Bridging the Gap: Transitive Associations between Items Presented in Similar Temporal Contexts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Howard, Marc W.; Jing, Bing; Rao, Vinayak A.; Provyn, Jennifer P.; Datey, Aditya V. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
In episodic memory tasks, associations are formed between items presented close together in time. The temporal context model (TCM) hypothesizes that this contiguity effect is a consequence of shared temporal context rather than temporal proximity per se. Using double-function lists of paired associates (e.g., A-B, B-C) presented in a random order,…

Modeling Speech Disfluency to Predict Conceptual Misalignment in Speech Survey Interfaces
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ehlen, Patrick; Schober, Michael F.; Conrad, Frederick G. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2007
Computer-based interviewing systems could use models of respondent disfluency behaviors to predict a need for clarification of terms in survey questions. This study compares simulated speech interfaces that use two such models--a generic model and a stereotyped model that distinguishes between the speech of younger and older speakers--to several…
