Abstract:

Word imageability, the degree to which different words arouse imagery, is a powerful variable affecting mental imagery and memory. This study examined whether word imageability varies depending on the context within which words are presented. We randomly sampled abstract (low imageability) words and also concrete (high imageability) words from available norms. Introductory psychology students rated the words for imageability in different contexts. In the mixed content, students rated the abstract and concrete words mixed within the same set of words, similarly to the way words were rated in the norms. Concrete words were rated as more imageable than abstract words, replicating results from the norms. In the unmixed contents, students rated only abstract words or only concrete words. Surprisingly, concrete and abstract words no longer differed in rated imageability. We concluded that word imageability is not due to the mental imagery aroused by a particular word. Rather, a word's imageability is profoundly influenced by the imageability of surrounding words. This outcome opposes the typical interpretation that word imageability measures the abstractness-concreteness of the referenced object and also how recallable the word will be.

Abstract:

The hippocampus is thought to support association-memory, particularly when tested with cued recall. One of the most well-known and studied factors that influences accuracy of verbal association-memory is imageability; participants remember pairs of high-imageability words better than pairs of low-imageability words. High-imageability words are also remembered better in tests of item-memory. However, we previously found that item-memory effects could not explain the enhancement in cued recall, suggesting that imageability enhances association-memory strength. Here we report an fMRI study designed to ask, what is the role of the hippocampus in the memory advantage for associations due to imageability? We tested two alternative hypotheses: (1) Recruitment Hypothesis: High-imageability pairs are remembered better because they recruit the underlying hippocampal association-memory function more effectively. Alternatively, (2) Bypassing Hypothesis: Imageability functions by making the association-forming process easier, enhancing memory in a way that bypasses the hippocampus, as has been found, for example, with explicit unitization imagery strategies. Results found, first, hippocampal BOLD signal was greater during study and recall of high- than low-imageability word pairs. Second, the difference in activity between recalled and forgotten pairs showed a main effect, but no significant interaction with imageability, challenging the bypassing hypothesis, but consistent with the predictions derived from the recruitment hypothesis. Our findings suggest that certain stimulus properties, like imageability, may leverage, rather than avoid, the associative function of the hippocampus to support superior association-memory.

Abstract:

This study was designed to dissociate the effects of vividness from those of imageability (and other imagery-related properties) of nouns. Mental image latencies and vividness ratings were collected for nouns of common objects with known imageability, concreteness and meaningfulness norms [1]. Two subsets of nouns were identified with vividness and, alternatively, imageability approximately constant; then, the effects of all noun-properties were examined using hierarchical multiple regression. Image latency was strongly related to vividness when noun imageability was controlled (Analysis 1). Conversely, latency was strongly related to imageability for nouns eliciting approximately same vividness ratings (Analysis 2). In both analyses, concreteness and meaningfulness were redundant. Imageability and vividness are dissociable and can be used to investigate distinct working memory and neurocognitive components of imagery.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTVerbs are harder to learn than nouns in English and in many other languages, but are relatively easy to learn in Chinese. This paper evaluates one potential explanation for these findings by examining the construct of imageability, or the ability of a word to produce a mental image. Chinese adults rated the imageability of Chinese words from the Chinese Communicative Development Inventory (Tardif et al., in press). Imageability ratings were a reliable predictor of age of acquisition in Chinese for both nouns and verbs. Furthermore, whereas early Chinese and English nouns do not differ in imageability, verbs receive higher imageability ratings in Chinese than in English. Compared with input frequency, imageability independently accounts for a portion of the variance in age of acquisition (AoA) of verb learning in Chinese and English.

Abstract:

This study investigated the associations of imageability with fear reactivity. Imageability ratings of four word classes: positive and negative (i) emotional and (ii) propriosensitive, neutral and negative (iii) theoretical and (iv) neutral concrete filler, and fear reactivity scores—degree of fearfulness towards different situations (Total Fear (TF) score) and total number of extreme fears and phobias (Extreme Fear (EF) score), were obtained from 171 participants. Correlations between imageability, TF and EF scores were tested to analyze how word categories and their valence were associated with fear reactivity. Imageability ratings were submitted to recursive partitioning. Participants with high TF and EF scores had higher imageability for negative emotional and negative theoretical words. The correlations between imageability of negative emotional words and negative theoretical words for EF score were significant. Males showed stronger correlations for imageability of negative emotional words for EF and TF scores. High imageability for positive emotional words was associated with lower fear reactivity in females. These findings were discussed with regard to negative attentional bias theory of anxiety, influence on emotional systems, and gender-specific coping styles. This study provides insight into cognitive functions involved in mental imagery, semantic competence for mental imagery in relation to fear reactivity, and a potential psycholinguistic instrument assessing fear reactivity.

