概括
当初始名词短语 (NP) 无生命时,语言处理中的代理者偏好会减少. 这一发现是从一项关于巴斯克语的研究中得出的,该研究探讨了动态如何影响句子中的角色解释.
科学领域:
- 心理语言学 心理语言学
- 语言学理论语言学理论
- 认知科学是一种认知科学.
背景情况:
- 语言处理通常有利于对模两可的初始名词短语 (NP) 的代理角色.
- 这种代理人偏好甚至存在于 ergative 语言中,其中代理人通常以不同的方式标记.
- 动态对这种偏好的影响在 ergative,agent-dropping语言中仍然不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 调查动态化是否调节巴斯克语中的代理偏好,这是一个具有代理放弃的 ergative 语言.
- 检查动态与无生命的初始NP如何影响句子处理,当它们的语法作用模糊时.
主要方法:
- 进行了一项自律阅读研究,使用巴斯克语的句子,并用case-marking syncretism.
- 层次贝叶斯回归模拟了初始NP的阅读时间,这些NP被动词或随后的NP分辨.
- 这项研究比较了在代理和患者角色中处理动态 (人类) 与无生命NP的过程.
主要成果:
- 当句子中的角色仅仅由动词解读时,没有观察到显著的重新分析效应.
- 在与人类药物相比,在人类患者被第二个NP清晰化后发生了处理减速.
- 对于无生命的患者来说,这种减速不存在,这表明减弱的药物偏好.
结论:
- 在语言理解中的代理者偏好可以通过初始名词短语的动态性来调节.
- 无生命的初始NP可能会减少将它们解释为代理人的倾向,特别是当它们在句子的后面被明确时.
- 这些发现有助于理解语法角色,动态性和心理语言学中的处理偏差的相互作用.

Empathy

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

Fixed Action Patterns
15.6K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Fundamental Attribution Error
12.8K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Naturalistic Observations
15.3K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

What is Behavior?
8.8K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.
