Depth of processing and semantic anomalies
The traditional view of language comprehension is that the meaning of a sentence is composed of the meaning of each word combined into a fully specified syntactic structure. These processes are assumed to be generally completed fully and automatically. However, there is increasing evidence that …

A MULTIDIMENSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF DEEP AND SURFACE PROCESSING
… is the general assumption that deeper-level processing should be consistently associated with better academic performance (e.g., Block, 2009). However, studies exploring the relation between depth of processing (e.g., deep and surface processing) and learning outcomes have not produced …

The Effects of Embedded Question Type and Locus of Control on Processing Depth, Knowledge Gain, and Attitude Change in a Computer-Based Interactive Video Environment
The differential effectiveness of two types of adjunct embedded questions in facilitating deep processing, increased knowledge gain, and increased positive attitude change was examined in this two-session laboratory study. In session one, subjects completed a measure of locus of control (LOC) …

Motivating science learning
Dual-processing theories of conceptual change hypothesize that if children are more personally involved in a lesson they will process the information more deeply leading to more and stronger conceptual change (Dole & Sinatra, 1998). This study tests this theory by increasing personal involvement …

Implications of Tailoring Emotional Expression within an Expressive Writing Paradigm
… perspective that both emotion and emotional processing theories could greatly enhance feedback messages given in a linguistic writing paradigm. The measurement of emotional expression is briefly reviewed along with the basic expressive writing paradigm, outcome of this expressive writing …

Memory Bias in the Use of Accounting Information: An Examination of Affective Responses and Retrieval of Information in Accounting Decision Making
… is based on the Kida-Smith (1995) model of "The encoding and retrievability of numerical data." It is concerned with the variable conditions under which a positive affective response (i.e., a decision or opinion that results in a positive valence) on previously viewed accounting …

Embodied-linguistic conceptual representations during metaphor processing
Although metaphor processing has fascinated linguists and psychologists alike, the conceptual representations involved have not been fully examined. In the present thesis, I propose metaphor processing should be viewed as an aspect of language processing, involving conceptual representations that …

Effects of emotion on awareness in memory: applying the Remember-Know approach to awareness in memory for emotional news stories
This thesis investigates subjective states of awareness in memory for emotional information following Tulving's (1985) dual-memory model in which feelings of 'remembering' (including specific recollection of the encounter with the item) index episodic memory and feelings of 'knowing' (memory but …

Going beyond our means: A proposal for improving psycholinguistic methods
Psycholinguistics is the research of language in the mind: The architecture of storing the different components of language in our memory, and the ways we access that knowledge when processing and producing language. Psycholinguists usually conduct quantitative experimental research in which …

Human-Computer Interaction in Extended Reality: Exploring the Impact of Visual Guidance on User Performance and Human Factors
… in industrial environments. The ability of XR technologies to overlay visual cues within a user’s field of view enables unique forms of instructional design with the potential to improve operational performance. Yet, usability challenges are reported as an important adoption obstacle for …

Laser surface modification of biomedical alloys
This study investigated the effects of high speed laser surface modification on 316L stainless steel and Ti-6Al-4V for biomedical implants application. Laser processing was carried out in an inert argon environment using a 1.5 kW CO2 laser. Parameters investigated in this work included irradiance, …

A Processing Approach to the Working Memory/Long-Term Memory Distinction: Evidence from a Levels-of-Processing Span Task
… this point, Craik and Tulving's classic levels-of-processing paradigm was adapted for use in a WM span task: Participants made visual, phonological, or semantic judgments about 33 words using the same stimuli and instructions as Craik and Tulving: 1975), but were to recall words immediately …

Second language processing in reading and translation
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the processing mechanisms of non-native English speakers at both the sentence level and the morphological level, addressing the issue of whether adult second language (L2) learners qualitatively differ from native speakers in processing linguistic …

The effects of hippocampal amnesia on retrieval orientation and novelty processing
… particular the hippocampus, have been the focus of a large body of research since the discovery of a memory deficit in patient H.M. following surgical removal of those brain regions. This research has pointed to the role of the hippocampus in supporting a particular kind of memory, namely …

Linguistic relativity: Loci and conditions of emergence

Sensory Processing Sensitivity: exploring associations with cognition and clinical populations
This thesis is comprised of three pieces of research (a systematic review and two empirical studies) which explore the relationship between SPS, cognition, and mental health. Systematic Review Abstract: Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) captures individual differences in sensitivity and …