Abstract:

abstractReaction times for a translation recognition study are reported where novice to expert English–ASL bilinguals rejected English translation distractors for ASL signs that were related to the correct translations through phonology, semantics, or both form and meaning (diagrammatic iconicity). Imageability ratings of concepts impacted performance in all conditions; when imageability was high, participants showed interference for phonologically related distractors, and when imageability was low participants showed interference for semantically related distractors, regardless of proficiency. For diagrammatically related distractors high imageability caused interference in experts, but low imageability caused interference in novices. These patterns suggest that imageability and diagrammaticity interact with proficiency – experts process diagrammatic related distractors phonologically, but novices process them semantically. This implies that motivated signs are dependent on the entrenchment of language systematicity; rather than decreasing their impact on language processing as proficiency grows, they build on the original benefit conferred by iconic mappings.

Abstract:

AbstractPsycholinguistic databases containing ratings of concreteness, imageability, age of acquisition, and subjective frequency are used in psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic studies which require words as stimuli. Linguistic characteristics (e.g. word length, corpus frequency) are frequently coded, but word class is seldom systematically treated, although there are indications of its significance for imageability and concreteness. This paper presents the Croatian Psycholinguistic Database (CPD; available at: 10.17234/megahr.2019.hpb), containing 6000 Croatian nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, rated for concreteness, imageability, age of acquisition, and subjective frequency. Moreover, we present computationally obtained extrapolations of concreteness and imageability to the remainder of the Croatian lexicon (available at: https://github.com/megahr/lexicon/blob/master/predictions/hr_c_i.predictions.txt). In the two studies presented here, we explore the significance of word class for concreteness and imageability in human and computationally obtained ratings. The observed correlations in the CPD indicate correspondences between psycholinguistic measures expected from the literature. Word classes exhibit differences in subjective frequency, age of acquisition, concreteness and imageability, with significant differences between nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. In the computational study which focused on concreteness and imageability, concreteness obtained higher correlations with human ratings than imageability, and the system underpredicted the concreteness of nouns, and overpredicted the concreteness of adjectives and adverbs. Overall, this suggests that word class contains schematic conceptual and distributional information. Schematic conceptual content seems to be more significant in human ratings of concreteness and less significant in computationally obtained ratings, where distributional information seems to play a more significant role. This suggests that word class differences should be theoretically explored.

Abstract:

Word imageability, a semantic variable, in naming by beginning readers of English is well documented particularly with poor readers naming high image-able words more accurately than low imageable words. The present study examined the role of imageability on word naming by 20 good and 20 poor beginning readers as a function of orthographic transparency by utilizing the peculiarities of the transparent Turkish writing system. Neither good nor poor beginning readers show any evidence of imageability for Turkish suggesting that the contribution of imageability to word naming may indeed be determined by orthographic transparency. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract:

Although many studies have demonstrated the effects of imageability and phonological neighborhood size, few have examined if these factors interact. Strain, Patterson, and Seidenberg (1995) explained an imageability effect in naming low-frequency exception words (only) as being due to a slowing of orthographic-to-phonological mapping for these words, which allowed semantics to have an effect. Tyler, Voice, and Moss (2000) showed an interaction between imageability and phonological cohort size in word repetition. Westbury and Buchanan (2006) found an interaction between imageability and phonology using an auditory false memory paradigm that measured the false recognition rate for phonological associates of semantically primed words. They explained the finding in terms of a greater reliance of abstract than concrete words on phonological representations. In this paper we test three related hypotheses: that the imageability x phonology interaction should be modulated by modality; that measures of phonological processing fluency should predict the size of the interaction; and that concrete and abstract words should show a systematic difference in number of phonological neighbours. We find support for all three hypotheses, suggesting that the interaction between imageability and phonology reflects a difference in the representation of abstract and concrete words in the lexicon.

