Effects of Lexical Frequency in Predictive Processing: Higher Frequency Boosts First Language Speed and Facilitates Second Language Prediction

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how word frequency affects verb‐mediated prediction in L1 and L2 speakers, using a visual‐world eye‐tracking task. By manipulating frequency of nouns within subjects (higher; lower) and type of verbs used as predictive cues (semantically restrictive; neutral) in sentences (e.g., The {doctor/surgeon} {opened/moved} the box),

Flummoxing expectations

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Expected utility theory often falls silent, even in cases where the correct rankings of options seems obvious. For instance, it fails to compare the Pasadena game to the Altadena game, despite the latter turning out better in every state. Decision theorists have attempted to fill these silences by proposing various extensions to expected ...

Symmetries of value

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Standard decision theory ranks risky prospects by their expected utility. This ranking does not change if the values of all possible outcomes are uniformly shifted or dilated. Similarly, if the values of the outcomes are negated, the ranking of prospects by their expected utility is reversed.

Potential placebo bias in current trials of delirium prevention: a network meta‐analysis of 86 randomized controlled trials

open access: yesPsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Aim Numerous network meta‐analyses (NMAs) have reported inconsistent findings on the efficacy of various pharmacologic treatments for delirium prevention in high‐risk patients. A potential confounder was the study design—using a placebo control or standard‐of‐care (SoC) control. We reexamined the incident delirium between SoC plus placebo and SoC alone

When Form Leads to Function: Network Closure and Social Identity Threat Among Women Entrepreneurs

open access: yesPersonnel Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We contend that the degree of closure in women entrepreneurs’ social networks affects how concerned they feel about being judged through the lens of negative gender stereotypes (i.e., their experience of social identity threat). Using data from a survey of entrepreneurs in Study 1, we observe that women (but not men) entrepreneurs who report ...

The class of opportunity filters and the preference revealed by a path independent choice function [PDF]

open access: yesNova Economia, 2004
The purpose of this paper is to replicate the theory developed by Gekker (2001), without using any monotonicity assumption. We however retain a non-triviality assumption implicit in Gekker (2001), which says that there is at least one opportunity set ...
