent and, consequently, the orphan and the antecedent must interact to produce the interpretation of the cl...

This paper offers a method for determining referent (antecedent) of the noun phrase containing determiner "kono (this)" or "sono (that, its)" in Japanese. It uses in the determination of the antecedent a statistical measure of conceptual similarities, taken from a corpus, between each candidate for the antecedent and the modeficand of kono or sono. We describe our method and an algorithm. We th...

Hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure (HAAF) occurs commonly in patients with longstanding diabetes, placing affected patients at increased risk for severe hypoglycemia. Previous studies have suggested that hypoglycemia-induced hypercortisolemia may be responsible for blunting subsequent sympathoadrenal responses to hypoglycemia; however, this view remains highly controversial. In this work...

According to some theorists, the strength of a conditional statement is determined solely by the extent to which the conditional’s antecedent is sufficient for its consequent. On this view, the strength of conditionals is independent of the degree to which the antecedent is necessary for the consequent. Data from four experiments reported here demonstrate that when people evaluate conditionals,...