Abstract:

Three experiments investigated whether reading aloud is affected by a semantic variable, imageability. The first two experiments used English, and the third experiment used Japanese Kanji as a way of testing the generality of the findings across orthographies. The results replicated the earlier findings that readers were slower and more error prone in reading low-frequency exception words when they were low in imageability than when they were high in imageability (Strain, Patterson, & Seidenberg, 1995). This result held for both English and Kanji even when age of acquisition was taken into account as a possible confounding variable, and the imageability effect was stronger in Kanji compared to English.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis has developed an extension to the theory set out by Kevin Lynch’s in his book ‘The Image of the City’ published in 1960. The extension has been undertaken by adding the factor ‘meaning’ through social symbols study to the observation of urban spaces. While Lynch’s theory focused on the legibility factor of urban spaces, this thesis focuses on the meaning factor of places that is attached to urban elements. Social symbol study has developed a framework to observe urban spaces in order to read and understand spaces. This framework is based on a combination of the study about perceived-conceived-lived spaces, and place attachment study. Empirical work has been undertaken in the setting of kampungs in Surabaya city, and with groups of young adults. The thesis showed that the recognition of urban elements based on legibility and meaning is different; and the elements that are legible are not automatically meaningful. For a specific social and physical urban condition such as the Indonesian kampungs, meaning observation is more crucial than legibility. Findings from this empirical work have contributed the consideration of the social factor to Lynch’s theory. The five physical urban elements of Lynch (paths, nodes, districts, edges, and landmarks), on which he based legibility, have been reinterpreted to become four social elements, namely ‘historical value’, ‘social spaces creation’, ‘territoriality creation’, and ‘point of references’. This extension, which this thesis calls Spatial Recognition, has added one new element, the ‘historical value’, and extended the meaning of Lynch’s five elements. Spatial Recognition aims not only to read the physical environment but also to understand society.

In the advent of the intelligent age, the focal point of communal activity becomes the civic forum of information exchange. The interface of art, information and communication to the civic arena anticipates a public place for collective creativity and intelligence. An Exploratorium for Art and Interactive Telecommunications can become the heart of a city's activities with different levels of individual and group participation in the public exchange of ideas, thoughts, issues and events. Such a place of discourse can become a center to create, contemplate and learn, a place that is an extension of ourselves, our city and beyond. Interactive telecommunications speaks a language of creativity and connection. It is a technology not of monologue but of conversation. This local forum can become an urban oasis for the freedom of interaction and personal expression in an unfolding chain of dramas that will impart new meaning to the city symbolic. Amidst the shifting complexity of an urban environment, such a public place of high imageability can form a stable focus for daily human existence. The imageability of the Exploratorium need not arise purely from monumentalism or novel aesthetics. The legibility of this public place can instead ensue from a rich application and ordering of experiential form. The design intention of this thesis is to create a public place with a spirit and identity that is vivid, distinct and engaging to the individual; an imageable place of public pride and civic rejuvenation that reflects both the depth and the complexity of a collective human experience.

Abstract:

The games industry has developed online multiplayer three-dimensional game worlds that allow players from different geographical locations to engage in competitive and cooperative gameplay together. This has enabled players from different cultures to inhabit the same virtual game world, bypassing any geographical or cultural boundaries found in the real world. These 3D game worlds ask the player to use the basic principles of spatial awareness and movement from the real world, and are often virtual representations of real world environments. These spaces are designed for players from all nationalities to inhabit concurrently. There is now a need to determine design considerations for these multicultural multiplayer game worlds but any investigation must consider the historical evidence from the games industry of cultural differences in gameplay preferences. This thesis discusses the effect of cultural knowledge on the spatial design and interpretation of three-dimensional game environments that are based on real world affordances. A new methodology for the comparative analysis of the design of three-dimensional game environments is established using Space Syntax metrics. This facilitates the discussion of cultural models applied to design thinking for the implementation and interpretation of game environments. Through spatial metrics the analysis of the intelligibility underlying three-dimensional game environments is correlated to the imageability of the projected two-dimensional screen image. The application of this methodology to internationally popular, and culturally specific, game environments establishes new knowledge on tacit cultural influences within game design processes. The analysed intelligibility of the environments indicates cognitive differences between Eastern and Western cultures, already recognised in the interpretation of two-dimensional imagery, also exist within the design and interpretation of three-dimensional game spaces. This study establishes a new methodology through the analysis of intelligibility for design research into game environments. The resulting evaluation of tacit cultural influences within the design of the environments establishes new cultural differences and commonalities. These design characteristics can inform future game design methodologies within industry for the design and implementation of multicultural game environments.

