Age differences in the contribution of recollection and familiarity to false-memory formation: a new paradigm to examine developmental reversals
No full textUsing a new method for studying the development of false-memory formation, we examined developmental differences in the rates at which 6-, 7-, 9-, 10-, and 18-year-olds made two types of memory errors: backward causal-inference errors (i.e. falsely remembering having viewed the non-viewed cause of a previously viewed effect), and gap-filling errors (i.e. falsely remembering having viewed a script-consistent event that was not actually witnessed). Previous research suggests that backward causal- inference errors are supported by recollection, whereas gap-filling errors are supported by familiarity.We hypothesized that age differences in these errors would parallel the developmental trajectories of these processes. As predicted, age-related increases in backward causal-inference errors were observed, while gap-filling errors were age-invariant, suggesting that recollection-based memory distortions increase with age while familiarity-based memory distortions are relatively stable from middle childhood through adulthood
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Security for Whom? Changing Discourses on Food in Europe
No full textAfter the CAP reform of 1992 a (partial) consensus had been progressively reached in Europe among stakeholders over multifunctionality, an approach combining liberalization – which would make agriculture more reactive to market signals – with the principle of rewarding farmers for the positive impact of their activity both on the environment and on society. The mid-term review of CAP done in 2003, almost fully decoupling production from subsidies, has brought out scenarios of agricultural restructuring based on a dualism between mass agriculture, more and more integrated into global markets and aligned with the agribusiness and the retail chains, and agriculture for rural development, more and more diversified, integrated with the territory, adopting sustainable processes, developing new models of entrepreneurship based on internalization of operations (processing, selling to consumers, producing feed for animals), on more intense communication toward citizens, consumers and tourists, and on an active search for market niches and hybrid market coalitions.
The food crisis has changed radically the policy agenda and the public debate on Agriculture. Having occupied a central position in the media, the issue has suddenly unified aspects formerly held separate – food security in the world, internal food prices, climate change, biofuels, sustainable agriculture, food quality, GMOs – into one discourse. It has unified the concerns for real income erosion of low and middle class families with the concerns for the hunger in the world. It has put into question the power of supermarket chains and their monopolistic behavior. It has made more acute the dilemmas emerging within the alternative food movements, related to the links and trade-offs between alternative food products price, small farmers’ incomes, consumers’ incomes, sustainability, consumption styles.
The paper, after an outline the current situation in the EU in relation to food availability, food provisioning, food security issues, and the policies that are in place to foster food security for Europe, will analyze how, for effect of the food crisis debate, discourses about food and agriculture and discourse coalitions are changing, and which effect they have had or may have on policy arrangements at national and at EU level. In particular, the paper will analyze how main actors (EU commission, member states, NGOs, food movements, farmers’ unions, agribusiness, supermarket chains, scientists) articulate their positions and their strategies on issues such as the degree of protection of internal markets, the level of public support to agriculture, research and technology policies, models of agriculture, consumption styles. The paper will also discuss how actors belonging to the ‘mass production coalition’ use issues such as world hunger, internal food prices, climate change, the oil crisis to refurbish the image of industrial agriculture and its legitimization. A concluding section will discuss the prospects for alternative food networks in the new scenario and will outline some principles for a research agenda
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
