Sentence examples for measure spreading from inspiring English sources

More importantly, for the purpose of this investigation, our use of word frequencies from the COWAT and AN test to measure spreading activation is potentially adaptable for measuring spreading activation in visuospatial memory networks.

A major increase in data was available to DeMets et al. (1990 , 1994, who produced model NUVEL1 and NUVEL1A which was a revision to NUVEL1 caused by a slight change in the estimated age of the magnetic anomaly used to measure spreading rates.

Our word frequency paradigm represents a more "top down" approach to measuring spreading activation by having individuals create their own stimuli and hence may also represent more of a "free" or "natural" flow of spreading activation within lexical/semantic networks.

We have used the words generated from the controlled oral word association test (COWAT) as a basis for measuring spreading activation (see Foster et al. [8]) and used a similar paradigm in this investigation.

The purpose of the present investigation was to replicate and extend our earlier findings and to use a method that would result in a greater variability in ages of memories and provide different indices of measuring spreading activation.

In the present study, we investigated the contribution of local ATP generation by CK-B to actomyosin dynamics by measuring spreading and motility of astrocytes and MEFs.
