Feature integration is not the whole story of the sequence effects of symbolic cueing

ABSTRACT

Sequential modulations in symbolic cueing tasks have been attributed to complete versus partial repetition/alternation of stimulus features between consecutive trials. This feature-integration hypothesis is questioned by recent findings and further investigated in the present study. In the first two experiments, when the cueing axes switched between trials, only complete alternation of cue directions and target locations existed. Nevertheless, significant sequence effects were still found in this condition, which did not support the feature-integration hypothesis. Furthermore, although sequence effects were still significant when stimulus identities were manipulated in Experiment 3, it was abolished when different cue categories (gaze and arrow) were presented as cues in Experiment 4. The findings suggest that the integration of stimulus features is not the only source of the sequential effect and some higher level cognitive mechanisms, possibly as described in the task-file or task organization hypotheses, are involved in the sequential modulations of symbolic cueing.     

子结构逻辑的研究方法与应用前景

现代逻辑由众多的逻辑分支组成,各个分支有着自己的背景和发展动因,各个逻辑分支的相对独立发展成了逻辑研究的一道风景线。随着近年来子结构逻辑(substructural logics)研究的不断深入,这种情况有所改变。“子结构逻辑”的名称出现在20世纪90年代[1],它是一大类逻辑的统称,涉及基本子结构逻辑(basic substructural logic)与经典逻辑之间的各个现代逻辑分支,包括Lambek演算[2]、线性逻辑[3]、衍推逻辑、相干逻辑、BCK逻辑[4]、极小逻辑、直觉主义逻辑,以及多种正规的和非正规的模态推演,具有宽广的研究视野。子结构逻辑的特点是:从结构规…     

效率违约理论述评——拿来、批判或是选择性吸收?

效率违约理论源于霍姆斯法官的"契约选择"理论,波斯纳法官在此基础上创造出"有效率的违约"理论,后有学者正式命名为"效率违约"并得以进一步发展.该理论以科斯定理和帕雷托优势理论为基础,以社会财富最大化为价值取向.该理论的基本适用条件包括:赔偿损失具有与实际履行相当的救济效果;赔偿损失主要是对期待利益的赔偿并具有可预见性.效率违约理论自提出就遭到激烈的批判,该理论介绍到我国为时20年,赞成和反对者皆有,后者占据影响优势.该理论在我国并非一无用处,合同法完全可以吸纳其合理之处,用以完善违约责任体系.     

Testing an Integrated Model of Advice Giving in Supportive Interactions

Viewing supportive communication as a multistage process, the present study proposed and tested an integrated model of advice giving, which specifies three sequential moves in supportive interactions involving advice: emotional support, problem inquiry and analysis, and advice. Seven hundred and fifty‐two participants read and responded to a hypothetical scenario in which they received advice from a friend. Results of the study showed that advice that was offered following the moves of emotional support and problem inquiry and analysis was judged to be higher in quality than advice that did not follow this sequential pattern.     

宋代译经中梵语翻译人才的培养

宋代统治者出于政治和外交的需要，设立了译经院。为了维持译经事业的进行，国家开始了专门培养梵语翻译人才的伟大创举，先后两次各招学僧50人进行培养。学习的主要内容有悉昙章、声明及梵经义理等。维持了近百年的译经院为宋代的佛教事业培养了不少人才。惟净是其中最有成就的一位而成为一代译主，其他人中有的在译经中担任重要职位，有的则为西去求法作出了贡献。宋代这一专门培养译经人才的活动，开创了中国佛教译经事业的先河。

公共利益的经济法哲学透视

法学家们在运用传统的“种加属差”的方式定义公共利益时遭遇了概念的不确定性的强烈冲击,迫使一部分人转向对公共利益的描述而非界定。维特根斯坦的“家族类似”与韦伯的“理想类型”认为概念的形成对对象要一定有所取舍,这种取舍只能采取对核心特征的强调来进行,于是一定的典型便成为人们观察问题的焦点。现代经济法的产生及变迁轨迹无不表明其利益观毋庸置疑的定格在公共利益本位上,将经济法中以经济自由和经济秩序为表征的公共利益观上升为公共利益的典型和理想类型也是方法论上的必然。     

王随及其《传灯玉英集》

景德元年,道原上进<景德传灯录>,宋真宗下诏编入大藏,此书成为宋代文人参禅的重要读本.而抄录<传灯录>也成为宋代士大夫参禅的重要方法,<传灯玉英集>正是王随抄录<传灯录>之作.本文详细考察了王随与佛教的关系,王随编集<传灯玉英集>的原则以及<传灯玉英集>的价值.
