Emotional perception was examined in stroke patients across 3 communication channels: facial, prosodic, and lexical. Hemispheric specialization for emotion tested via right-hemisphere (RH) valence hypotheses, relationships among channels were determined. Participants 11 right-brain-damaged (RBD), 10 left-brain-damaged (LBD), 15 demographically matched normal control (NC) adults. Experimental measures, with analogous psychometric properties, identification discrimination tasks, including a...
We compared the effects of fixed and variable (proportional) spacing on reading speeds found pitch to yield better performance at medium large character sizes be superior for approaching acuity limit. The data indicate least two crowding smallest sizes: one that interferes with individual identification word identification. A control experiment using rapid serial visual presentation suggests it is greater horizontal compression consequently reduced eye-movement requirements are responsible...
Abstract The primary purpose of this study was to examine the perception lexical/verbal emotion across adult life span. Secondary goals were contribution gender and valence (i.e., pleasantness/unpleasantness) processing lexical emotional stimuli. Participants 28 young (ages 20-39), middle-aged 40-59), older 60-85) right-handed adults; there 14 men women in each age group. Age groups comparable on demographic cognitive variables. made accuracy judgments intensity ratings (both positive...
The current study examined the effects of age and gender on emotional nonemotional expression using an experimental word list generation (WLG) task (also referred to in literature as verbal fluency) from New York Emotion Battery (Borod, Welkowitz, & Obler, 1992). Subjects were 28 young (M = 29.6 years), middle-aged 49.8 older 69.9 years) healthy adults. WLG consists 8 (E; 3 positive 5 negative) (NE) categories. We developed present here a detailed error-type analysis that was used evaluate...
Does the higher information density of variable width fonts support faster reading than can be obtained with fixed spacing? We compared maximum speeds on a CRT using identical characters serifs in three conditions pitch: (1) (FW), each character centered constant horizontal space, (2) (VW), occupying only space required to eliminate overlap, and (3) modified (MVW), average equated that FW condition through addition interword microspace. found for large (~0.25-1.0° height), subjects read...
Variable width (often called proportionally-spaced) fonts pack more characters, and hence information, into a line of text than do fixed fonts. They are thus preferred by typographers, who use them as means fitting on fewer pages. Does this higher density result in faster or slower reading speeds? We compared maximum speeds CRT using identical characters under three conditions pitch: 1) (FW), each character centered constant horizontal space, 2) variable (VW), occupying only the space...
