This was designed to be used alongside the PPT test, which assesses the semantic knowledge of nouns.
For every noun verb pair (72 pairs per subject), we assessed the semantic distance between the noun and the verb, using latent semantic analysis (LSA).
The difference in semantic or conceptual properties of nouns and verbs led to the creation of the Kissing and Dancing Test (KDT; Bak & Hodges, 2003), which assesses the semantic knowledge of verbs.
In our future studies, it is suggested to enhance the ontological vector model by incorporating more algorithmic elements from information content model, which spans an essential dimension of assessing the semantic similarity [ 20].
They assessed the semantic abilities of a group of left hemisphere stroke patients (the same patients as in the 2006 study) and found an overall refractory behaviour in those patients whose lesion involved the left inferior prefrontal cortex as well as the temporal lobes.
We report a series of experiments designed to assess the effect of audiovisual semantic congruency on the identification of visually-presented pictures.
ONTOCOM is part of a broader framework we have developed over the five years, whose aim is to assess the business value of semantic technologies through a suite of methods, estimation models and project management tools, by which the costs and benefits of the corresponding projects are defined, measured and analyzed.
Both before and after training or a comparable duration in the case of the passive controls, participants completed a semantically cued Go/No-Go task that was designed to assess the effects of depth of semantic processing on response inhibition and components of event-related potentials (ERP) related to response inhibition.
Performance on three verbal measures (story recall, paired associated learning, category fluency) designed to assess the integration of long-term semantic and linguistic knowledge, phonological working memory and executive resources within the proposed 'episodic buffer' of working memory (Baddeley, 2007) was assessed in children with intellectual disabilities (ID).
In order to assess the integrity of putative pre-semantic object representations for complex sounds, we devised a test requiring differentiation of real (possible) and novel (impossible) sounds that might be considered an auditory 'object decision' test, analogous to the object decision test in vision (Warrington and James, 1991).
