This is not a semantic difference.
These processes ensured that the test items do not undergo semantic and conceptual deviations from the original scale and are prepared to fit to the definitions of the construct.
RAPM, Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices WAISS, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale DQQ, deviation quotient Semantic distance values predicted participants' WAIS total scores in the cued (ß =.47, p <.001), but not the uncued (ß = −.09, p =.17), condition (see Fig. 6).
A negative correlation was documented between the extent of the bias deviation and the semantic distance.
SD, standard deviation; LSA, latent semantic analysis; frq, frequency.
The extent of this deviation depends strongly on semantic type – a measure of the logicality of each word – and less strongly on frequency.
Translation and back translation identified 21 linguistic- and semantic related issues and 3 context related deviations, resolved by developers and translators.
Semantic interoperability requires unambiguous semantics.
Altogether, 21 linguistic- and semantic-related issues and 3 context (country) related deviations were identified and discussed, as presented in Table 5.
Because inconsistencies prevent query answering and semantic interoperability, a framework for phenotypic descriptions must accommodate statements about deviations from reference models without leading to inconsistencies.
Loeb notes that on virtually any reasonable theory of language, meaning and reference are at least partly determined by the semantic intentions and commitments of ordinary speakers, suitably adjusted to account for performance errors and other deviations.
