Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

323
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Language and Cognition

939
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Collisions in Multiple Dimensions: Problem Solving

5.6K
In multiple dimensions, the conservation of momentum applies in each direction independently. Hence, to solve collisions in multiple dimensions, we should write down the momentum conservation in each direction separately. To help understand collisions in multiple dimensions, consider an example.
A small car of mass 1,200 kg traveling east at 60 km/h collides at an intersection with a truck of mass 3,000 kg traveling due north at 40 km/h. The two vehicles are locked together. What is the...

Coordination Number and Geometry

19.6K
For transition metal complexes, the coordination number determines the geometry around the central metal ion. Table 1 compares coordination numbers to molecular geometry. The most common structures of the complexes in coordination compounds are octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar.

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.9K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Language Development

1.0K
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Area of Science:

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)
  • Ontology Engineering
  • Computational Linguistics

Background:

  • Consumer language often requires combining simple concepts into complex ones (post-coordination) for ontological representation.
  • Limited consumer vocabulary necessitates productive language use, making pre-coordination in ontologies challenging.
  • Spatial relations between disorders and anatomical structures are common in consumer symptom descriptions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate methods for recognizing and normalizing spatial relations in consumer language for ontological concept integration.
  • To address the challenge of post-coordination in natural language processing (NLP) within the context of health information.

Main Methods:

  • Creation of an annotated corpus of 2,000 sentences with 1,300 spatial relations.
  • Manual normalization of 500 spatial relations to Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) concepts.
  • Application of machine learning techniques for relation recognition and normalization.

Main Results:

  • Good performance achieved in recognizing spatial relations between disorders and anatomical structures.
  • Experimentation with methods for normalizing recognized relations to an existing ontology.
  • A two-step process (recognition and normalization) yielded comparable results to existing methods.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed two-step approach effectively handles post-coordination of spatial relations in consumer language.
  • This method facilitates the integration of consumer-generated health information into structured ontologies.
  • Machine learning techniques show promise for improving ontological concept representation in NLP.
