ERP Correlates of Individual Differences in the Comprehension of Nonliteral Language
In recent years, the field of cognitive neuroscience has flourished as new tools allow researchers to peer inside the workings of the living brain. At the same time, those interested in the experimental study of language have begun to move beyond their initial focus on literal language to look at the more complex and potentially more interesting areas of figurative language. The purpose of this article is to highlight ongoing research into indivi…
Attentional Interference in Judgments of Musical Timbre
Researchers have shown that working memory is related to a variety of high-level cognitive processes. However, the results of recent research have suggested that may be because of its role in attentional control. In the present experiment, the authors investigated that hypothesis by using an attentional interference task with musical stimuli. Listeners were asked to monitor one ear for either a clarinet or violin tone and to ignore any informatio…
Haiku
Haiku is a form of traditional Japanese poetry that is popular worldwide. We examined college students' comprehension and interpretation of 117 haiku written by poets with different levels of expertise. Participants also completed a creative experience questionnaire and a multimedia comprehension battery. Each haiku was rated on 5 dimensions: ease of comprehension, familiarity, goodness, imagery, and symbolism. Results paralleled work on figurati…
Preliminary Validation of a Visioning Ability Scale
Leadership experts define organizational vision as an individual's positive vivid cognitive image of an organization, e.g., success, size, employees. strategic direction, in the future. This concept infers that different people may have varying ability to create this image. This paper describes the preliminary validation of a scale designed to measure an individual's visioning ability. Factor analysis and tests of reliability and of content, cons…

Reading and Recall of Metaphorical Sentences
Two experiments examined the effects of familiarity and context on the reading and recall of metaphorical sentences. In Experiment 1, eye movements were recorded during the reading of high- or low-familiar target metaphors that were preceded by either a related metaphor, an unrelated metaphor, or an unrelated literal sentence. High-familiar metaphors were read more quickly than low-familiar metaphors. Related metaphor contexts facilitated reading…
