A Memory-Based Explanation Of Antecedent-Ellipsis Mismatches New Insights From Computational Modeling, Daniel Parker
A Memory-Based Explanation Of Antecedent-Ellipsis Mismatches New Insights From Computational Modeling, Daniel Parker
Arts & Sciences Articles
An active question in psycholinguistics is whether or not the parser and grammar reflect distinct cognitive systems. Recent evidence for a distinct-systems view comes from cases of ungrammatical but acceptable antecedent-ellipsis mismatches (e.g., *Tom kicked Bill, and Matt was kicked by Tom too.). The finding that these mismatches show varying degrees of acceptability has been presented as evidence for the use of extra-grammatical parsing strategies that restructure a mismatched antecedent to satisfy the syntactic constraints on ellipsis (Arregui et al. 2006; Kim et al. 2011). In this paper, I argue that it is unnecessary to posit a special class of …

Underrepresented students have less knowledge of research experiences available on campus and are less likely to feel supported by faculty than represented students. To address these issues and increase the number of underrepresented undergraduate researchers, faculty at the William & Mary created the William & Mary Scholars Undergraduate Research Experience (WMSURE). Community based and participatory research methods were used to work with students in developing research questions and in collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data about their academic and personal experiences. This led to the development of academic and research advising services, workshops, faculty education, and research funding to …

Media Coverage Of Muslim Devotion: A Four-Country Analysis Of Newspaper Articles, 1996–2016, Erik Bleich, Julien Souffrant, Emily Stabler, A. Maurits Van Der Veen
Media Coverage Of Muslim Devotion: A Four-Country Analysis Of Newspaper Articles, 1996–2016, Erik Bleich, Julien Souffrant, Emily Stabler, A. Maurits Van Der Veen
Arts & Sciences Articles
Scholars have identified Muslims’ religiosity and faith practices, often believed to be more intense than those of other religious groups, as a point of friction in liberal democracies. We use computer-assisted methods of lexical sentiment analysis and collocation analysis to assess more than 800,000 articles between 1996 and 2016 in a range of British, American, Canadian, and Australian newspapers. We couple this approach with human coding of 100 randomly selected articles to investigate the tone of devotion-related themes when linked to Islam and Muslims. We show that articles touching on devotion are not as negative as articles about other aspects …

Not All Phrases Are Equally Attractive: New Evidence For Selective Agreement Attraction Effects In Comprehension, Daniel Parker, Adam An
Not All Phrases Are Equally Attractive: New Evidence For Selective Agreement Attraction Effects In Comprehension, Daniel Parker, Adam An
Arts & Sciences Articles
Research on memory retrieval during sentence comprehension suggests that similarity-based interference is mediated by the grammatical function of the distractor. For instance, Van Dyke and McElree (2011) observed interference during retrieval for subject-verb thematic binding when the distractor occurred as an oblique argument inside a prepositional phrase (PP), but not when it occurred as a core argument in direct object position. This contrast motivated the proposal that constituent encodings vary in the distinctiveness of their memory representations based on an argument hierarchy, which makes them differentially susceptible to interference. However, this hypothesis has not been explicitly tested. The present …

