Kindergarteners and adults learn fraction-rules in a categorization task
Both children and adults can learn new categories when presented with a rule about a perceptual feature. Like categorization, numerical abstraction requires the ability to ignore irrelevant (non-numeric) perceptual features when making decisions about relevant (numeric) features. The present study fuses these two lines of research by training 5-7 year olds and adults in a categorization task, i...
متن کاملOlder adults can learn to learn new motor skills.
Many studies have demonstrated that aging is associated with declines in skill acquisition. In the current study, we tested whether older adults could acquire general, transferable knowledge about skill learning processes. Older adult participants learned five different motor tasks. Two older adult control groups performed the same number of trials, but learned only one task. The experimental g...
متن کاملThe Duet Code of the Female Black-bellied Wren
In many duet-singing songbirds, paired birds combine their song types nonrandomly to form duet songs. Several different behavioral mechanisms could generate nonrandom song type associations in duets. I tested female Black-bellied Wrens (Thryothorus fasciatoventris) for one such mechanism: adherence to a set of rules linking female response songs to male stimulus songs. I call this set of rules ...
متن کاملWhite Matter Structure Changes as Adults Learn a Second Language
Traditional models hold that the plastic reorganization of brain structures occurs mainly during childhood and adolescence, leaving adults with limited means to learn new knowledge and skills. Research within the last decade has begun to overturn this belief, documenting changes in the brain's gray and white matter as healthy adults learn simple motor and cognitive skills [Lövdén, M., Bodammer,...
متن کاملUsing Diagnosis to Learn Contextual Coordination Rules
Knowing when and how to communicate and coordinate with other agents in a multi-agent system is an important efficiency and reliability question. Contextual rules governing this communication must be provided to the agent, or generated at runtime through environmental analysis. In this paper we describe how the T/EMS task modeling language is used to encode such contextual coordination rules, a...
