A pantomime recognition test was developed to study the extent of impairment of pantomime recognition and the relationship between pantomime recognition and verbal deficits in aphasics. This test requires no verbal instructions to the subject and only a simple pointing response. A description and rationale for the test are presented. This new test and three tests of verbal abilities (Verbal Recognition Test, Naming Test, and the Porch Index of Communicative Ability) were administered to four groups of subjects: aphasics, right-hemisphere damaged, subcortically damaged, and normals. Results indicate (1) greater impairment of pantomime recognition ability in aphasics than the other groups of subjects and (2) high correlations between impairment of pantomime recognition and impairment of verbal abilities in aphasics. Our findings are consistent with previous clinical reports and experimental data showing that aphasics commonly demonstrate impairment in gesture and pantomime. We conclude that aphasia is best understood as a general impairment of symbolic communication that includes nonverbal as well as verbal deficits.

The Relationship

The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between word recognition ability, knowledge of orthographic structures, and use of orthographic knowledge in word recognition. Fifty-six first and second graders were administered a word recognition test, two tests of orthographic knowledge, and two search tasks. The results indicated that when searching for multiple word targets children with word recognition levels of less than 2–2 searched similarly through all fields, whereas children with word recognition levels of 2–2+ searched faster through pseudowords and nonwords than through words. When searching for members of a category, children with word recognition levels below 2–1 searched faster through nonwords and pseudowords than through words providing no evidence for the use of orthography in word search. Children with word recognition levels above 2–1 searched faster through nonwords than through pseudowords and words, demonstrating a generalized effect of orthographic structure.

The Relationship

Brown (1976) has provided an analysis of the effect of the memorability of an item on the confidence with which it is accepted or rejected in a test of recognition or recall. When the subject has no clear recollection of the inclusion of an item in an input list, he is assumed to evaluate its memorability in the context of the experiment before he decides whether to accept or reject it. If the judged memorability is high, the absence of a clear recollection is stronger evidence against the item than if it is low. A specific prediction is that memorable distractors in a recognition test will be more confidently rejected than non-memorable ones. This prediction was tested and confirmed in three experiments in which recognition was tested by 4-category rating. Except in Experiment I, items memorable to individual subjects were identified by administering a questionnaire. For example, in Experiment III forenames of immediate family were assumed to have high memorability. This experiment also included word frequency as a variable. Low-frequency distractors were rejected significantly more firmly than high-frequency distractors: extraction of memorable names enhanced this effect. The relationship of memorability to word frequency is discussed.

Game Of Thrones

Growing evidence suggests face identifications made with high confidence are typically accurate (Wixted & Wells, 2017). However, few studies capture the complexities of real-world face recognition (e.g., non-experimental setting, varied contexts). Moreover, individual differences in face recognition ability may moderate the confidence-accuracy relationship (Grabman et al., 2019). In this study, we reanalyzed data from 32 participants who watched six seasons of the television show Game of Thrones for entertainment as the series aired (Devue et al., 2019). Participants provided confidence ratings on a 168-item old-new recognition test of actors and completed a standard test of face recognition ability. Highest confidence ratings were remarkably accurate -- even considering retention-intervals of >3 years and large changes in appearance. However, confidence was generally a better indicator of accuracy for stronger, as compared to weaker, face recognizers.

Transfer of cerebral dominance from the right to the left hemisphere was demonstrated for a response-time task of verbal naming of novel, visually presented symbols. Four sets of stimuli were used: (1) familiar numbers in the typical Arabic script; (2) Gothic-like numbers; (3) binary numbers presented in a form using dots rather than digits; and (4) symbols taken from the Digit Symbol subtest of the WAIS. Stimuli from each of these four sets were quickly flashed unpredictably to either the left or right visual half-field. Response latency was measured until the subject repeated vocally the name of the number represented by the symbol. The results show that the new symbols, e.g., binary numbers and symbols, were recognized faster by the right hemisphere at the beginning of the test session and by the left hemisphere toward the end. By contrast, numbers in familiar script showed no such hemisphere shift; dominance was constant and remained in the left hemisphere throughout. It was hypothesized that the recognition ability of the right hemisphere produced the initial superiority of the left field whereas the encoding function of the left hemisphere produced the switch to the right field. The suggestion is advanced that the new symbols used in the present study are not much different a priori than symbols normally used for language, i.e., letters, words, and therefore the abilities of the right hemisphere may be critical in acquisition of reading before and concurrently with acquisition of general language skills by the left (language) hemisphere.

The Relationship

The study attempted to resolve conflicting evidence regarding the relationship between analytic ability, as measured by tests of field dependency, and structuring ability, as measured by performance on picture recognition tasks. The data failed to support the view that field dependency and ability to recognize fragmented pictures are significantly related and that age affects performance on picture recognition tasks. The results were discussed in terms of individual differences in search strategies on the Picture Recognition Test. A suggestion was made that the Children's Embedded Figures Test and the Conceptual Style Test are measuring different abilities.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Queen Margaret (1070–93) has been the subject of much historical research. Previous studies of the queen and later saint have been undertaken from several different perspectives, including the biographical, institutional and hagiographical. In addition, some scholars have focused on her piety and later cult. Although a saint's miracles were one of the significant elements affecting the development of a cult, far less interest has been shown in the geopolitical importance of the miracles attributed to St Margaret and the relationship between the miracles and the saint's cult. The intention of this paper is to examine the miracles attributed to St Margaret and to identify their characteristics within the context of their contribution to, and influence in, the development of her cult.

The Relationship

Pragmatism and its consequences are central issues in American politics today, yet scholars rarely examine in detail the relationship between pragmatism and politics. This book systematically explores the subject and makes a strong case for adopting a pragmatist approach to democratic politics—and for giving priority to democracy in the process of selecting and reforming political institutions. What is the primary value of democracy? When should we make decisions democratically and when should we rely on markets? And when should we accept the decisions of unelected officials, such as judges or bureaucrats? This book explores how a commitment to pragmatism should affect our answers to such important questions. It concludes that democracy is a good way of determining how these kinds of decisions should be made—even if what the democratic process determines is that not all decisions should be made democratically. So, for example, the democratically elected U.S. Congress may legitimately remove monetary policy from democratic decision-making by putting it under the control of the Federal Reserve. This book argues that pragmatism offers an original and compelling justification of democracy in terms of the unique contributions democratic institutions can make to processes of institutional choice. This focus highlights the important role that democracy plays, not in achieving consensus or commonality, but rather in addressing conflicts. Indeed, the book suggest that democratic politics is perhaps best seen less as a way of reaching consensus or agreement than as a way of structuring the terms of persistent disagreement.
