Abstract The purpose of this paper is to extend the linguistic relativity hypothesis (i.e., language we speak affects way think) a script in which read influences our thought). Based on rich body knowledge science reading that shows effects literacy cognitive processes, foundation, rationale, and converging evidence are discussed. tenable notion anchored previous research into connection betwee...

In this paper, we propose a multimedia script language named ́Meta Scriptμ, which describes the structures of movies based on the counterpoint theory in music. As a case study, we describe a structure of Bach·s ́3 Part Invention No. 4μ with Meta Script, and produce a movie according to the script. From this experiment, we confirm that Meta Script works well as a counterpoint structure descripti...

The present study focuses on the use of two different types of scripts as possible ways to structure university students’ discourse in asynchronous discussion groups and consequently promote their learning. More specifically, the aim of the study is to determine how requiring students to label their contributions by means of De Bono’s Thinking Hats (script 1) and Weinberger’s script for the con...

Script-fading procedures have been shown to be effective for teaching children with autism to initiate and participate in social interactions without vocal prompts from adults. In previous script and script-fading research, however, there has been no demonstration of a generalized repertoire of vocal interactions under the control of naturally occurring relevant stimuli. In this study, 4 boys w...

writing system that we know to be a derived one. This early branching point is thus the equivalent of speciation in biological evolution. The separate writing systems of these neighbouring regions must have been mutually incomprehensible. Over a short time span — three centuries at most, but probably much less — the proto-Elamite script spread across Iran, offering a prime example of cultural d...

We explored the effect of age on executive functions by using script-sequencing and script-sorting tasks. Older participants (n = 39), relative to young subjects (n = 40), committed more errors in script sequencing. However, there was no difference in performance between elderly and young subjects in excluding irrelevant items. These results suggest that aging generates impairment in the abilit...
