A tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) elicitation task was used with younger adults in Experiment 1 and with older adults in Experiment 2 to examine the influence of word frequency, neighborhood density, and neighborhood frequency on the retrieval of phonological word forms from the lexicon. The results of Experiment 1 replicated the results of Harley and Bown (1998): More TOT states were elicited for word...

sustainable transportation with the aim of urban sustainable development aims to improve the environmental quality and the socio-economic condition. one of the most important strategies for achieving sustainable transportation is planning and designing for walking, or in other words increasing urban walkability. therefore, increased walkability has become a key issue in urban planning. understa...

We present two experiments in which we measured lexical decision latencies and errors to words with few or many orthographic neighbors (ie., Coltheart's N). The main goal of the study was to examine whether or not the neighborhood size effect in a lexical decision task could be affected by the exposure duration of the stimulus item (unlimited vs. limited time exposure, 150 msec plus a backward ...

We are presenting in this volume selected, peer-reviewed, short papers that were presented at the 3rd International Conference on Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS’14) which took place in Djerba, Tunisia, during October 8-11, 2014.

Abstract The bubble–bubble interaction and bubble–needle are usually caused by liquid flow in the needle or needle’s neighborhood. Moreover, nonlinear changes liquid’s velocity pressure can lead to chaotic bubble departures. In present paper, neighborhood were experimentally numerically investigated. experiment, bubbles generated from a brass into distilled water. A second was placed at distanc...
