Griffiths et al. [8] presented an extension of the topic model that is sensitive to word order and automatically learns the syntactic factors as well as the semantic ones.
Critically-trained students, on the other hand, are sensitive to word choice and wary about how words can infect them with bias.
Overall, it seems that while the left occipito/temporal area is sensitive to word visual familiarity, the temporo/parietal area is more sensitive to phonological legality.
Although there has been some debate about the exact locus of the word frequency effect (e.g. Balota & Chumbley, 1984; Mccann et al., 1988; Paap & Johansen, 1994), recent behavioural studies have provided strong evidence that early word recognition processes are sensitive to word frequency (Allen et al., 2005; Cleland et al., 2006).
In a final study, aimed at investigating the role of orthographic familiarity, phonological legality and number of orthographic neighbors of words in determining the onset of word/non-word discriminative responses, the findings of Proverbio and co-workers [ 27] confirm that the left occipito-temporal area, in particular BA37, was sensitive to word visual familiarity.
Results can be sensitive to question wording and ordering, and cognition difficulties when understanding small changes in probabilities are required.
Participants were found to be sensitive to the wording in the OPDG; they explained that some of the wording undermined their autonomy in care settings.
With companies that have large legal departments and public relations firms that are looking at communications, they're going to be sensitive to their wording and plausible deniability more so than any individual, unless that person is a pretty precise linguist.
"One of the strongest predictors of whether or not you are going to be sensitive to surge in other words, whether or not you are going to kind of say, oh, I'll give it a 10 to 15 minutes to see if surge goes away—is how much battery you have left on your cell phone," Keith Chen, Uber's head of economic research said.
That's particularly true on this topic, which has proved to be sensitive to small changes in wording and possibly to differences in methodology.
