Two issues were investigated concerning the retrieval of recently acquired relevant information for solving riddle problems. First, although earlier research indicated that problem solvers often fail to retrieve relevant information unless they are explicitly informed of its relevance, Bowden (1985) suggested that uninformed subjects would benefit greatly from additional problem-solving time. I...

We show that the length of a queue communicates information about the quality of a product when some consumers are uninformed. In turn, a firm may strategically choose its service rate to signal its quality through the queue. In our setting, a firm may have high or low quality and sells a good to consumers who are heterogeneously informed. The firm may choose a slow or (at a cost) a fast servic...

In this paper, we show how a large bilingual English-French parallel corpus can be brought to bear in terminology search. First, we demonstrate that the coverage of available corpora has become substantially more extensive than that of mainstream term banks. One potential drawback in searching large unstructured corpora is that large numbers of search results may need to be examined before find...
