“…In other words, when an abstract concept is metaphorically understood in terms of a concrete concept, the ways that low-level sub-features are activated may be very different from one individual to another one. Cross-individual differences in understanding abstract concepts and the effect of age, culture, and some mental disorders on abstract concept processing have been discussed on some works (e.g., [49][50][51][52][53]). The role of very low-level sub-features may become more important in the understanding of abstract concepts.…”

This theoretical article looks at the process of understanding abstract concepts from the perspective of distributed models of conceptual representation. According to these models, meanings of concepts are essentially componential; that is, the meaning of any concept is represented by small units of meaning, which are called semantic features. Based on these models, this article suggests that scope of interpretation and range of associated semantic features are two key differences between abstract and concrete concepts. While abstract concepts are interpreted within wide scopes and in association with large sets of semantic features, concrete concepts are interpreted within narrower scopes and in association with relatively smaller sets of semantic features. Extending the discussion into the metaphoric understanding of abstract concepts in terms of concrete concepts, it is suggested that when an abstract concept is processed, the activation of low-level sub-features may take place in a variety of ways.

EFL learners' learning styles and their reading performance

Language learners struggle with achieving their highest reading competence, particularly when they sit standardized tests with authentic advanced passages. The related literature shows a significant gap in suggesting specific techniques or strategies for individuals to develop a reading competence. To fill this gap, this study investigated the potential relationship between EFL learners' reading performance and their learning styles. One hundred thirty-seven participants were administered the TOEFL PBT for their recruitment test, at which the reading scores were evaluated and analyzed. Ehrman and Leaver’s Questionnaire (2003) was used to classify participants’ learning styles in an ectenic-synoptic continuum. We used the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient to find any potential correlation between learners' performance and their scores as an ectenic or a synoptic learner. The results revealed a positive correlation between synoptic learners and success in the reading tasks. Consequently, a regression model provided the classification of successful learners at reading tests. Knowing that teachers have a variety of learners in their classes and their preferred learning styles can help course instructors to design activities that will exercise a range of cognitive processes and perspectives.
