Levels of Processing: Semantic Processing and the Recall of False Memory Word Count: 1087 Abstract Research was carried out to determine the effects of structural and semantic processing on a group of university students using a Levels of Processing experiment. It was hypothesised that when words are processed semantically‚ recall of a false memory is less likely to occur. 196 first year psychology students took part in the Levels of Processing experiment during their

Semantics In programming language theory‚ semantics is the field concerned with the rigorous mathematical study of the meaning of programming languages. It does so by evaluating the meaning of syntactically legal strings defined by a specific programming language‚ showing the computation involved. In such a case that the evaluation would be of syntactically illegal strings‚ the result would be non-computation. Semantics describes the processes a computer follows when executing a program in that

area of linguistics and became a significant concept in semantics. Later in the 1970s‚ Keenan introduced presupposition to the pragmatics to describe a relation between a speaker and the appropriateness of a sentence in a context (Levinson: 177). Hence‚ presupposition can be distinguished into two categories: semantic presupposition and pragmatic presupposition. This thesis is mainly centered on the exploration of presupposition in semantics from the perspectives of features and problems of presupposition

The triangle of meaning: 1- The thing: refers to the element outside the mind and outsidie the language. 2- The word: symbol which refers to the thing. 3- The meaning: it is a concept or reference .it is the image‚ attributes or abstract entity. The lines of relationship among the trio elements may take different directions: 1-thingmeaningword==we see a thing then we remember its
