Reform of the treaty body system and debates over the creation of a unified standing treaty body N2 - Diskussionen über die Reform der UN-Mechanismen zum Schutz der Menschenrechte sind keineswegs neu. Seit Veröffentlichung des dritten Reformberichts von UN-Generalsekretär Kofi Annan “In Larger Freedom” im März 2005 haben sich jedoch die Voraussetzungen für eine tiefer gehende Reform der Menschenrechtsgremien verbessert. Zum ersten Mal haben UN-Mitgliedstaaten den politischen Willen manifestiert, das System grundlegend und nicht wie früher nur kosmetisch zu verändern. Das zeigt sich zum einen in dem Bestreben, die seit langem als hoffnungslos politisiert diskreditierte Menschenrechtskommission durch einen effizienteren Menschenrechtsrat mit weitergehenden Kompetenzen und innovativen Arbeitsmethoden zu ersetzen. Zum anderen sind Diskussionen im Gange, um das System der Expertenausschüsse, die die innerstaatliche Umsetzung der wichtigsten UNO Menschenrechtskonventionen überwachen sollen, effizienter zu gestalten und gegebenenfalls durch ein einziges, permanent tagendes Expertengremium zu ersetzen. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick der Verhandlungen und versucht, ein vorsichtiges Fazit der ersten beiden Sitzungen des Menschenrechtsrates zu ziehen. Obwohl die meisten Arbeitsmethoden des Rates erst noch ausgehandelt werden müssen, so läßt sich doch bereits erkennen, daß die Politisierung, die die frühere Menschenrechtskommission charakterisierte, leider auch die Arbeit des Rates prägen wird. Das verheißt nicht unbedingt Gutes für die Zukunft. Was eine Reform der Expertenausschüsse betrifft, so stehen Diskussionen noch in der Anfangsphase, und ein permanent tagender Expertenausschuß ist in absehbarer Zukunft nicht zu erwarten.

A1 - Vasishth, Shravan A1 - Kliegl, Reinhold T1 - Parallel processing and sentence comprehension difficulty N2 - Eye fixation durations during normal reading correlate with processing difficulty but the specific cognitive mechanisms reflected in these measures are not well understood. This study finds support in German readers’ eyefixations for two distinct difficulty metrics: surprisal, which reflects the change in probabilities across syntactic analyses as new words are integrated, and retrieval, which quantifies comprehension difficulty in terms of working memory constraints. We examine the predictions of both metrics using a family of dependency parsers indexed by an upper limit on the number of candidate syntactic analyses they retain at successive words. Surprisal models all fixation measures and regression probability. By contrast, retrieval does not model any measure in serial processing. As more candidate analyses are considered in parallel at each word, retrieval can account for the same measures as surprisal. This pattern suggests an important role for ranked parallelism in theories of sentence comprehension.

The results are evidence for a remarkable internationalization of psychological research, starting in the mid 1970s and increasing in rate at the beginning of the 1990s. This growth occurs against a constant number of articles with authors from the same country; it is not due to a concomitant increase in the number of co-authors per article. Thus, international collaboration in psychology is obviously on the rise.

The intermediate word N+1 was always three letters long. Gaze durations on word N+2 were significantly shorter for identical than nonword N+2 preview both for young and for old adults with no significant difference in this preview benefit. Young adults, however, did modulate their gaze duration on word N more strongly than old adults in response to the difficulty of the parafoveal word N+1. Taken together, the results suggest a dissociation of preview benefit and parafoveal-on-foveal effect. Results are discussed in terms of age-related decline in resilience towards distributed processing while simultaneously preserving the ability to integrate parafoveal information into foveal processing. As such, the present results relate to proposals of regulatory compensation strategies older adults use to secure an overall reading speed very similar to that of young adults.
