Semantic variables and their application in L2 research
Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2023 Semantic variables enable L2 researchers and materials creators to quantify and control the effects of meaning on cognition. However, in recent years, many variables have been normed and published.

Theoretical Computer Science, 1993 This is a complete and detailed version of ``Domaines concrets'' (G. Kahn, G. D. Plotkin, Raport 336, IRIA-LABORIA, 1978) and of other previous communications by the same authors. Following the general framework of complete partial ordered sets for semantical domains (of programming languages), the paper introduces a special kind of such ``computation ...

Modulating Effects of Contextual Emotions on the Neural Plasticity Induced by Word Learning
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018 Recently, numerous studies have investigated the neurocognitive mechanism of learning words in isolation or in semantic contexts. However, emotion as an important influencing factor on novel word learning has not been fully considered in the previous ...

, 2017 Dropout is used as a practical tool to obtain uncertainty estimates in large vision models and reinforcement learning (RL) tasks. But to obtain well-calibrated uncertainty estimates, a grid-search over the dropout probabilities is necessary - a prohibitive operation with large models, and an impossible one with RL.

The Importance of Being Interpreted: Grounded Words and Children’s Relational Reasoning
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Although young children typically have trouble reasoning relationally, they are aided by the presence of relational words (e.g., Gentner & Rattermann, 1991).

Statistical Analysis of Multisensory and Text-Derived Representations on Concept Learning
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2022 When learning concepts, cognitive psychology research has revealed that there are two types of concept representations in the human brain: language-derived codes and sensory-derived codes.

The Role of Motion Concepts in Understanding Non-Motion Concepts
Behavioral Sciences, 2017 This article discusses a specific type of metaphor in which an abstract non-motion domain is described in terms of a motion event. Abstract non-motion domains are inherently different from concrete motion domains.

Distributional Measures of Semantic Abstraction
Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence, 2022 This article provides an in-depth study of distributional measures for distinguishing between degrees of semantic abstraction. Abstraction is considered a “central construct in cognitive science” (Barsalou, 2003) and a “process of information reduction ...
