It is very common that students fail their exam because of an excessive stress. However, an attitude with no stress at all can cause the same thing as stress can be beneficial in some learning cases. Studying the stress level variation can then be very useful in a learning environment. In this paper, the aim is predicting the stress level variation of the learner in relation to his electrical b...

The acquisition of new motor skills is dependent on task practice. In the case of motor transfer, learning can be facilitated by prior practice of a similar skill. Although a multitude of studies have investigated the brain regions contributing to skill acquisition, the neural bases associated with the savings seen at transfer have yet to be determined. In the current study, we used functional ...

The Learner Model of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) may be made visible (opened) to its users. An Open Learner Model (OLM) may also become a learning resource in its own right, independently of an ITS. OLMs offer potential for learner reflection and support to metacognitive skills such as self-assessment, in addition to improving learner model accuracy. This paper describes an evaluation ...

This paper describes WriteAhead, a resource-rich, Interactive Writing Environment that provides L2 learners with writing prompts, as well as ”get it right” advice, to helps them write fluently and accurately. The method involves automatically analyzing reference and learner corpora, extracting grammar patterns with example phrases, and computing dubious, overused patterns. At run-time, as the u...

An intracranial saccular aneurysm is uncommonly diagnosed in a patient with closed head trauma. We herein present a patient with delayed rebleeding of a cerebral aneurysm misdiagnosed as traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A 26-year-old female visited our emergency department because of headache after a motorcycle accident. Brain computed tomography (CT) showed a right-side dominant SAH in...

When teaching, people often intentionally intervene on a learner while it is acting. For instance, a dog owner might move the dog so it eats out of the right bowl, or a coach might intervene while a tennis player is practicing to teach a skill. How do people teach by intervention? And how do these strategies interact with learning mechanisms? Here, we examine one global and two local strategies...

Purpose: The primary aim of the study is to identify existence post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in an individual and detect dominance level each affected brain region PTSD using rs-fMRI data. This will assist psychiatrists neurologists distinguish impartially between individuals healthy controls for brain-based treatment PTSD. Methods: Twenty-eight (14 with PTSD, 14 controls) were assessed...

Constructivism is the dominant paradigm in educational psychology at present. According to this theory, learning is an active process of sense-making, which occurs in the mind of the learner as she or he attempts to construct a meaningful representation of new information (Phillips 1995). As a result, instruction aimed at transmitting (intact) a knowledge structure from the instructor to the st...
