A comparison between written and spoken narratives in aphasia.
29 Jun 2009 The aim of the present study was to explore how a personal narrative told by a group of eight persons with aphasia differed between written and spoken language, and to compare this with findings from 10 participants in a reference group. The stories ...

An encounter frequency account of how experience affects likelihood estimation.
29 Jun 2009 When making judgments, people often favor information received from a few individual sources over large-sample statistical data. Individual information is usually acquired piece by piece, whereas statistical information combines many observations ...

Rules and heuristics during sentence comprehension: evidence from a dual-task brain potential study.
29 Jun 2009 Whether syntactic and semantic processes during sentence comprehension follow strict sets of rules or succumb to context-dependent heuristics was studied by recording event-related potentials in a dual-task design. In one condition, ...
