“…As noted above, the Cognitive Salience Index for items generated in listing data (Sutrop 2001) combines two sources of information: the proportion of participants to whom a term occurs, and the stage at which it occurred to those participants, i.e. its priority in their lists.…”

“…These data were also analyzed using the Cognitive Salience Index (Sutrop 2001) taking into account two important aspects: term frequency and mean position (see above). The cognitive salience index was calculated to find the CSI rank of each color word in the lists of colors provided by the informants.…”

“…The cognitive salience index yields comparable results across studies since it does not depend on the length of the individual lists (Sutrop 2001: 267). Numerous researchers have used the Cognitive Salience Index as a successful means of establishing a reliable ranking of items (see, for example, Kuehnast et al 2014;Sandford 2015;Sutrop 2000, 2001, 2002: Uusküla & Sutrop 2007Uusküla 2007Uusküla , 2008.…”

This study presents results of two questionnaires posed to English speaking middle-school students to verify the level of color term entrenchment and color prototypes at the age of 12. The methods included color listing and informant introspection on a color prototype linguistic construction. Listing techniques have long been used to identify basic categories and prototypically relevant linguistic items. In this case Sutrop's Cognitive Salience Index (2001) served to reveal the facilitation of retrieval of concepts in long-term memory thus allowing us to evince the degree of entrenchment and salience of the given color term. Participant introspection in conjunction with conceptual salience analysis (Talmy 2000(Talmy , 2005 regarding prototypical items (Rosch 1975(Rosch , 1978(Rosch , 1983 was also employed to identify what items are actually associated prototypically with colors at this age. The results are compared to adult color listings and prototypes (for both English and Italian speakers). Divergence is significant both in regard to the Cognitive Salience Index and within group judgment of the color prototypes. Further details about the subordinate color term choices and the agreement on prototypes reveal the conventionalized linguistic color associations made by this specific group of north-west American middle-school students.

Increasing evidence has revealed that different fisheries have collapsed around the world. This is generally more evident in countries that can maintain long‐term research and fisheries monitoring. When monitoring data are not available, alternative approaches to assess fisheries trends can be used, such as the local ecological knowledge of fishers. To investigate decadal changes in fisheries the local ecological knowledge of small‐scale fishers' was evaluated at four sites in Brazil: Porto Seguro, Prado, Alcobaça, and Caravelas. A fisher–fish network weighted by interaction strength was built to indicate the most relevant resources among fishers. The results suggest the occurrence of the shifting baseline syndrome among generations of fishers regarding commercially important fishes such as groupers and snappers. Handline fishers indicated a decline in catch per unit effort over 5 decades. Fisher–fish networks from Caravelas showed greater stability with stronger interaction strength, while Porto Seguro and Alcobaça networks were more fragile, and Prado network showed intermediate characteristics. Overfishing has affected high trophic level species that act as module hubs across the majority of sites. The fisher–fish network approach can be applied in data limited cases, improving the assessments of fisheries' dynamics (in space and time) and declining species.
