Consumer information processing is a dynamic process that unfolds over time as information is encountered. However, little research exists on the effects of order of presentation on consumer judgment, choice, and memory. A new procedure was developed to permit the detection of order effects in choice as well as in judgment. The results revealed that strong primacy effects in judgment and choice...

Recent imaging studies have found that in simple arithmetic processing, addition is lateralized to the right hemisphere, whereas multiplication to the left. Here we aimed to investigate the cognitive mechanism underlying complicated arithmetic processing with a dual task paradigm. Participants were asked to complete a calculation task (addition or multiplication) and a letter judgment task (rhy...

Abstract This study examines the learning patterns of intermediate and advanced Korean learners in acquisition causative expressions according to their proficiency sentence type. We measured grammatical knowledge using three types grammaticality judgment tasks (GJTs) self-paced reading (SPRTs) differing time limit modality. included GJT A' score (RT) for SPRTs’ target spillover regions. The res...

Abstract This aptitude–treatment interaction study investigated the extent to which explicit and implicit cognitive abilities are differentially related learning outcomes under two corrective feedback conditions. One hundred thirteen intermediate English learners of Spanish were randomly assigned an (recast), (explicit correction), or control group after completing tests from aptitude batteries...

This paper introduces the idea of predicting ‘designer error’ by evaluating devices using Human Error Identification (HEI) techniques. This is demonstrated using Systematic Human Error Reduction and Prediction Approach (SHERPA) and Task Analysis for Error Identification (TAFEI) to evaluate a vending machine. Appraisal criteria which rely upon user opinion, face validity and utilisation are ques...

It has generally been agreed that a verb feature on v necessitates overt short movement of the verb to the head of vP (see Bailyn 1995 for arguments). However, the verb feature on T has been an issue of longstanding debate in Russian linguistics. In order to derive various temporal references, the verb feature on T must be checked by the verb (Chomsky 2001). So the question arises whether this ...

This study investigates how English-speaking learners of Chinese perceive sentences correctly using , incorrectly using , correctly omitting , and erroneously omitting through a grammaticality judgment task. The test results show that English-speaking learners of Chinese have difficulties in accepting grammatical sentences using where the NP associated with is the object of the sentence. Chines...

This study examined the relationship between verb retrieval and verb-argument-structure properties in seven agrammatic aphasic patients using tasks requiring access to the verb's lexicon for both comprehension- and productionlike processes. Results showed intact comprehension of both nouns and verbs and noun naming, but impaired naming of verbs. Subjects also demonstrated near-normal performanc...

In this paper, we examine the role of computational complexity versus the role of L1 transfer in a group of adult L2 learners of French based on the results of a written grammaticality judgment task which tested four constructions in French: relative clauses, passives, verb raising, and gender and number agreement on accusative clitics. We chose these constructions based on the varying degrees ...

This longitudinal study tracked the neuro-cognitive changes associated with second language (L2) grammar learning in adults in order to investigate how L2 processing is shaped by a learner's first language (L1) background and L2 proficiency. Previous studies using event-related potentials (ERPs) have argued that late L2 learners cannot elicit a P600 in response to L2 grammatical structures that...