Abstract:

A more water-coherent approach is postulated as a primary pathway through which biophilic urbanism contributes to livability and climate change adaptation. Previous studies have shown that upstream water retention is more cost-effective than downstream for mitigating flood risks downstream. This dissertation proposes a research design for generating an iconography of water urbanism to make upstream cities more coherent. I tested a hypothesis of aquaphilic urbanism as a water-based sense of place that evokes water-based place attachment to help adapt cities and individuals to water-coherent urbanism. Cognitive mapping, photovoice, and emotional recall protocols were conducted during semi‐structured interviews with 60 residents and visitors sampled from eight water-centric cities in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. The participants provided 55 sketch maps. I performed content analyses, regression analyses, path analyses, and mediation analyses to study the relationships of 1) pictorial aquaphilia (intrinsic attachment to safe and clean water scenes) and waterscape imageability, 2) waterscape imageability and the coherence of city image, 3) egocentric aquaphilia (attachment to water-based spatial anchors) and allocentric aquaphilia (attachment to water-centric cities), and 4) the coherence of city image, allocentric aquaphilia, and openness towards water-coherent urbanism. Content analyses show that waterscape imageability and pictorial aquaphilia were the two most common reasons why participants mentioned the five waterscape types, including water landmarks, canals, lakes, rivers, and harbors, during the three recall protocols. Regression analyses indicate that water is a sixth element of imageability and that the imageable structure of canals and rivers and the identifiability of water landmarks significantly influenced the aesthetic coherence of city image. Path analyses suggest that allocentric aquaphilia can be attributed to water-based familiarity, water-based place identity (or identifiability), water-based comfort, and water-based place dependence (or orientation) evoked by water-based spatial anchors. Mediation analyses reveal that water-based goal affordance (as a construct of water-based comfort and water-based place dependence) aided environmental adaptation, while water-based imageability (as a construct of water-based familiarity and water-based place identity) helped adapt cities and individuals to water-coherent urbanism. Canal mappability mediated the effects of gender and of visitor versus resident on the coherence of city image to facilitate environmental adaptation.

Shahid, Aisha. "Using word frequency and parafoveal preview to determine the locus of contextual predictability and imageability effects : evidence from eye movements during reading and lexical decision." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2014. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5242/.

Full text

Abstract:

The present thesis examines the time course of two semantic variables, contextual predictability and word imageability. Both variables can be said to reflect semantic aspects of meaning. For example the contextual predictability of a given target indicates the semantic context within which the target word occurs. The imageability of a given word reflects the meaning aspects of the word itself (Whaley, 1978). The word frequency effect (the faster response to commonly used high frequency words compared to low frequency words which occur less often) was taken to index the moment of lexical access (Balota, 1990; Pollatsek & Rayner, 1990; Sereno & Rayner, 2003) and by applying the logic of additive factors method (Sternberg, 1969a, 1969b), we determined whether the combined effect of each respective semantic variable was additive or interactive. This allowed us to examine whether there are semantic influences on lexical access. Previous research has been undecided and the question remains as to whether semantic variables operate during the lexical access processing stage, or alternatively after lexical access, for example in the post-lexical stage (e.g., Hand, Miellet, Sereno & O’Donnell, 2010; Sereno, O’Donnell & Rayner, 2006). Another aim of the thesis was to address the issue concerning the information presented to participants in the condition of ‘invalid parafoveal preview of a target’ (e.g., Sereno & Rayner, 2000). Several criteria were identified as being important in order to make the assumption that parafoveal processing was successfully inhibited on the pre-target fixation. Another aim of the thesis was to investigate whether word frequency and contextual predictability of the parafoveal word affected parafoveal preview benefit. Preview benefit was calculated by subtracting fixation durations in a condition of ‘valid’ preview of the target with an ‘invalid’ preview of the target. Experiment 1 utilised a lexical decision task to investigate the relationship between word frequency and the imageability of the word. Experiment 2 investigated whether the orthogonal manipulation of word frequency and contextual predictability led to an additive or interactive relationship between these two variables. Two pre-tests, the rating and Cloze tasks, were used to determine the predictability of the target. Experiment 3 and a further cross comparison of Experiments 2 and 3 replicated and extended Experiment 2 by additionally using an eye movement-contingent boundary change paradigm (Rayner, 1975). Experiment 4 examined the joint and combined effects of frequency, predictability and preview in a within-subjects design. A separate pre-test Cloze task was used to determine predictability of targets in their low and high predictable contexts. This experiment used a larger set of materials than in the previous experiments to examine these variables. Finally Chapter 6 was an overall discussion of the thesis. It was concluded that display screen presentations in our eye tracking experiments led to very fast reading times (as well as more skipping) compared to past studies which have used dot-matrix display presentations. It is possible that faster fixation durations led to floor effects in conditions where reading times are already fast because of preferential circumstances of high frequency targets, high predictable contexts and being given a parafoveal preview of the target. Possible ways to counteract this floor effect as well as alternative experimental methods of investigation were discussed.

