Rehearsal as a control process

Oculomotor preparation as a rehearsal mechanism in spatial working memory

There is little consensus regarding the specific processes responsible for encoding, maintenance, and retrieval of information in visuo-spatial working memory (VSWM). One influential theory is that VSWM may involve activation of the eye-movement (oculomotor) system. In this study we experimentally prevented healthy participants from planning or executing saccadic eye-movements during the encodi...

Camphor as a promising insecticude for control

Choreography Rehearsal

We propose a methodology for statically predicting the possible interaction patterns of services within a given choreography. We focus on choreographies exploiting the event notification paradigm to manage service interactions. Control Flow Analysis techniques statically approximate which events can be delivered to match the choreography constraints and how the multicast groups can be optimised...

Instructed Forgetting: Rehearsal Control or Retrieval Inhibition (Repression)?l

In a Brown-Peterson short-term memory task three different incentive conditions (remember and rehearse, remember without rehearsing, or forget) were cued by varying the color background of a trigram slide. A selfpaced interpolated task was used so that differences in covert rehearsal could be inferred from backward counting rates under the various motivational conditions. It was concluded that ...

Monte Carlo Simulation as Process Control Aid

Field emission from carbon nanotubes (CNT) for display purposes was optimized using Design of Experiments (DOE). The brightness was improved by three orders of magnitude but the achieved gains could not be sustained in the “Control” phase of a DMAIC project and the process reverted to poor performance. It took an intense effort of circa two months to recover the process. Monte Carlo simulations...
