a Comparison of the ROle of Aspect in native and non-native inference
generation in Narrative comprehension
 
The acquisition of English aspect, as opposed to tense, and the information provided by it on the text/discourse level have received increasing attention in recent years (Bardovi-Harlig 1997). At the same time, our understanding of native speakers’ cognitive processing of aspect during text comprehension is sketchy (Magliano & Schleich 2000). The current study compares native and non-native readers’ processing of the effect of aspect on understanding simple narratives. This comparison will allow addressing the question whether English language learners in this study make …

Changes In Food Attitudes As A Function Of Hunger, Dora I. Lozano, Stephen L. Crites, Shelley N. Aikman Dec 1998

Changes In Food Attitudes As A Function Of Hunger, Dora I. Lozano, Stephen L. Crites, Shelley N. Aikman

Stephen L Crites Jr.

This experiment investigated whether hunger selectively influences attitudes toward common food items. Ss completed a take-home questionnaire on which they rated their attitudes toward food and non-food items when they were either hungry (45 Ss) or not hungry (45 Ss); after returning the questionnaire, Ss completed a second take-home questionnaire in the opposite hunger condition. Results of both between-subject and within-subject analyses revealed that Ss rated foods more positively when hungry compared to not hungry and that there was no difference in the ratings of nonfoods when hungry vs not hungry. Moreover, attitudes toward high-fat foods changed more as a …

Separating Equals: Educational Research And The Long Term Consequences Of Sex Segregation, Nancy Levit Dec 1998

Separating Equals: Educational Research And The Long Term Consequences Of Sex Segregation, Nancy Levit

Nancy Levit

The article imports into the legal literature for the first time the full range of single sex education research, from this country and others, and examines sociological research that has been omitted from the debate. Rarely do proponents consider what educational and social effects sex-exclusive schooling will have on boys. Rarer still is any consideration of the effect of educational segregation in a society that is already relentlessly segregated by sex. While the educational research regarding the efficacy of single sex schools is mixed at best, the sociological research is absolutely clear that separation on the basis of identity characteristics …

5. Young Maltreated Children’S Competence To Take The Oath., Thomas D. Lyon, Karen J. Saywitz Dec 1998

5. Young Maltreated Children’S Competence To Take The Oath., Thomas D. Lyon, Karen J. Saywitz

Thomas D. Lyon

Two studies examined I92 maltreated young children's competence to take the oath.  Study I found that despite serious delays in receptive vocabulary, a majority of 5-year-olds correctly identified truthful statements and lies as such and recognized that lying is bad and would make authority figures mad. However, most participants up to 7 years of age could not define "truth" and "lie" or explain the difference between the terms. Four-year-olds were above chance in recognizing the immorality of lying but exhibited a tendency to identify all statements as the "truth. " Study 2 found that 4- and 5-year-olds performed above chance …

4. The New Wave Of Suggestibility Research: A Critique., Thomas D. Lyon Dec 1998

4. The New Wave Of Suggestibility Research: A Critique., Thomas D. Lyon

Thomas D. Lyon

The new wave in children's suggestibility research consists of a prestigious group of researchers in developmental psychology who argue that children are highly vulnerable to suggestive interviewing techniques. Because of its scientific credentials, its moderate tone, and its impressive body of research, the new wave presents a serious challenge to those who have claimed that children are unlikely to allege sexual abuse falsely. Although we can learn much from the research, concerns over society's ability to detect abuse motivate three criticisms. First, the new-wave researchers assume that highly suggestive interviewing techniques are the norm in abuse investigations, despite little empirical …

A Rapid Assessment Model For Student Affairs: A Paradigm, Oscar T. Mcknight, Robin W. Gagnow, Sue Heimann

Oscar T McKnight Ph.D.

The importance and relevance of ongoing assessment within Student Affairs is paramount. However, there is often a problem securing relevant information within a brief window of time typically allotted by students. Therefore, this research introduced a rapid assessment model: The One-Minute Assessment. Findings suggest that the analysis of results given the One-Minute assessment can be both descriptive and inferential, depending on the planned assessment questions. The research addressed the Pros and cons of the One-Minute Assessment.