Autistic Traits And Social Anxiety Predict Differential Performance On Social Cognitive Tasks In Typically Developing Young Adults, Cheryl L. Dickter, Joshua A. Burk, Katarina M. Fleckenstein, C. T. Kozikowski
Autistic Traits And Social Anxiety Predict Differential Performance On Social Cognitive Tasks In Typically Developing Young Adults, Cheryl L. Dickter, Joshua A. Burk, Katarina M. Fleckenstein, C. T. Kozikowski
Arts & Sciences Articles
The current work examined the unique contribution that autistic traits and social anxiety have on tasks examining attention and emotion processing. In Study 1, 119 typically-developing college students completed a flanker task assessing the control of attention to target faces and away from distracting faces during emotion identification. In Study 2, 208 typically-developing college students performed a visual search task which required identification of whether a series of 8 or 16 emotional faces depicted the same or different emotions. Participants with more self-reported autistic traits performed more slowly on the flanker task in Study 1 than those with fewer autistic …
Vegetarianism, Depression, And The Five Factor Model Of Personality, Catherine A. Forestell, John B. Nezlek
Vegetarianism, Depression, And The Five Factor Model Of Personality, Catherine A. Forestell, John B. Nezlek
Arts & Sciences Articles
This study investigated whether vegetarians and omnivores differ in their personality characteristics. We measured the five factor model of personality and depressive symptoms in vegetarians, who avoided meat and fish (n = 276); semi-vegetarians, who ate some meat and/or fish (n = 1191); and omnivores (n = 4955). Although vegetarians and semi-vegetarians were more open to new experiences, they were more neurotic and depressed than omnivores. Neither conscientiousness nor agreeableness varied as a function of dietary habits. These findings contribute to our understanding about differences between vegetarians’ and omnivores’ personalities, which might help us better understand individual …
The Effect Of Parental Smoking On Preadolescents’ Implicit And Explicit Perceptions Of Smoking-Related Cues, Cheryl L. Dickter, Catherine A. Forestell, Sarah Volz
The Effect Of Parental Smoking On Preadolescents’ Implicit And Explicit Perceptions Of Smoking-Related Cues, Cheryl L. Dickter, Catherine A. Forestell, Sarah Volz
Arts & Sciences Articles
Children of smokers are significantly more likely to experiment with cigarettes and become habitual smokers than children of nonsmokers. The current study examined the effect of parental smoking on children’s implicit and explicit responses toward smoking behavior and smoking-related cues with the goal of identifying potential mechanisms for this relationship. A sample of 8–12-year-old children of smokers (n = 57) and children of nonsmokers (n = 86) completed a dot probe task to assess implicit attentional bias toward smoking cues and the Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP) to assess implicit affective responses to smoking cues. In addition, children indicated their explicit …
Stress Avoidance In Hiatus, Anya Hogoboom
Stress Avoidance In Hiatus, Anya Hogoboom
Arts & Sciences Articles
Segment-based syllable weight has been proposed to be calculated by either rhyme segments (McCarthy, 1979) or by intervals (Steriade, 2012). An interval is defined as the vocalic material of a syllable and all following segmental material until the vowel of the following syllable. The two theories parse segments into the same domains in two cases: word-finally,1 and for the first vowel of two adjacent vowels in different syllables, i.e., in hiatus. While the weight domain is the same for the two theories in cases of hiatus (consisting of just a short vowel, ‘V’), the categorization of weight is different. While …
The Treatment Planning Of Experienced Counselors: A Qualitative Examination, Daniel Gutierrez, Jesse Fox, Kendra Jones, Elizabeth Fallon
The Treatment Planning Of Experienced Counselors: A Qualitative Examination, Daniel Gutierrez, Jesse Fox, Kendra Jones, Elizabeth Fallon
Arts & Sciences Articles
Using consensual qualitative research, the authors examined the treatment planning process of experienced counselors (N = 9). The data analysis resulted in 4 domains: assessment steps, clinical impressions, treatment factors, and treatment strategies. These domains describe the process used by experienced counselors in making clinical decisions and offer insight into the nature of clinical expertise and the need for further research on treatment planning.
Investigating The Effectiveness Of A Motivational Interviewing Group Intervention On Academic Motivation, Daniel Gutierrez, Sejal P. Foxx, Elvita Kondili
Investigating The Effectiveness Of A Motivational Interviewing Group Intervention On Academic Motivation, Daniel Gutierrez, Sejal P. Foxx, Elvita Kondili
Arts & Sciences Articles
This randomized controlled trial examines the effectiveness of a motivational interviewing (MI) group on the academic motivation of students at an alternative school (N = 43). Findings demonstrated that MI groups are effective in increasing extrinsic motivation, whereas both the waiting list control and study skills comparison group did not demonstrate statistical significance. The findings of this study have several implications for school-based motivation enhancement interventions.
Durational Cues To Stress, Final Lengthening, And The Perception Of Rhythm, Anya Hogoboom
Durational Cues To Stress, Final Lengthening, And The Perception Of Rhythm, Anya Hogoboom
Arts & Sciences Articles
Binary stress languages have a well-known asymmetry between their tolerance of initial versus final lapse; the former being extremely rare and the latter being quite common. Lunden (to appear) proposes that final lengthening plays a role in this asymmetry, as the additional inherent phonetic duration of the final syllable can contribute to the continuation of a perceived rhythm, even in the absence of actual final stress. She notes this effect of final lengthening should only be available in languages that use duration as a cue to stress. However, some languages are described as having different cues to primary and secondary …
