Lexical semantic richness : effect on reading comprehension and on readers' hypotheses about the meanings of novel words

open access: yes, 2015
<p>Purpose: This study investigates one possible reason for individual differences in vocabulary learning from written context. A Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) model is used to motivate the prediction of a causal relationship between semantic knowledge for words in a text and the quality of their hypotheses about the semantics of novel words, an

An Abundance of Riches: Cross-Task Comparisons of Semantic Richness Effects In Visual Word Recognition [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
There is considerable evidence (e.g., Pexman, Hargreaves, Siakaluk, Bodner, & Pope, 2008) that semantically rich words, which are associated with relatively more semantic information, are recognized faster across different lexical processing tasks ...

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
Previous studies have reported facilitatory effects of semantic richness on word recognition (e.g., Yap, Pexman, Wellsby, Hargreaves & Huff, 2012).

Zone identification based on features with high semantic richness and combining results of separate classifiers

open access: yesJournal of Information and Telecommunication, 2018
In this paper, we propose a new approach to zone identification which is based on considering features with high semantic richness. Out of the scenarios of selecting features for identifying a zone based on classifying the sentences in a text, we came to

A framework for semantics-based situational awareness during mobile robot deployments [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI
Deployment of robots into hazardous environments typically involves a “human–robot teaming” (HRT) paradigm, in which a human supervisor interacts with a remotely operating robot inside the hazardous zone.

On choosing the vehicles of metaphors 2.0: the interactive effects of semantic neighborhood density and body-object interaction on metaphor production

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
In a metaphor, such as language is a bridge, two distinct concepts known as the topic (i.e., language) and vehicle (i.e., bridge) are juxtaposed to produce figurative meaning.
