Two experiments on oral reading of single words compared naming performance in pure blocks of nonwords or exception words with performance in blocks of randomly mixed nonwords and exception words. Ss named exception words faster and made fewer regularization errors when they were not also prepared for nonwords. These data suggest Ss inhibit or ignore the computation of assembled phonology when only exception words are expected. Ss named nonwords faster, but no more accurately, when low-frequency exception words were not also anticipated. Thus, Ss' readiness to execute assembled phonology appears to be adjusted in relation to the likely time course of retrieval of learned pronunciations, when the latter must be attended to. This evidence for strategic dissociation between sublexical and lexical translation is discussed in relation to current models.
Abstract— The pyroxenes in two new monomict eucrites from Antarctica, Yamato 791186 and Yamato 792510, have been studied and compared with those of other Antarctic and non‐Antarctic eucrites. The purpose of this study is to identify compositional and textural relationships shown by these pyroxenes which may be used as indicators of the thermal history of the meteorite. An attempt is made, using petrographic and compositional criteria, to distinguish between the initial cooling history and subsequent thermal events. We suggest that it is possible to identify stages of thermal “metamorphism” which may be used to indicate the conditions on the surface and crust of the parent body. A picture of the geological setting of the HED (Howardites, Eucrites, Diogenites) parent body is proposed, for which thermal metamorphism by impact heating is an important process.
The matrix of Vigarano, a meteorite which belongs to the reduced subgroup of the CV3 chondrites, contains small amounts (<10%) of ferrihydrite and smectite. These hydrous minerals occur together as fine fibrous intergrowths between anhydrous silicate and oxide grains. Coarser crystals of ferrihydrite fill fractures that cut matrix minerals, and smectite also lines narrow channels within olivine grains. These channels may have formed by preferential alteration of olivines along (100)‐parallel defects.
Formation of ferrihydrite and smectite in the matrix of Vigarano was the result of mild aqueous alteration in a low‐temperature (<150 °C), oxidising parent body environment. Partial equilibration of matrix olivines indicates that alteration was followed by thermal metamorphism with a peak temperature of 400–500 °C. Mineralogically similar alteration products, which also were formed by parent body processes, have previously been described from the matrices of four CV meteorites: Bali, Grosnaja, Kaba and Mokoia, all of which belong to the oxidised subgroup. This discovery of the products of oxidative aqueous alteration in Vigarano has important consequences for understanding the chemical and thermal history of the CV class of meteorites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
