For example, in the paragraph below, she was able to orchestrate a dialogue (Bakhtin, 1981) between three theorists, paraphrasing their opinions with fairly neutral verbs suggests and advocates, such that the audience can read and judge the ideas on their own, which Hu and Wang (2014) describe as an employment of "attitude-free" verbs (p. 21).
Neutral verbs included stimuli such as to accompany, to continue, and to install.
The final draft expands on Borba's arguments by including a quote that gives the rationale for supporting such an opinion, starting with She states that… Mara creates a dialogically expansive space by using a relatively neutral reporting verb, states.
T1 verbs and distractor verbs were selected from a pool of neutral German verbs for which ratings were obtained separately.
Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded as participants made decisions on the lexicality of emotionally positive, negative, and neutral German verbs or pseudowords, and on the integrity of intact happy, angry, and neutral faces or slightly distorted faces.
In the maps where an attitude is not identifiable, the students only use neutral, or even no, verbs related to creativity.
The AB refers to a period of reduced awareness for second-target stimuli following a first target by an interval of about 200 500 ms. Pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant written verbs were used as second targets in an 8.6-Hz RSVP paradigm that contained affectively neutral words as distractors.
Pleasant (mean arousal rating 7.06; mean valence rating 7.87), neutral (2.61; 4.99), and unpleasant (7.62; 1.61) verbs served as T2 stimuli in the RSVP task.
Based on an ongoing rating study, we selected 90 German verbs (30 pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant exemplars, respectively) to be maximally different regarding their emotional valence and arousal in a two-dimensional affective (valence × arousal) space.
Relative to neutral and negative stimuli both positive verbs and happy faces elicited posterior ERP negativities that were indistinguishable in scalp distribution and resembled the early posterior negativities reported by others.
