Participants were trained in a series of interrelated conditional discriminations that aimed to establish four 4-member equivalence classes (i.e., A1-B1-C1-D1, A2-B2-C2-D2, A3-B3-C3-D3, A4-B4-C4-D4). During this training, the four A stimuli (i.e., A1, A2, A3, and A4) were compounded with pictures containing positive or negative evaluative functions (A1/A2 negative & A3/A4 positive). The transfe...

This paper presents the results obtained during the application of automatically generated open-domain trivial dialogue phrase databases to conversational partners. The databases were generated by a language independent algorithm. Evaluative experiments were carried out for English and Spanish. Results show the applicability of the analyzed phrase databases.

scientific communications network is presented in, sociology of science. and we can use steven's evaluative bibliometrics to map it. in citation network approach, scientist's communication behavior is predicted through their citation behavior. in this paper, first, concepts such as sociology of science, scientific community, scientific communications and its kinds are described. two k...

What happens in the mind of a person who first hears a potentially exciting idea?We examined the neural precursors of spreading ideas with enthusiasm, and dissected enthusiasm into component processes that can be identified through automated linguistic analysis, gestalt human ratings of combined linguistic and non-verbal cues, and points of convergence/divergence between the two. We combined to...

Humans have a remarkable capacity for rapid affective learning. For instance, using first-order US such as odors or electric shocks, magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies of multi-CS conditioning demonstrate enhanced early (<150 ms) and mid-latency (150-300 ms) visual evoked responses to affectively conditioned faces, together with changes in stimulus evaluation. However, particularly in social ...
