Effects of Emotional Valence and Concreteness on Children’s Recognition Memory
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 There are considerable gaps in our knowledge of how children develop abstract language. In this paper, we tested the Affective Embodiment Account, which proposes that emotional information is more essential for abstract than concrete conceptual ...

A Multi-Dictionary Approach to Abstractness/Concreteness-Based Authorship Attribution
Proceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference, 2023 We present some early results from a research project aimed at exploring the usefulness of abstractness/concreteness as stylistic features for authorship attribution.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Prior research has established that while the use of concrete, familiar examples can provide many important benefits for learning, it is also associated with some serious disadvantages, particularly in learners’ ability to recognize and transfer their ...

Love is . . . an abstract word: the influence of phonological and semantic factors on verbal short-term memory in Williams syndrome [PDF]
, 2005 It has been claimed that verbal short-term memory in Williams syndrome is characterised by an over-use of phonological coding alongside a reduced contribution of lexical semantics.

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.

Perturbation theory by the moment method and point-group symmetry [PDF]
, 2014 We analyze earlier applications of perturbation theory by the moment method (also called inner product method) to anharmonic oscillators. For concreteness we focus on two-dimensional models with symmetry $C_{4v}$ and $C_{2v}$ and reveal the reason why ...

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 ...

Differential emotional processing in concrete and abstract words [PDF]
, 2018 Emotion (positive and negative) words are typically recognized faster than neutral words. Recent research suggests that emotional valence, while often treated as a unitary semantic property, may be differentially represented in concrete and abstract ...
