mislocation Explanation: Fehllokation ist ein Begriff, den man u.a. in der Alzheimer-Forschung findet "Erwartung und Suche Hoffmann & Klein (1988) ließen Versuchspersonen auf Bildern feststellen, ob sich dort ein bestimmtes Objekt befindet (z.B. Toaster). Dabei gab es kongruente Umgebungen (Toaster in einer Küche auf dem Küchentisch) inkongruente Umgebungen (Toaster vor dem Bahnhof auf einem Briefkasten) und kongruente Umgebungen mit Fehllokation (Toaster in einer Küche unter dem Spülbecken). Es zeigte sich, das ein Objekt am leichtesten in der kongruenten Umwelt, also am erwarteten Ort, und am schwersten in kongruenter Umwelt mit **Fehllokation**, einer unerwarteten Stelle, entdeckt wird. Die Aufmerksamkeit auf bestimmte Ort, wird hier durch das Objekt bestimmt, nach dem gesucht wird." www.simonplace.de/study/download/SkriptJoe_JAO_ss2001.pdf http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/111/5/1... |

out of place Explanation: This is an example where I find it very difficult to think of a word without seeing the whole paragraph around the chosen sentence. But one interpretation is that the authors of the article wanted to demonstrate something (Wissensthemen) and now claim that their results in these two dimensions do indeed demonstrate these _without any being out of place_ (all of the results were where they expected them to be). Seems a complicated way of saying it, but when you use these words day in and day out anyway, perhaps it is that simple. Otherwise we really need to know a lot more about the topic and whether these 'Wissensthemen' can have a wrong 'locus' in this context. |
