Introduction: Emotional words in comparison with neutral words have different hemispheric specialization. It is assumed that the right hemisphere has a role in processing every kind of emotional word. The objective of the present study was the development of a Persian version of the dichotic emotional word test and evaluate its validation among adult Persian speakers.   Materials and Methods: ...

We investigated the presence of a key feature of human word comprehension in a five year old Border Collie: the generalization of a word referring to an object to other objects of the same shape, also known as shape bias. Our first experiment confirmed a solid history of word learning in the dog, thus making it possible for certain object features to have become central in his word comprehensio...

This study investigated gaze-following abilities as a prerequisite for word learning, in a population expected to manifest a wide range of social and communicative skills-children with a family history of autism. Fifty-three 3-year-olds with or without a family history of autism took part in a televised word-learning task. Using an eye-tracker to monitor children's gaze behavior, it was shown t...

Feedforward Neural Network (FNN)-based language models estimate the probability of the next word based on the history of the last N words, whereas Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) perform the same task based only on the last word and some context information that cycles in the network. This paper presents a novel approach, which bridges the gap between these two categories of networks. In partic...

The basic numerical quantity investigated in this paper is |w|u, the number of occurrences of a word u as a scattered subword of a word w. Arithmetical combinations of such quantities yield a so-called subword history. We investigate the information content of subword histories. Reducing subword histories to linear ones, as well as the recently introduced Parikh matrices, will be important tool...

objectives: stuttering is one of the most prevalent speech and language disorders. symptomology of stuttering has been surveyed from different aspects such as biological, developmental, environmental, emotional, learning and linguistic. previous researches in english-speaking people have suggested that some linguistic features such as word meanings may play a role in the frequency of speech non...

conforming to the nature of human being, justice is some concept that has been the issue of various theological and humanitarian discussions throughout history. this concept has been reviewed from different aspects. applying izutsu's method of semantics, the present paper is analyzing the semantic instruction of the word “justice” based on the holy quran verses. on the basis of semantic sy...

Previous behavioral research into the processing mechanisms that support action selection in complex sequential tasks has focused on errors or ‘slips of action’ (Norman, 1981; Reason, 1979, 1984). This work has been taken to suggest that sequential behavior is controlled by the dynamic interaction of two systems – a resource hungry “supervisory” system and an automatic “routine” system that emp...
