An attentional blink for nontargets?

In a typical attentional blink experiment, viewers try to detect two target items among distractors in a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP): processing of the first target impairs participants' ability to recall a subsequent target at short stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs). However, little is known about whether target detection interferes with memory for nontarget items. To answer this question, in two experiments, we employed a novel dual-task procedure: participants searched for a word target (e.g., "a four-footed animal") and then were tested for recognition of nontarget words. Detection of the target word, which was present on half the trials, produced a standard attentional blink effect on memory for nontarget words, with lag 1 sparing followed by an attentional blink at longer lags. This result shows that target processing has a generalized effect on processing of later events, not only other targets.     

Testing the efficacy of a new procedure for reducing faking on personality tests within selection contexts

The authors propose a new procedure for reducing faking on personality tests within selection contexts. This computer-based procedure attempts to identify and warn potential fakers early on during the testing process and then give them a chance for recourse. Two field studies were conducted to test the efficacy of the proposed procedure. Study 1 participants were 157 applicants competing for 10 staff positions at a large university located in a southern city in the People's Republic of China. In Study 1, potential fakers received a warning message, whereas nonfakers received a nonwarning (control) message. Study 2 participants were 386 Chinese college students applying for membership of a popular student organization at the same university where Study 1 was conducted. In Study 2, the warning and control messages were randomly assigned to all applicants. Results showed some promise for the proposed procedure, but several practical issues need to be considered.     

试论原始佛教的缘起思想

佛教,是一个注重生命解脱实践的宗教。原始佛教的思想和教义针对的是众生正在面临的苦难,研究的是生命及其感受的本质,解决的是众生如何能够得到解脱的问题。原始佛教是一个立足于众生解脱的宗教,主要思想内容包括"四谛""缘起""无常""无我"和"涅槃"等学说,其研究对象是众生的"苦"的问题,目的是令众生脱离痛苦而达到解脱。原始佛教哲学体系就是围绕着众生的痛苦及其解脱而展开的,其缘起说也是如此。^[1]缘起思想是佛教哲学的理论基石,是佛教思想的理论源泉和根基。     

古希腊哲学与我们

西方哲学研究一直是现代中国思想发展的一个重要推动力，但长期以来，古希腊哲学并非其中最具影响的力量。古希腊哲学近来日益受到关注，是现代中国思想成熟的一个标志。而对古希腊哲学理解的加深，关键在于现代中国思想如何能够在哲学上建立与希腊古代哲学的关联，并形成自身理解古希腊哲学的研究传统。     

纪念恩斯特·布洛赫逝世30周年世界是拯救实验室——论恩斯特·布洛赫的历史哲学概念

恩斯特·布洛赫历史哲学的宗旨就是要阐明整个人类精神史的中心在于预先推定一种"更美好生活的梦",即一个没有贫困、剥削、压迫和异化的社会制度.在他看来,作为人类学范畴的"希望"集中体现了人类走向更美好未来的意图."世界是拯救实验室",这是一个自我解救的、从事超越活动的内在者,自身包含着人类的拯救意愿、拯救希望和拯救实验,集中体现了全部现实过程的本质极限构成."世界是拯救实验室",这一范畴规定包含着一系列重要的历史哲学结论.

合成词结构影响词汇识别过程的眼动研究

采用EyeLink II眼动仪,选取并列结构和偏正结构两种类型的目标词,要求大学生被试阅读包含有目标词的句子,以探讨合成词结构是否影响词汇识别过程,以及如果有影响,这种影响主要表现在词汇识别过程的早期加工阶段还是晚期加工阶段,亦或是整个加工阶段。结果发现:合成词结构影响词汇识别过程,而且这种影响主要体现在词汇识别过程的晚期加工阶段,即相较于偏正结构合成词,读者需要花费更多的注视时间和注视次数识别并列结构合成词。
