    Although statistical learning (SL) has been studied extensively in developmental dyslexia (DD), less attention has been paid to other fundamental challenges in language acquisition, such as cross-situational word learning. Such investigation is important for determining whether and how SL processes are affected in DD at the word level. In this study, typically developed (TD) adults and young adults with DD were exposed to a set of trials that contained multiple spoken words and multiple pictures…Read more

    No research explored intellectual capital about green innovation or environmental management. This study wanted to fill this research gap, and proposed a novel construct - green intellectual capital - to explore the positive relationship between green intellectual capital and competitive advantages of firms. The empirical results of this study showed that the three types of green intellectual capital - green human capital, green structural capital, and green relational capital - had positive eff…Read more

    The Driver of Green Innovation and Green Image – Green Core Competence
    Journal of Business Ethics 81 (3): 531-543. 2008.
    This study proposed a novel construct – green core competence – to explore its positive effects on green innovation and green images of firms. The results showed that green core competences of firms were positively correlated to their green innovation performance and green images. In addition, this research also verified two types of green innovation performance had partial mediation effects between green core competences and green images of firms. Therefore, investment in the development of gre…Read more

    Ethical Decisions About Sharing Music Files in the P2P Environment
    with Rong-An Shang and Pin-Cheng Chen
    Journal of Business Ethics 80 (2): 349-365. 2008.
    Digitized information and network have made an enormous impact on the music and movie industries. Internet piracy is popular and has greatly threatened the companies in these industries. This study tests Hunt-Vitell’s ethical decision model and attempts to understand why and how people share unauthorized music files with others in the peer-to-peer (P2P) network. The norm of anti-piracy, the ideology of free software, the norm of reciprocity, and the ideology of consumer rights are proposed as fo…Read more

    Recent laboratory experiments have shown that both infant and adult learners can acquire word‐referent mappings using cross‐situational statistics. The vast majority of the work on this topic has used unfamiliar objects presented on neutral backgrounds as the visual contexts for word learning. However, these laboratory contexts are much different than the real‐world contexts in which learning occurs. Thus, the feasibility of generalizing cross‐situational learning beyond the laboratory is in que…Read more

    Actively Learning Object Names Across Ambiguous Situations
    with George Kachergis and Richard M. Shiffrin
    Topics in Cognitive Science 5 (1): 200-213. 2013.
    Previous research shows that people can use the co-occurrence of words and objects in ambiguous situations (i.e., containing multiple words and objects) to learn word meanings during a brief passive training period (Yu & Smith, 2007). However, learners in the world are not completely passive but can affect how their environment is structured by moving their heads, eyes, and even objects. These actions can indicate attention to a language teacher, who may then be more likely to name the attended …Read more

    Cooperative gazing behaviors in human multi-robot interaction
    with Tian Xu and Hui Zhang
    Interaction Studies. Social Behaviour and Communication in Biological and Artificial Systemsinteraction Studies / Social Behaviour and Communication in Biological and Artificial Systemsinteraction Studies 14 (3): 390-418. 2013.
    When humans are addressing multiple robots with informative speech acts, their cognitive resources are shared between all the participating robot agents. For each moment, the user’s behavior is not only determined by the actions of the robot that they are directly gazing at, but also shaped by the behaviors from all the other robots in the shared environment. We define cooperative behavior as the action performed by the robots that are not capturing the user’s direct attention. In this paper, we…Read more

    Tracking Multiple Statistics: Simultaneous Learning of Object Names and Categories in English and Mandarin Speakers
    with Chi-Hsin Chen, Lisa Gershkoff-Stowe, Chih-Yi Wu, and Hintat Cheung
    Cognitive Science 41 (6): 1485-1509. 2017.
    Two experiments were conducted to examine adult learners' ability to extract multiple statistics in simultaneously presented visual and auditory input. Experiment 1 used a cross‐situational learning paradigm to test whether English speakers were able to use co‐occurrences to learn word‐to‐object mappings and concurrently form object categories based on the commonalities across training stimuli. Experiment 2 replicated the first experiment and further examined whether speakers of Mandarin, a lang…Read more

    Multiple Sensory‐Motor Pathways Lead to Coordinated Visual Attention
    with Linda B. Smith
    Cognitive Science 41 (S1): 5-31. 2017.
    Joint attention has been extensively studied in the developmental literature because of overwhelming evidence that the ability to socially coordinate visual attention to an object is essential to healthy developmental outcomes, including language learning. The goal of this study was to understand the complex system of sensory-motor behaviors that may underlie the establishment of joint attention between parents and toddlers. In an experimental task, parents and toddlers played together with mult…Read more

    Characterizing Human Expertise Using Computational Metrics of Feature Diagnosticity in a Pattern Matching Task
    with Thomas Busey, Dimitar Nikolov, Brandi Emerick, and John Vanderkolk
    Cognitive Science 41 (7): 1716-1759. 2017.
    Forensic evidence often involves an evaluation of whether two impressions were made by the same source, such as whether a fingerprint from a crime scene has detail in agreement with an impression taken from a suspect. Human experts currently outperform computer-based comparison systems, but the strength of the evidence exemplified by the observed detail in agreement must be evaluated against the possibility that some other individual may have created the crime scene impression. Therefore, the st…Read more

    Competitive Processes in Cross‐Situational Word Learning
    with Daniel Yurovsky and Linda B. Smith
    Cognitive Science 37 (5): 891-921. 2013.
    Cross-situational word learning, like any statistical learning problem, involves tracking the regularities in the environment. However, the information that learners pick up from these regularities is dependent on their learning mechanism. This article investigates the role of one type of mechanism in statistical word learning: competition. Competitive mechanisms would allow learners to find the signal in noisy input and would help to explain the speed with which learners succeed in statistical …Read more

    Temporal Sequences Quantify the Contributions of Individual Fixations in Complex Perceptual Matching Tasks
    with Thomas Busey, Dean Wyatte, and John Vanderkolk
    Cognitive Science 37 (4): 731-756. 2013.
    Perceptual tasks such as object matching, mammogram interpretation, mental rotation, and satellite imagery change detection often require the assignment of correspondences to fuse information across views. We apply techniques developed for machine translation to the gaze data recorded from a complex perceptual matching task modeled after fingerprint examinations. The gaze data provide temporal sequences that the machine translation algorithm uses to estimate the subjects' assumptions of correspo…Read more
