Sekuler, P. Tynan, and E. Levinson (1973) found that when 2 characters are presented side-by-side with a short onset asynchrony, subjectively, they often appear in a "first-left, then-right" order. The authors of this article conducted 6 experiments in which observers judged the temporal order (TOJs) in which 2 digits were presented. They found a consistent TOJ benefit (larger d') when the numerically smaller digit was presented first, even though this semantic information was irrelevant to the task and unrelated to the correct response. They concluded that digits located to the left of the mental number line are transmitted faster to a central comparison stage, which represents an "internal counterpart" to the Sekuler et al. (1973) finding regarding external locations. A corresponding benefit is found for letters pairs (e.g., A-Z) and also for mixed digit-letter pairs (e.g., I-Z).}, language = {en} } @article{Schwarz2007, author = {Schwarz, Anne}, title = {The particles l{\´e} and l{\´a} in the grammar of Konkomba}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-19449}, year = {2007}, abstract = {The paper investigates focus marking devices in the scarcely documented North-Ghanaian Gur language Konkomba.

Based on new empirical evidence from five Gur and Kwa languages, we claim that these focus expressions have to be analysed as biclausal constructions even though they do not represent clefts containing restrictive relative clauses. First, we relativize the partly overgeneralized assumptions about structural correspondences between the out-of-focus part and relative clauses, and second, we show that our data do in fact support the hypothesis of a clause coordinating pattern as present in clause sequences in narration. It is argued that we deal with a non-accidental, systematic feature and that grammaticalization may conceal such basic narrative structures.}, language = {en} } @article{SchwarzEiselt2012, author = {Schwarz, Wolfgang and Eiselt, Anne-Kathrin}, title = {Numerical distance effects in visual search}, series = {Attention, perception, \& psychophysics : AP\&P ; a journal of the Psychonomic Society, Inc.}, volume = {74}, journal = {Attention, perception, \& psychophysics : AP\&P ; a journal of the Psychonomic Society, Inc.}, number = {6}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {1943-3921}, doi = {10.3758/s13414-012-0342-8}, pages = {1098 -- 1103}, year = {2012}, abstract = {We present three experiments in which observers searched for a target digit among distractor digits in displays in which the mean numerical target-distractor distance was varied. Search speed and accuracy increased with numerical distance in both target-present and target-absent trials (Exp. 1A). In Experiment 1B, the target 5 was replaced with the letter S. The results suggest that the findings of Experiment 1A do not simply reflect the fact that digits that were numerically closer to the target coincidentally also shared more physical features with it. In Experiment 2, the numerical distance effect increased with set size in both target-present and target-absent trials. These findings are consistent with the view that increasing numerical target-distractor distance affords faster nontarget rejection and target identification times. Recent neurobiological findings (e.g., Nieder, 2011) on the neuronal coding of numerosity have reported a width of tuning curves of numerosity-selective neurons that suggests graded, distance-dependent coactivation of the representations of adjacent numbers, which in visual search would make it harder to reject numerically closer distractors as nontargets.}, language = {en} } @misc{KannSchwarzDethloffetal.2021, author = {Kann, Oliver and Schwarz, Michael and Dethloff, Andreas and Mende, Volker and Thiele, Andrea and Meumann, Markus and Rous, Anne-Simone}, title = {Milit{\"a}r und Gesellschaft in der Fr{\"u}hen Neuzeit = Themenheft: Milit{\"a}risches Wissen vom 16. bis zum 19.
