  • In search of language-based factors influencing rhythmic grouping 
    Kaya, Ece. (Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2019., 2019.)
    The Iambic-Trochaic Law (Hayes, 1995) was proposed as a universal mechanism governing rhythmic grouping. It predicts that sequences of sound events are grouped trochaically (strong-weak) when they alternate in intensity ...
  • Effects of working memory and language proficiency on second language predictive inference generation :|an eye-movement study 
    Sivridağ, Fatih. (Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2019., 2019.)
    In this study, the effects of language proficiency and working memory capacity on predictive inference generation during reading in a second language (L2) were investigated by analysing L2 readers’ early and late ...
  • Neural and cognitive underpinnings of trustworthiness in the prefrontal cortex via optical brain imaging 
    Bilik, Ali Taylan. (Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2019., 2019.)
    Human face has been considered to be an indicator of various attributes including attractiveness, calmness, and trustworthiness. Even a single look for a short duration might have an influence on one’s attitude. This ...
  • Inconsistency and multiplicity in the self

    This thesis consists of an empirical study and a philosophical discussion. The empirical part is based on the Multiple Self-Aspect Framework whose fundamental principle argues that the self-concept is not unitary and it ...
  • Psycho-cognitive effects of the expectancy of score-based feedback in an activity involving artistic emotional expression 
    Dağ, Özge. (Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2020., 2020.)
    Feedback-based control is being used extensively in modern technology with great success to make systems behave in a desired manner. Also for human performers, receiving feedback about their performances provides opportunity ...
  • Modeling the human mind as an information processor :|a Heideggerian critique

    Andaç, Safa. (Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2021., 2021.)
    Perceiving affordances, the action-possibilities of a system in an environment, is a survival key for the system (Gibson, 1966). Changing invariants for the system shapes its affordance perception (Warren & Whang, 1987). ...
  • MorphLaz :|a finite-state morphological analyzer for Laz

  • The effects of smooth pursuit eye movements and abutting pattern motion on luminance contrast sensitivity 
    Alaşhan, Didem. (Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2021., 2021.)
    Spatiotemporal context alters the visibility. The detectability of a low-contrast luminance-modulated sinusoidal target abutting a high-contrast drifting grating is impaired when the two stimuli are out-of-phase, suppression ...
