  2. Embodied language processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embodied_language_processing

    ERP was particularly beneficial in helping the researchers to investigate the bi-directional hypothesis of action-sentence comprehension, which proposes that language processing facilitates movement and movement also facilitates language comprehension. In the study participants listened to sentences describing an action that involved an open ...

  3. Textual entailment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textual_entailment

    In the TE framework, the entailing and entailed texts are termed text (t) and hypothesis (h), respectively.Textual entailment is not the same as pure logical entailment – it has a more relaxed definition: "t entails h" (t ⇒ h) if, typically, a human reading t would infer that h is most likely true. [1]

  4. Bi-directional hypothesis of language and action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-directional_hypothesis...

    The bi-directional hypothesis of language and action proposes that the sensorimotor and language comprehension areas of the brain exert reciprocal influence over one another. [1] This hypothesis argues that areas of the brain involved in movement and sensation, as well as movement itself, influence cognitive processes such as language ...

  5. Hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis

    The hypothesis of Andreas Cellarius, showing the planetary motions in eccentric and epicyclical orbits. A hypothesis (pl.: hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. A scientific hypothesis must be based on observations and make a testable and reproducible prediction about reality, in a process beginning with an educated guess or ...

  6. Language and thought - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_and_thought

    There is a strong and a weak version of the hypothesis which argue for more or less influence of language on thought. The strong version, linguistic determinism , argues that without language there is and can be no thought (a largely discredited idea), while the weak version, linguistic relativity , supports the idea that there are some ...

  7. Statistical hypothesis test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_hypothesis_test

    Statistical hypothesis testing is a key technique of both frequentist inference and Bayesian inference, although the two types of inference have notable differences. Statistical hypothesis tests define a procedure that controls (fixes) the probability of incorrectly deciding that a default position (null hypothesis) is incorrect. The procedure ...

  8. Foundations of statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_statistics

    Hypothesis testing remains a subject of controversy for some users, but the most widely accepted alternative method, confidence intervals, is based on the same mathematical principles. Due to the historical development of testing, there is no single authoritative source that fully encompasses the hybrid theory as it is commonly practiced in ...

  9. Research question - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_question

    The answer to a research question will help address a research problem or question. [5] Specifying a research question, "the central issue to be resolved by a formal dissertation, thesis, or research project," [6] is typically one of the first steps an investigator takes when undertaking research.