Abstract:

L’objectif de cette thèse était d’étudier le rôle des caractéristiques lexicales et émotionnelles dans la mémorisation des mots écrits chez l’adulte en fonction de l’âge et des compétences langagières. Tout d’abord, nous avons étudié l’effet du voisinage orthographique dans la mémorisation des mots (Exp. 1-3). Les résultats suggèrent que la fréquence du voisinage n’influence pas la mémorisation des mots (Exp. 1). En revanche, la densité du voisinage a un effet inhibiteur dans les tâches de reconnaissance mnésique (Exp. 2-3) notamment lorsque les mots sont peu imageables (Exp. 3). Cet effet de densité du voisinage varie selon les compétences langagières (Exp. 2) et selon l’âge (Exp. 3). Puis, nous avons étudié l’influence de la valence émotionnelle des mots lors de leur mémorisation (Exp. 4-6). Un effet facilitateur de la valence a été obtenu dans les tâches de rappel et de reconnaissance mnésique chez les adultes jeunes et âgés (Exp. 4). L’imageabilité des mots influence les effets de valence émotionnelle chez les adultes jeunes. Une préférence pour les mots positifs imageables a notamment été montrée sur les performances de rappel (Exp. 5) et de reconnaissance mnésique (Exp. 6). Enfin, l’effet de la valence du voisinage orthographique a été testé (Exp.7 ; 9). Les données ont indiqué un effet de la valence du voisinage dans les tâches de rappel (Exp. 7 ; 9) et de reconnaissance (Exp. 7) qui varie selon l’âge (Exp. 9). Des estimations de familiarité et d’imageabilité (Etude 8) recueillies auprès de 1238 adultes d’âge différent (18-85 ans) pour les 1286 mots de la base EMA (Gobin et al., 2017) ont montré que les relations entre ces variables et les caractéristiques émotionnelles des mots étaient modifiées selon l’âge. Les résultats sont interprétés au sein d’une approche combinant les modèles de reconnaissance visuelle de mots de type Activation Interactive aux modèles de mémoire à doubles processus
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of lexical and emotional characteristics in written word memory for adults as a function of age and language skills. First, we studied the effect of orthographic neighbourhood in word memory (Exp. 1-3). The results suggested that orthographic neighbourhood frequency did not influence word memory (Exp.1). However, orthographic neighbourhood density had an inhibitory effect in recognition memory tasks (Exp.2- 3), especially when the word was low imageable (Exp.3). This neighbourhood effect varied as a function of language skills (Exp. 2) and age (Exp.3). Then, we studied the influence of emotional valence in word memory (Exp. 4-6). A facilitatory effect of valence was obtained in recall and recognition memory tasks for young and older adults (Exp.4). Word imageabiliy influenced the effect of word emotional valence in young adults. A preference toward imageable positive words was found on recall (Exp. 5) and recognition performance (Exp 6). Finally, the effect of orthographic neighbourhood valence was tested (Exp.7; 9). The data indicated an effect of neighbourhood emotional valence in recall (Exp.7; 9) and recognition (Exp.7) tasks that varied with ageing (Exp. 9). Estimates of word familiarity and imageability (Study 8) collected from 1238 adults of different age (18-85 years) for the 1286 words from the lexical database EMA (Gobin et al., 2017) indicated that relationships between these variables and the emotional characteristics of words were changed according to age. In study 8, 1286 words from the lexical database EMA (Gobin et al., 2017) were evaluated no familiarity and imageability by 1238 adults (18-85 years old). Data have demonstrated that relationships between these variables and the emotional characteristics of words were modified according to age. Results are interpreted within a theoretical framework that combines Interactive Activation models of visual word recognition with dual processes memory models
