In this computerized study, research participants completed both Marks' (1973) Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire and Kunzendorf's (1979) Vividness of Auditory Imagery Questionnaire and, immediately thereafter, completed either a visuo-spatial rule-development exercise or an audio-temporal rule-development exercise. During the visuo-spatial exercise, participants were administered 20 four-alternative quizzes regarding the schematic rules of 3-point perspective (3PP) and, between quizzes, were instructed to figure out the rules by constructing visual images that serve to test their developing schema. During the audio-temporal exercise, participants were administered 24 two-alternative quizzes regarding artificial grammatical rules and, between quizzes, were instructed to figure out the rules by generating auditory images that serve to test their developing grammar. Across 83 participants in the visuo-spatial rule-development exercise, greater development of 3PP rules correlated significantly with greater vividness of visual imagery, but not auditory imagery. Conversely, across 94 participants in the audio-temporal rule-development exercise, greater development of grammatical rules correlated significantly with greater vividness of auditory imagery, but not visual imagery. In the historical context of null correlations between image vividness and problem-solving success, the current correlational findings provide modality-specific support for Kunzendorf and Reynold's (2004-2005) and Kunzendorf and Buker's (2008-2009) thesis that the vivid imager's construction of sensory images from imageless rules facilitates the testing and refinement of newly hypothesized rules, but does not facilitate the application of previously developed rules to new problems.
Resumo-Recentemente, a exploração de pares trançados utilizados como guia de ondas, como alternativa ao modo de linhas de transmissão, tem ganhado destaque, principalmente com o objetivo de suprir as altas demandas de dados. Um dos desafios para esta implementação é o acoplamento dos modos guiados no par trançado, nesse contexto, este artigo visa investigar o acoplamento de sinais nessas estruturas utilizando antenas com propagação radial. Os resultados foram obtidos por meio de simulações numéricas, em termos do parâmetro de espalhamento da antena e da intensidade de campo elétrico no par, demonstrando uma eficiência do acoplamento de 27,12% em 0,3 THz.

Abstract-Recently, the exploitation of twisted pairs used as waveguide, as an alternative to the transmission lines mode, has gained prominence, mainly in order to reach the high demands of data. One of the challenges for this implementation is the coupling of the guided modes in the twisted pair, in this context, this paper aims to investigate the coupling of signals in these structures using antennas with radial propagation. The results were obtained by numerical simulations, in terms of the antenna scattering parameter and the electric field strength in the pair, demonstrating a coupling efficiency of 27.12% in 0,3 THz.
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.
