Examining the proactive and retroactive placement of augmented information for learning a novel computer alphabet.

Learning a new human-computer alphabet: the role of similarity and practice.

Two purposes motivated this study: (a) to quantify the difficulty in learning various symbols of the alphabet used to enter data into a personal digital assistant (PDA), and (b) to investigate the interaction of item difficulty with practice conditions that promote varying levels of cognitive effort. Levels of compatibility between members of the PDA alphabet and English were quantified through...

Effects of Proactive and Retroactive Augmented Informtaion on Physiological Responses in Learning a Novel Motor Skill

Don't forget to bind: Memory binding and interference in development

This work investigates the development and causes of memory interference effects. Specifically, we measured proactive and retroactive interference effects in children and adults when learning multiple sets of contingencies, as well as individuals’ memory binding for the same contingencies. We measured proactive interference by examining memory for a second set of contingencies after learning a ...

Intrusion Detection based on a Novel Hybrid Learning Approach

Information security and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) plays a critical role in the Internet. IDS is an essential tool for detecting different kinds of attacks in a network and maintaining data integrity, confidentiality and system availability against possible threats. In this paper, a hybrid approach towards achieving high performance is proposed. In fact, the important goal of this paper ...

Proactive and retroactive transfer of middle age adults in a sequential motor learning task.

We assessed the effects of aging in the transfer of motor learning in a sequential manual assembly task that is representative for real working conditions. On two different days, young (18-30 years) and middle-aged adults (50-65 years) practiced to build two products that consisted of the same six components but which had to be assembled in a partly different order. Assembly accuracy and moveme...
