Are children better witnesses than adolescents? Developmental trends in different false memory paradigms

Abstract

The current study compared older children’s (11/12-year-olds) and adolescents’ (14/15-year-olds) vulnerability to false memory creation using two different methods (i.e., the Deese/Roediger-McDermott [DRM] and memory conformity paradigms) involving neutral and negative stimuli. In line with previous research, a developmental reversal effect was found for the DRM paradigm, which means that when employing this method children displayed lower false memory levels than adolescents. However, when using the memory conformity paradigm, the opposite pattern was found, with adolescents forming fewer false memories than children. This indicates that in a co-witness context, adolescents are less prone to memory errors than children. The emotional valence of the stimuli used in both paradigms did not notably affect the production of false memories. There was no statistically significant correlation between false memories as measured by the DRM and the memory conformity paradigms. Altogether, the current study indicates that there is no single type of false memory as different experimental paradigms evoke different types of erroneous recollections. Additionally, our study corroborates past findings in the literature concerning the issue of developmental reversal, strengthening the idea that under certain circumstances children might indeed be better witnesses than adolescents.

俄语动词前缀的语义聚合研究

在俄语中动词的地位举足轻重,新的语言研究往往都与动词有着紧密的联系。俄语动词前缀是一种语义复杂的多义性词素,可以纳入多种语义聚合关系之中。针对俄语动词前缀典型的语义特点,可以尝试在语义场的理论框架内,从宏观的角度划分和研究动词前缀的各种语义场,即一组组具有一定共同语义特征的前缀所组成的聚合体。

大学教学评价范式的困境与现实问题思考

大学教学的评价范式主要包括实证主义的评价方式与人文化的评价方式.在教学评价过程中,评价标准的可测性与模糊性、教学质量的认定和评价的复杂性等因素使两种方式的选择面临着矛盾和困境.从我国高校教学评价存在的现实问题来看,总体趋向表现出实证化突出,同时其在定量分析方法上也显示出科学性不强.评价范式的关键在于实证与人文的整合.     

语境与诠释:论中国教育学的研究范式

范式在中国教育学界的理论旅行,生成了三种不同的语境.本文基于文本阐释学的"过度诠释"概念,指出了解读教育研究范式的合法性理路,分析了库恩意义上的范式和胡森意义上的范式之间的联系与区别,从而揭示出教育研究范式的理论内涵.笔者指出,在我国当前的教育研究语境下,库恩意义上的范式转换是不存在的,而胡森意义上的范式转换则是可能的 ,这有助于"教育研究范式"的意义理解和研究深化.     

人类命运共同体的价值底蕴､文化范式与历史逻辑

推动构建人类命运共同体是新时代坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的基本方略之一,是对全球治理理念和模式的一种革新,是对人类社会发展理念的全新探索。党的十九大提出要“倡导构建人类命运共同体,促进全球治理体系变革”,这既是为全球治理贡献中国智慧与中国方案,也有利于构建具有中国特色的国际话语传播体系,有助于推动建立公正合理的国际新秩序。人类命运共同体的提出致力于全人类参与的共建、共享、共赢的价值导向,以包容互鉴的态度尊重不同文化之间的多样性与差异性,是对人类命运的历史思考,也是对当前全球化深入发展的现实回应。人类命运共同体思想承载着对人类命运的历史思辨,体现了人类对美好生活的向往与追求,成为推动人类文明进步与发展的价值引领。     

网络思想政治教育研究的“空间范式”

思想政治教育学科在理论研究中已经形成了多种范式。从现实社会空间向虚拟网络空间的“空间转向”,为思想政治教育新范式的形成提供了崭新的空间条件。网络思想政治教育的快速发展也为其“空间范式”的提出进行了必要的知识积累。“空间范式”凸显马克思主义公共性理论和社会空间理论的理论特性,旨在透过“空间”的维度,发展网络思想政治教育的理论和方法体系。“空间范式”的提出对于进一步凸显网络思想政治教育研究的学术旨趣,凝聚学科共识,培育知识信念,整合学术资源,建构更加专业的话语体系,形成一个影响广泛的网络思想政治教育学术共同体具有重要意义。     

Raymond Williams and sociology

The purpose of this article is to recover Williams as a major theoretical inspiration for the social sciences, specifically, as the inaugurator of what might be regarded as a research paradigm, cultural materialism. In the first section, Williams's encounter with the discipline of sociology is traced and distinguished as a critical alternative to the presently ascendant – at least in the USA – neo‐Durkeimian school of ‘cultural sociology’. In the second section, his cultural‐materialist programme is proposed as a powerful analytical framework for the study of culture and society today. In the final section, a key concept of Williams's cultural materialism, mobile privatization, is selected illustratively and proposed as a powerful analytical tool for studying the production and technological mediation of typical modes of communicative sociality in the early twenty‐first century.     

‘America’ in Indian Advertising: Change and Impact

The aims of this article are threefold: One, to focus on the advertising and marketing communications situating the presence of the USA in India. Two, to address three issues concerning the where, how, and impact dimensions of marking the US presence in Indian advertising. In that process an attempt will be made to integrate three aspects of advertising, namely: marketing, media, and linguistics. Three, to account for US corporate culture as it manifests itself in advertising. Central to our discussion are two product types: consumer products (e.g. Coke, Pepsi, Kellogg’s cereals, or Cadbury’s chocolates) and socially-sensitive, or ‘taboo’, products (e.g. condoms, alcohol, and breath fresheners).
