How Many Impossible Images Did Escher Produce
In this article we address the question of how many impossible images Escher produced. To answer requires us first to clarify a range of concepts, including content, ambiguity, illusion, and impossibility. We then consider, and reject, several candidates for impossibility before settling on an answer. © 2013 British Society of Aesthetics

Communication, Conflict, and Culture
This study examines the role of complex language in the evolution of communication, conflict, and culture. The main thesis is that language, conflict, and communication initially arose from pressures built in to the critical life-or-death situations our ancestors were compelled to share with one another. From such a perspective, communication is viewed as a world-analyzing, reality-testing, survival-oriented mechanism. Complex language enables hu…
The validity of disjunctive syllogism is not so easily proved.
This note is prompted by John Burgess's "Relevance: A Fallacy?" The kind of argument he gives is not so unusual, and can be encountered around the literature (e.g., [3], p. 666) and not infrequently in the verbal pronouncements of philosophers. The bones of the reply I will give to Burgess can also be found in a number of places and as long ago as 1972 (e.g., [4]-[6]), though I do not think it has been systematically developed anywhere. Since Bur…

Predispositions Toward Verbal Behavior in Task-Oriented Interaction
Two studies were conducted that examined the interaction patterns of dissimilar PVB subjects in task oriented discussions. Their interaction was content analyzed and subjected to computer assisted Markov analysis. We found predictable behavioral, cognitive, and content differences between high, middle, and low PVB subjects. High-PVB subjects talked longer, interrupted less, initiated and reinitiated more ideas, had higher credibility, and had mor…
The Measurement of Verbal Predispositions
A self-report instrument (PVB), designed to measure Predispositions toward Verbal Behavior, was found to have acceptable internal reliability, content validity, moderate construct validity, and strong criterion-related validity. Subjects were found to have a generalized cognitive orientation toward their speech patterning that correlated positively with number of words and duration of talk in both highly-structured interviews and unstructured dis…
The effect of predispositions toward verbal behavior on interaction patterns in dyads
A self‐report instrument, a test of Predispositions toward Verbal Behavior, was designed to measure the cognitive orientation that persons hold toward the extent of their verbal participation in social settings. A word association task was devised to test correspondence among self reports of verbal activation, interaction patterns, and subsequent social attributions. Results showed a significant linear trend among levels of verbal activation and …
