It should be noted that there is an important formal difference between the Z-conjunction, as herein defined, and the classical conjunction.
However, there was no difference in RTs between the conjunction and color task even though accuracy was significantly poorer in the former, and significantly faster RTs in the angle than color task even though accuracy was equivalent.
No other comparisons in Experiment 1b were significant, F < 1 in all cases except for the difference between the A and B conjunction and the A and not-B conjunction, F 1,18) = 2.517, p = .130.130
Other linguists may well disagree, as with question 38, which asks the children to spot the difference between a "subordinating conjunction" and a "preposition" where it is the same word, "after".
In left temporal cortex, angle was significantly greater than color and conjunction (P < 0.001 in both cases); the difference between color and conjunction was not significant (P = 0.67) (Fig. 4b).
Fig. 6 Midline electrode sites and topographic voltage maps representing distribution across the scalp for the difference between Non-Conjunction and Conjunction sequences for frequent and infrequent readers of Japanese manga "while growing up".
In right occipital cortex, color and conjunction were significantly greater than angle (P < 0.01 in both cases); the difference between color and conjunction was not significant (P = 0.48).
Why is staring at a small screen for hours playing a game involving colourful dancing mushrooms (for example) a danger tantamount to downing shots of mercury, but staring for hours at a teacher trying to convey the difference between a subordinating conjunction and a preposition is perfectly harmless?
This figure again illustrates the qualitative difference between conjunction search and singleton search: in both singleton search tasks, the difference between both target colors appears to remain constant across bins; in both conjunction search tasks, long-term priming is small when responses are quick, and gradually increases as RTs are slower.
The genetic algorithm tries to minimize the root-mean square difference (RMSD) between observed and predicted accuracy, in conjunction with the difference between the observed and predicted d' (both accuracy and d' contributed equally to the RMSD).
