Chinese subject-relative clauses are more difficult to process than the object-relative clauses

This paper presents an experiment that compared high and low working memory span readers' abilities to process Chinese subject-relative and object-relative clause structures in a self-paced reading paradigm. Comprehension performance results indicated that the object-relative structure was easier to understand than the subject-relative structure. Reading time results showed that participants with low working memory span read the subject-relative structures more slowly than the object-relative structures, but there was no reading time difference for the high working memory span participants. The experiment provides further evidence that the Chinese subject-relative clause structure is more difficult to process than the Chinese object-relative clause structure, especially for low working memory span individuals. Furthermore, these results support a syntactic storage account of the observed complexity difference.     

对当前我国股市投机的道德思考

股市道德是对股市运行的能动反映,在一定范围内又能够起到规范股市运行,促进股市发展的作用。目前,我国股市运行中的投机问题极为突出。因此,从道德的角度对其加以剖析并寻求解决的对策无疑是必要的。     

6～8岁儿童三种时间副词理解能力及策略的实验研究

采用定量与定性相结合的研究方法,对6～8岁儿童理解时间副词的能力进行了初步探查,结果表明：(1)不同年龄儿童对时间副词的理解能力不同。6岁和7岁儿童初步形成了对现在时间副词和过去时间副词的理解能力,萌发了对将来时间副词的理解能力;8岁儿童已具有了对现在时间副词和过去时间副词的理解能力,基本上具有了对将来时间副词的理解能力。(2)儿童在理解时间副词时多种策略并存。随着年龄的增长,有效策略的生成能力有了明显的提高,8岁儿童已有90％以上的人次能够使用有效策略。     

当代民众信仰状况与社会安定意识相关研究

信仰是个人深层的、稳定的行为导向体系,是人的精神世界的核心。本研究根据信仰的内容,将信仰划分为物质信仰、精神信仰、伦理信仰、国家社会信仰和宗教神灵信仰。从天津市选取不同职业、不同年龄段的被试745名,对他们的信仰状况与社会安定意识状况进行调查研究,结果表明：民众的社会安定意识与其物质、宗教神灵信仰有非常显著的负相关,与其精神、国家社会信仰有非常显著的正相关。多元回归分析结果表明：影响社会安定意识的因素为保障制度不健全、对挫折的不良反应、社会治安状况差、官员腐败、分配不公、责任外归因。     

Variance ofd′ for thesame-different method

Variance estimates ofd′ are derived toward thesame-different method based on Taylor-series expansion with one and two variables. The variance estimates can be used for statistical comparison ofd′s obtained from various discrimination paradigms. Formulas and tables for estimating variance ofd′ for the method are provided. One S-PLUS program, which can produce bothd′ and variance ofd′, is also provided.     

The contribution of orthography to spoken word production: Evidence from Mandarin Chinese

A recent debate in the language production literature concerns the influence of a word’s orthographic information on spoken word production and the extent to which this influence is modulated by task context. In the present study, Mandarin Chinese participants produced sets of words that shared orthography (O+P−), phonology (O−P+), or orthography and phonology (O+P+), or were unrelated (O−P−), in the context of a reading, associative naming, or picture naming task. Shared phonology yielded facilitation effects in all three tasks, but only in the reading task was this phonological effect modulated by shared orthography. Shared orthography by itself (O+P−) revealed inhibitory effects in reading, but not in associative naming or in picture naming. These results suggest that a word’s orthography information influences spoken word production only in tasks that rely heavily on orthographic information.     

阅读理解困难儿童的认知加工

阅读理解困难是阅读障碍的一个主要类型,近年来受到西方研究者的重视。阅读理解认知加工,核心是有层次的语义加工,理解困难儿童在词汇语义加工和篇章推理和整合上都存在落后。理解困难儿童的信息推理水平落后,可能原因来自两个方面：一方面是语音工作记忆缺陷导致推理加工能力缺陷,另一方面是阅读元认知缺陷导致阅读目的和理解监控发展不正常。这些缺陷之间复杂的关系,还需要进一步研究     

中国人的求同心理

求同是中国人传统且特有的思维方式。中国人的求同主要表现为从众行为、标准答案“情结”、“听话”教养观和平均主义观念;究其原因,是中国人的尚和心态、关系自我、传统农业经济和封建社会的“大一统”思想造成的;求同心理在增强民族凝聚力抵抗外来侵略、继承传统美德方面发挥积极作用的同时,也给中国人带来了忽略个体、缺乏独立和创造性及容易迷失自我的消极影响;可通过加强逻辑思维、分析思维和自省的认知方式、服从真理而不是权威、批判地继承传统等途径避免求同心理的消极影响。     

受灾情况和复原力对地震灾区中小学生创伤后应激反应的影响

进行心理援助之前,对都江堰安龙镇某九年制学校学生进行受灾情况、复原力和创伤后应激反应的测查,目的在于探讨受灾情况和复原力对中小学生创伤后应激反应的独立和交互影响,并为心理援助活动提供参考。结果表明：（1）在震后一个半月之时,该校有32%的学生出现较严重的创伤后应激反应;（2）有亲人遇难的学生在闯入、回避、警觉以及创伤后应激反应的总分上均显著高于无亲人遇难的学生;（3）复原力中的积极认知和信任两个维度对降低学生创伤后应激反应有比较大的作用;（4）复原力中的社会支持维度能够缓冲亲人遇难带来的负向影响     

Neural correlates of comprehension and production of nouns and verbs in Chinese

This paper reports a conjunction analysis between semantic relatedness judgment and semantic associate generation of Chinese nouns and verbs with concrete or abstract meanings. The results revealed a verb-specific task-independent region in LpSTG&MTG, and task-dependent activation in a left frontal region in semantic judgment and the left SMG in semantic associate production. The observation of word class effects converged on Yu, Law, Han, Zhu, and Bi (2011), but contrasted with null findings in previous reports using a lexical decision task. While word class effects in the left posterior temporal cortices have been described in previous studies of languages with rich inflectional morphology, the significance of this study lies in its demonstration of the effects in these regions in a language known to have little inflectional morphology. In other words, differential neural responses to nouns and verbs can be observed without confounding from morphosyntactic operations or contrasts between actions and objects.
