Holding the government accountable is a crucial function of elections. The extent to which voters can actually do so depends on political system. One element that may influence likelihood hold difference between wholesale and partial alternation. Prominent scientists like Mair, Bergman Strøm Pellegata Quaranta propose in countries with alternation are better able governments because essence hav...

.... 1 I .. , A well known effect of lesions of frontal granular cortex and of all limbic structures including the hippocampus is the impairment of the classical delayed spatial alternation problem (Pribram et at. 1952. 1962, 1966; Mishkin and Pribram 1955; Mishkin 1964; McEnaney and Butter 1969). Not every alternation performance, however. shows a decrement from frontal cortex or medial forebr...

This study examined infants’ use of picture-location contingencies and spatiotemporal regularity in forming visual expectations. Ninety-six 3-month-olds watched an event sequence in which pictures appeared at 3 locations, either in regular leftcenter-right alternation or in a random center-side pattern. For half of the infants, the content of the central picture was predictive of the location o...

Recent research has witnessed a growing interest in determining how much usage frequency explains language patterns and language processing (Bybee, 2006; Pierrehumbert, 2001; Jurafsky, 2002). This paper focuses on the degree to which the relative frequency of verbs in syntactic frames (or valence alternations) may explain the acquisition of these frames (or these alternations). Valence alternat...

A behavioral dissociation between intention and action was demonstrated by patient AF who sustained damage to the left-hemisphere including the basal ganglia. The patient was tested in a task switching paradigm involving two choice reaction-time tasks: SIZE (small/large) and SHAPE (circle/square). The last block in each of the two sessions involved only one task. AF switched tasks reasonably we...

We prove that testing preorder of De Nicola and Hennessy is preserved by all De Simone process operators. Based on this result we propose an algorithm for generating axiomatisations of testing preorder for arbitrary De Simone process languages. The axiom systems produced by our algorithm are nite and complete for processes with nite behaviour. In order to achieve completeness for a subclass of ...

We solve a generalized version of Church’s Synthesis Problem where a play is given by a sequence of natural numbers rather than a sequence of bits; so a play is an element of the Baire space rather than of the Cantor space. Two players Input and Output choose natural numbers in alternation to generate a play. We present a natural model of automata (“N-memory automata”) equipped with the parity ...

SPEAK, JOSEPH F., AND E. NEIL MOORE. A comparison of alternation in myocardial action potentials and contractility. Am. J. Physiol. 220(6): 1708-1716. 197 1 .-The transmembrane potentials and isometric force of contraction were simultaneously recorded from the isolated papillary muscles of the cat, rabbit, guinea pig, and rat right ventricles, and from frog ventricular trabeculae. The pattern o...

We challenge the predominant view of the English dative alternation, which takes all alternating verbs to have two meanings: a caused possession meaning realized by the double object variant and a caused motion meaning realized by the to variant. Instead, we argue that verbs like give and sell only have a caused possession meaning, while verbs like throw and send have both caused motion and cau...

as to where between the two poles of behaviorism and structuralism they will finally see their science find its place. It has become ever more evident that psychology after all is one; that structuralism has long since been at its most structuralistic, and that behaviorism, born more than full-grown, has been rapidly progressing from senescence toward a more normal adolescence. Thia is hopeful,...
