The Essential Role of Statistical Inference in Evaluating Electoral Systems
Katz, King, and Rosenblatt (2020, American Political Science Review 114, 164–178) introduces a theoretical framework for understanding redistricting and electoral systems, built on basic statistical and social science principles of inference. DeFord et al . (2021, Political Analysis , this issue) instead focuses solely on descriptive measures, which lead to the problems identified in our article. In this article, we illustrate the essential role …
Theoretical Foundations and Empirical Evaluations of Partisan Fairness in District-Based Democracies
We clarify the theoretical foundations of partisan fairness standards for district-based democratic electoral systems, including essential assumptions and definitions not previously recognized, formalized, or in some cases even discussed. We also offer extensive empirical evidence for assumptions with observable implications. We cover partisan symmetry, the most commonly accepted fairness standard, and other perspectives. Throughout, we follow a …
Understanding Versus Discriminating Nonliteral Utterances
According to Olson (1988), full comprehension of nonliteral language must include the recognition of the implied meaning of the utterance and an awareness that there are two distinct levels of meaning—what is said and what is meant. Three experiments were performed to investigate children's comprehension of nonliteral language and their awareness of the say-mean distinction in such language. In Experiment 1, children heard irony modeled and were …
Making Sense of Literal and Nonliteral Falsehood
Children's comprehension of literal and nonliteral falsehood was examined to determine (a) the role of memory demands and (b) the role of intonation and the relationship between sentence and speaker meaning in comprehension, in Experiment 1, 5-year-olds' comprehension of sarcasm, errors, and lies was assessed in high- and low-memory-demand conditions. Memory affected only comprehension of errors. In Experiment 2, comprehension of sarcasm, hyperbo…
