An Evaluation of Simulations in Developmental Disabilities (SIDD): Instructional Software that Provides Practice in Behavioral Assessment and Treatment Decisions

ABSTRACT

Simulations in Developmental Disabilities (SIDD) is a multimedia computer program designed to provide undergraduate psychology students with practice in making assessment and treatment decisions. Eighteen undergraduate psychology students participated in an experiment to test the instructional effectiveness of SIDD. Post-test scores were significantly higher in the experimental group who received training with SIDD than in a control group who did not receive training. The students also rated the software positively. Future strategies to further evaluate the software are discussed.     

我国翻译质量评价研究的现状与趋势

翻译质量评价研究在我国译学研究中已经走过了相当一段路程,并取得了不小的成绩。论文围绕我国翻译质量评价之歧路、西方翻译评价理论在中国之引介、翻译质量评价新动向等方面对国内翻译质量评价研究的现状进行梳理,以期对我国的翻译质量评价研究提供参考。作为译学研究的重要组成部分,功能语言学为翻译质量评价提供了强大理论基础,语料库研究为其提供了可资借鉴的实证研究路径,将这二者结合或可使翻译评价研究走出一条新路。     

论中国古代文体的规定性及符号学特征

针对中国古代文体的规定性和符号学特征,从两个方面展开对中国古代文体学的学科思考：一是从基内涵与对象出发,探索中国古代文体学的性质;二是依据符号学理论阐述“文体”对内容的规定性,并通过和西方文体学之间的比较,确立文体学在文章学研究中的重要地位。     

文体的复调与变奏--对米兰·昆德拉"复调小说"的一种解读

在米兰·昆德拉的"复调小说"观念体系中,"文体的复调"占据了重要的位置。他在理论上对"文体的复调"的标举以及创作上对不同文体杂糅的实践,既遵循了其自身艺术的内在逻辑,也映现了当代小说写作的一个潮流──跨体写作倾向,从中还可发现昆德拉这位自觉的文体革新者对小说历史渊源及未来走向的认识。昆德拉在"小说文体复调"方面的实践,有助于进一步认识当前文学创作中文体形式的嬗变特征。     

论文学符号的本质与功能性结构关系

符号的本质是在特定结构关系中承担着某种功能并产生着一定意义的媒介物。其最核心的概念是“系统”、“功能”和“意义”。文学符号与语言符号一样 ,也是“能指”和“所指”的统一。在文学符号的内部 ,又包含着各种代码 ,其中最重要的文学代码有“性格代码”、“背景代码”和“情感代码”三种。这就决定着文学符号又是一个具有着强烈的自主功能性、清晰的层次性和内在的编码性的有机运作过程。     

当代少数民族三诗人论

栗原小获、伊丹才让、南永前三位当代少数民族诗人诗作的外部风格的共同点是对本民族有着深厚的感情；诗作整体热烈，激情豪迈。又由于诗人的生存环境，所受本民族文化影响的差异等原因，诗作呈现的语言风格十分别异。三位诗人诗作文本的文化超越性是诗作抒情主体所袁现的人类之爱，是抒情主体在诗中所表现的超越民族、超越个体的文化关怀和文化命运感。     

Program Evaluation and Causal Inference With High‐Dimensional Data

In this paper, we provide efficient estimators and honest confidence bands for a variety of treatment effects including local average (LATE) and local quantile treatment effects (LQTE) in data‐rich environments. We can handle very many control variables, endogenous receipt of treatment, heterogeneous treatment effects, and function‐valued outcomes. Our framework covers the special case of exogenous receipt of treatment, either conditional on controls or unconditionally as in randomized control trials. In the latter case, our approach produces efficient estimators and honest bands for (functional) average treatment effects (ATE) and quantile treatment effects (QTE). To make informative inference possible, we assume that key reduced‐form predictive relationships are approximately sparse. This assumption allows the use of regularization and selection methods to estimate those relations, and we provide methods for post‐regularization and post‐selection inference that are uniformly valid (honest) across a wide range of models. We show that a key ingredient enabling honest inference is the use of orthogonal or doubly robust moment conditions in estimating certain reduced‐form functional parameters. We illustrate the use of the proposed methods with an application to estimating the effect of 401(k) eligibility and participation on accumulated assets. The results on program evaluation are obtained as a consequence of more general results on honest inference in a general moment‐condition framework, which arises from structural equation models in econometrics. Here, too, the crucial ingredient is the use of orthogonal moment conditions, which can be constructed from the initial moment conditions. We provide results on honest inference for (function‐valued) parameters within this general framework where any high‐quality, machine learning methods (e.g., boosted trees, deep neural networks, random forest, and their aggregated and hybrid versions) can be used to learn the nonparametric/high‐dimensional components of the model. These include a number of supporting auxiliary results that are of major independent interest: namely, we (1) prove uniform validity of a multiplier bootstrap, (2) offer a uniformly valid functional delta method, and (3) provide results for sparsity‐based estimation of regression functions for function‐valued outcomes.     

关于文化差异与翻译问题的思考

语言和文化的密不可分性 ,决定了文化因素在翻译中的重要地位。目前 ,对文化差异的翻译方法存在同化与异化之争。本文从“功能等值”的角度 ,探讨了这个问题。     

词的非常规功能义释义模式探析

词的功能义,是指因词性(或语法功能)不同而导致词的意义变化而形成的词义.研究词的功能义,重点是认识词在非常规功能下意义的变化.探讨词的非常规功能义的释义模式要注意区分逻辑语义模式与语言表达变式,以期在语文辞书中准确地、规范地说解词的非常规功能义.
