Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract This paper offers a fresh perspective on (restrictions on) aspectual coercion, thereby focusing on the essentially epistemic import of aspectual constructions. The case study that I will discuss is the unexpected use of the simple tenses for ongoing event reports in sentences involving full-verb inversion. I will argue that this attestation of the simple present/past in inverted sentences can be analyzed as a kind of aspectual mismatch between the higher-order construction and the embedded tenses. Yet at a more basic, epistemic level of analysis, there is no mismatch: the full-verb inversion construction and the embedded tenses are similar in the sense that both report events that are conceived of as fully and instantly identifiable.

To what extent do upper-level, academically outstanding undergraduates employ the kind of higher-order information literate thinking during subject searching commonly associated with search and domain experts? This paper reports on a multiple case study exploration of this question involving eight students and their genuine academic subject searches over a school year.Dans quelle mesure les étudiants de premier cycle universitaire aux meilleurs résultats académiques emploient-ils des techniques de littératie de haut niveau communément trouvées chez les experts lors de recherches par sujet? Cette communication présente les résultats de huit études de cas menées auprès d’étudiants suivis pendant leur cheminement scolaire au cours d’une année.
