    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). ...
  • 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 ...
  • Experience and insight under time pressure :|a study with race game 
    Yalınkılınç, Duygu. (Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2022., 2022.)
    In this paper, we experimentally study the effects of time constraints on learning efficient planning when subjects need to make sequential decisions. The subject is explored by utilizing a game theoretical tool called ...
  • Fake sex: diploidy, dominance, coupling, attraction 
    Bowers, Robert Ian. (Thesis (M.A.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Social Sciences, 2006., 2006.)
    What can be understood of a species when we know of it only that it is sexual? Two seemingly innocuous aspects of sex are considered. In Chapter Two, the matter is diploidy and allele dominance; in Chapter Three, it is the ...
