Children's inference generation: The role of vocabulary and working memory
2015
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology
For local coherence inferences, only vocabulary predicted unique variance for the 6-and 8-year-olds; in contrast, none of the variables predicted performance for the 10-year-olds. ...
Mediation analysis confirmed that although working memory was associated with the ability to generate local and global coherence inferences in 6-to 10-year-olds, the effect was mediated by vocabulary. ...
For local coherence inferences, simple span predicted significant variance in local coherence inference making for the 6-year-olds (see Table 5 ). ...

What plausibly affects plausibility? Concept coherence and distributional word coherence as factors influencing plausibility judgments
2004
Memory & Cognition
We conclude that the processes involved in rating plausibility are based on evaluating concept coherence, not word coherence. ...
In the first, we manipulated concept coherence by using different inference types to link the sentences in a pair (e.g., causal or temporal). ...
Some parallels may be drawn between word and concept coherence as described in this article and the local and global context models of discourse comprehension. ...

A cognitive model of coherence-driven story comprehension

of coherence (e.g. local and global); and (3) inability to find interpretations at variable depths. ...
Variable inference processes are a reflection of different thresholds, and the skepticism of an individual inference process determines how thresholds are reached. ...
The inference processes described in these early models are still implemented in many contemporary systems. ...

Locally strong coherence and inference with lower-upper probabilities
2003
Soft Computing - A Fusion of Foundations, Methodologies and Applications
We introduce an operational way to reduce the spatial complexity in inference processes based on conditional lower-upper probabilities assessments. ...
To reach such goal we must suitably exploit zero probabilities taking account of logical conditions characterizing locally strong coherence. ...
If P G is strong coherent with respect to the event B ¼ V i: E i jH i 2R H c i , then P E is locally strong coherent on G. ...

Effects of coherence and relevance on shallow and deep text processing
2002
Journal of Educational Psychology
breaks in local and global coherence. ...
In Experiment 1, they found that breaks in local coherence had no effect on any outcome measures, whereas relevance enhanced deeper processing. ...
In contrast, reduced local coherence tends to enhance deeper processing, given that the reader possesses adequate background knowledge to generate inferences that bridge conceptual gaps in the text (Caillies ...

Self-Organized Complexity and Coherent Infomax from the Viewpoint of Jaynes's Probability Theory
2012
Information
Coherent Infomax, shows, in principle, how adaptively self-organized complexity can be preserved and improved by using probabilistic inference that is context-sensitive. ...
It is concluded that the theory of Coherent Infomax specifies a general objective for probabilistic inference, and that contextual interactions in neural systems perform functions required of the scientist ...
Acknowledgments Jim Kay formalized the Coherent Infomax theory. Christopher Fiorillo convinced me that Jaynes's probability theory has much to offer. ...

The coherence theory: simple attentional modulation effects

Neurocomputing
Our "Coherence Theory" as a new way of understanding neural processing offers the theoretical framework for our findings. ...
We present a novel method of achieving attentional modulation effects, based on the spatial coherence of the stimulus. ...
More, we believe that such inferred local coherence could play an important role in the modulation of attention in hyperacuity and preattentive visual search. ...

Time-dependent universal conductance fluctuations and coherence in AuPd and Ag
2005
Physical Review B
We report quantitative comparisons of coherence lengths inferred from weak localization magnetoresistance measurements and time-dependent universal conductance fluctuation data. ...
Strong agreement is observed in both quasi-2D and quasi-1D AuPd samples, a metal known to have high spin-orbit scattering. ...
This strongly supports the theoretical statement [23] that weak localization and UCF measurements probe precisely the same coherence physics, even in the presence of strong spin-orbit and magnetic impurity ...
