General Capacity

Mental time travel (MTT) is defined as projecting the self into the past and the future. Despite growing evidence of the similarities of remembering past and imagining future events, dominant theories conceive of these as distinct capacities. I propose that memory and imagination are fundamentally the same process – constructive episodic simulation – and demonstrate that the ‘simulation system’ meets the three criteria of a neurocognitive system. Irrespective of whether one is remembering or imagining, the simulation system: (1) acts on the same information, drawing on elements of experience ranging from fine-grained perceptual details to coarser-grained conceptual information and schemas about the world; (2) is governed by the same rules of operation, including associative processes that facilitate construction of a schematic scaffold, the event representation itself, and the dynamic interplay between the two (cf. predictive coding); and (3) is subserved by the same brain system. I also propose that by forming associations between schemas, the simulation system constructs multi-dimensional cognitive spaces, within which any given simulation is mapped by the hippocampus. Finally, I suggest that simulation is a general capacity that underpins other domains of cognition, such as the perception of ongoing experience. This proposal has some important implications for the construct of ‘MTT’, suggesting that ‘time’ and ‘travel’ may not be defining, or even essential, features. Rather, it is the ‘mental’ rendering of experience that is the most fundamental function of this simulation system, enabling humans to re-experience the past, pre-experience the future, and also comprehend the complexities of the present.

Different Characteristics

Familiarity and recollection are qualitatively different explicit-memory phenomena evident during recognition testing. Investigations of the neurocognitive substrates of familiarity and recollection, however, have typically disregarded implicit-memory processes likely to be engaged during recognition tests. We reasoned that differential neural responses to old and new items in a recognition test may reflect either explicit or implicit memory. Putative neural correlates of familiarity in prior experiments, for example, may actually reflect contamination by implicit memory. In two experiments, we used obscure words that subjects could not formally define to tease apart electrophysiological correlates of familiarity and one form of implicit memory, conceptual priming. In Experiment 1, conceptual priming was observed for words only if they elicited meaningful associations. In Experiment 2, two distinct neural signals were observed in conjunction with familiarity-based recognition: late posterior potentials for words that both did and did not elicit meaningful associations and FN400 potentials only for the former. Given that symbolic meaning is a prerequisite for conceptual priming, the combined results specifically link late posterior potentials and FN400 potentials with familiarity and conceptual priming, respectively. These findings contradict previous interpretations of FN400 potentials as generic signals of familiarity and show that repeated stimuli in recognition tests can engender facilitated processing of conceptual information in addition to retrieval processing that leads to the awareness of memory retrieval. The different characteristics of the electrical markers of these two types of process further underscore the biological validity of the distinction between implicit memory and explicit memory.

The article defines and describes the main ways of suggestive impact in advertising texts. The language-specific nature of advertising texts is often reduced, as the marketing aspect is highlighted. One of the main functions of the advertising text is the suggestive function, since this type of texts is designed to impact a person emotionally, psychologically, and manipulatively. Despite a number of works devoted to linguistic suggestion in advertising, this aspect remains poorly studied, due to the constant expansion of the range of manipulative strategies used in advertising texts. The empirical material for the present study, i.e. advertising texts, was collected from English versions of ELLE, OUT, WOMEN’S HEALTH magazines. An advertising text is a complex semiotic unity with the following properties: polysemioticity (elements of various sign systems are used to construct such a text), imperativeness (an advertising text is designed to induce an addressee to act), and suggestiveness (texts of this type are saturated with persuasion techniques). Verbal and non-verbal levels of manipulative techniques are distinguished. They are background and color as main medium of conceptual information, re-accentuation, graphic techniques, words and phrases with positive semantics, imperative, lexical-stylistic and grammar-stylistic devices.

Conceptual Relationship

Research on the production of subject-verb agreement has focused on the features of the subject rather than the larger construction in which subject-verb agreement is produced or how the conceptual relationship between subjects and predicates may interact in affecting subject-verb agreement patterns. This corpus study describes subject-verb number agreement mismatch in English copular constructions which take the frame of (SEMANTICALLY LIGHT) N + [REL] + COP + (SPECIFIC) PRED NOM, where the copula reflects the grammatical number of the predicate. Results suggest that speakers make use of conceptual information from the entire construction, and not just the subject, when formulating agreement morphology.

Information Retrieval Systems

Basically keywords are used to index and retrieve the documents for the user query in a conventional information retrieval systems. When more than one keywords are used for defining the single concept in the documents and in the queries, inaccurate and incomplete results were produced by keyword based retrieval systems. Additionally, manual interventions are required for determining the relationship between the related keywords in terms of semantics to produce the accurate results which have paved the way for semantic search. Various research work has been carried out on concept based information retrieval to tackle the difficulties that are caused by the conventional keyword search and the semantic search systems. This paper aims at elucidating various representation of text that is responsible for retrieving relevant search results, approaches along with the evaluation that are carried out in conceptual information retrieval, the challenges faced by the existing research to expatiate requirements of future research. In addition, the conceptual information that are extracted from the different sources for utilizing the semantic representation by the existing systems have been discussed.

This research is a qualitative descriptive study that aims to describe the ability of mathematical representation of high-ability students to solve non-routine problems based on representation indicators. The subjects of this study were students of class XI-IPA Palopo 1 High School. The steps carried out in this study are (1) Observation, (2) Selection of subjects, (3) Non-routine problems, (4) Interviews, (5) Making conclusions on the results of the study. The instrument of this study was the researchers themselves, with the help of several supporting instruments such as (1) diagnostic tests, (2) interview guidelines, and (3) non-routine mathematical tests. The results obtained from this study are highly capable subjects in completing non-routine questions tend to use alternative methods, think inductively and deductively, create conceptual information networks, describe a concept in the form of algebraic symbols, graphic images, patterns , and equations.
