Pilot Study of Relationship Between Fertility Risk and Bargaining
Pilot Study of Relationship between Fertility Risk and Bargaining
Competition for resources to support a healthy pregnancy and later offspring was likely very important for ancestral women. Therefore, it was predicted that women evolved a propensity for intrasexual competition over resources during times of their highest conception risk. To investigate this hypothesis, women played a series of ultimatum games, bargaining games that test participants' willingness to share a monetary stake. During periods of high…
Semantic representation of meaning: A defense
Semantic representation of meaning: A defense
Recently, Shanon (1988) argued that evidence from the comprehension of linguistic expressions indicates that semantic representations cannot be the basis for knowledge of word meaning. However, many of the supposed inadequacies of representational theories of mind, identified by Shanon, reflect a number of common misconceptions. First, the properties of the representational medium are mistakenly identified with the message being represented. Seco…
Frequency Effects on the Processing of Ambiguous Words in Sentence Contexts
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the processing of ambiguous words that varied in frequency of use of their multiple interpretations. Biasing sentential contexts were used in a cross-modal priming paradigm in which targets were presented for lexical decision at two different intervals relative to the occurrence of the ambiguous word. The results replicate previous work showing that both interpretations of an ambiguous word are access…
