Switching between spoken language-production tasks: the role of attentional inhibition and enhancement

ABSTRACTSince Pillsbury [1908. Attention. London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co], the issue of whether attention operates through inhibition or enhancement has been on the scientific agenda. We examined whether overcoming previous attentional inhibition or enhancement is the source of asymmetrical switch costs in spoken noun-phrase production and colour-word Stroop tasks. In Experiment 1, using bivalent stimuli, we found asymmetrical costs in response times for switching between long and short phrases and between Stroop colour naming and reading. However, in Experiment 2, using bivalent stimuli for the weaker tasks (long phrases, colour naming) and univalent stimuli for the stronger tasks (short phrases, word reading), we obtained an asymmetrical switch cost for phrase production, but a symmetrical cost for Stroop. The switch cost evidence was quantified using Bayesian statistical analyses. Our findings suggest that switching between phrase types involves inhibition, whereas switching between colour naming and reading involves enhancement. Thus, the attentional mechanism depends on the language-production task involved. The results challenge theories of task switching that assume only one attentional mechanism, inhibition or enhancement, rather than both mechanisms.

Rejoinder to Schiller’s “Choice”

The article by F. C. S. Schiller to which Russell wrote the following untitled draft rejoinder was “Choice”, published in The Hibbert Journal 7 (July 1909): 802–12. Schiller’s article was in reply to Russell’s “Determinism and Morals”, ibid. 7 (Oct. 1908): 113–21. This article was, or just possibly was yet to become, section iv of “The Elements of Ethics”, reprinted in Philosophical Essays (1910), again in Paper 19 of Collected Papers 6, and now as 34 in Papers 5. Schiller appended his piece to the third edition of his Riddles of the Sphinx (Swan Sonnenschein, 1910), pp. 451–62. Russell's draft rejoinder is not included in Papers 5 and is thus supplied here.

Rejoinder to Schiller’s “Choice”

The article by F. C. S. Schiller to which Russell wrote the following untitled draft rejoinder was “Choice”, published in The Hibbert Journal 7 (July 1909): 802–12. Schiller’s article was in reply to Russell’s “Determinism and Morals”, ibid. 7 (Oct. 1908): 113–21 (B&R C08.10). This article was, or just possibly was yet to become, section IV of “The Elements of Ethics”, reprinted in Philosophical Essays (1910) and again in Paper 19 of Papers 6. Section IV now reappears as 34 in Papers 5. Schiller appended his piece to the third edition of his Riddles of the Sphinx (Swan Sonnenschein, 1910), pp. 451–62. This book, unmarked, is in Russell’s library at McMaster. Russell drafted a rejoinder headed “Schiller Hibbert J. Apr. ’09”, with a premature issue date. The rejoinder did not appear in the Hibbert, although a reply by G. T. Sadler did (“Choice”, 8 [Oct. 1909]: 193–4). We do not know that Russell did not submit a rejoinder. He seems not to have altered the text of section IV in response to Schiller’s article. The text below follows the manuscript (ra1 220.011230). In 1967 I found this at Plas Penrhyn in Schiller’s Studies in Humanism (1907), which Russell had reviewed anonymously (B&R C07.02). Also in the book, which has many verbal marginalia and indeed a chapter (XVIII) on determinism, were four leaves of notes on the book. He and Schiller had several controversies in the Papers 5 period. Neither Schiller’s reply nor the draft rejoinder (and the notes and most marginalia) are used in Papers 5 to complete the story. Most of the quoted passages below, sometimes truncated or transformed, are in Schiller’s piece. E.g., Schiller complained that “logical implications” of the doctrine of determinism had not been fully explored (p. 455). Russell changed that to “moral implications”. He repeated his moral point in the “Determinism” chapter of Religion and Science (1935).—K.B.

Further Notes and Sources for <i>Gravity's Rainbow</i>

The pagination of Gravity's Rainbow used here is for the Viking Press and Picador editions. I am grateful to Steven Weisenburger for identifying Grimm's Teutonic Mythology as one of Pynchon's important sources (Pynchon Notes, 12 [1983J). Some of the notes which follow are intended to supplement his comments. Deutsche Mythologie was first published in 1835. Page references in the following pages are to James Steven Stallybrass's translation of the fourth edition, published in four volumes by W. Swan Sonnen-schein & Allen and George Bell & Sons (London) 1880-8.

The Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man, being an Explanation of the Religious Doctrines from the Eschatology of the Ancient Egyptians

THIS is a book well worth reading, difficult to describe, and impossible to criticise. The title would lead one to expect a scientific analysis and classification of ancient signs and symbols, as well as a digest of the religious doctrines from the eschatology of the ancient Egyptians. The author in his own discursive way deals with an abundance of materials for a truly scientific work, but the best that can be said of the scientific character of the book is that, with ordinary care in dovetailing the materials and exact references to sources, it would have been a useful work of reference.

(1) Darwinism and Human Life The South African Lectures for 1909 (2) Darwinism and the Humanities

(1) PROF. J. ARTHUR THOMSON is well known as one of the ablest and most judicious of recent critics of the Darwinian position. Fully appreciative of the extraordinary value of Darwin's contribution to evolutionary theory, he is yet ready to give an impartial hearing to all genuine investigators in the field of bionomics, whether their results appear to be1 favourable or adverse to the views advanced by Darwin. Like some other writers who strive to maintain; a candid and unbiassed attitude in the face of conflicting opinions, he is liable to the usual penalty of open-mindedness; the imputation, that is to say, of indecision—in homely phrase of “running with the hare and hunting with the hounds.”Such an imputation, if meant as a reproach, would be in Prof. Thomson's case undeserved; if intended as a tribute to his faculty for seeing both sides of a question, it would be justified.

(1) A Student's Text-book of Zoology (2) A Treatise on Zoology

THESE two ample volumes suggest that a comprehensive text-book on the whole animal kingdom can no more be written by a single zoologist. The advanced student needs an encyclopaedic work in which several naturalists with wide general and deep special knowledge have united their labours. The great “Treatise” which is slowly taking shape under the editorship of Sir Ray Lankester has been planned from the outset on these lines, and Dr. Caiman's volume is worthy of the best of its predecessors. Prof. Sedgwick now issues the third volume of his text-book, eleven years after the appearance of the first, and he tells us in his preface that, but for the help of his colleagues, Messrs. Lister and Shipley, this present volume would still be far from completion. (1) A Student's Text-book of Zoology. By Prof. Adam Sedgwick. Vol. iii.

An Episode of Flatland, or How a Plane Folk discovered the Third Dimension, to which is added An Outline of the History of Unaea

THESE plane people live on the edge of a disc which is their world. A third dimension exists only in their mathematies. Their astronomers find that a catastrophe will certainly happen. One cranky philosopher believes that there is a third dimension, and shows a scared people how their world may be tilted and the catastrophe averted. The author's characters, act and make love much like three-dimensional people, and they talk of a higher dimension just as Mr. Hinton would himself talk, of a fourth dimension. There never was an allegory, not even that of Bunyan, which was consistent with itself for one chapter, but Mr. Hinton's is more inconsistent with itself than any other allegory we have seen.
