Even when human point forecasts are less accurate than data-based algorithm predictions, they can still help boost performance by being used as inputs. Assuming one uses judgment indirectly in this manner, we propose changing the elicitation question from traditional direct forecast (DF) to what call private information adjustment (PIA): how much thinks should adjust its account for has that is...

one of the most problematic areas in foreign language learning is collocation. it is often seen as arbitrary and an overwhelming obstacle to the achievement of nativelike fluency. current second language (l2) instruction research has encouraged the use of collaborative output tasks in l2 classrooms. this study examined the effects of two types of output tasks (editing and cloze) on the learning...

The blink reflex is modulated if a weak lead stimulus precedes the blink-eliciting stimulus. In two experiments, we examined the effects of the sensory modality of the lead and blink-eliciting stimuli on blink modulation. Acoustic, visual, or tactile lead stimuli were followed by an acoustic (Experiment 1) or an electrotactile (Experiment 2) blink-eliciting stimulus at lead intervals of -30, 0,...

Unilateral infusion of MPTP into the monkey caudate nucleus produced deficits in task-specific saccades, in addition to the deficits in spontaneous eye movements (preceding article). We trained three monkeys to perform two kinds of saccade tasks: (1) saccade task for eliciting visually guided saccades and (2) delayed saccade task for eliciting memory-guided saccades. After the MPTP infusion, do...

The benefits of information sharing on a team’s performance have been well documented. Information sharing helps individual members in a team overcome their individual biases thereby leading to better decisions. Despite such perceived advantages, its still a challenge to get team members to share information with one another, especially the tacit part and even more so in the case of virtual tea...

Abstract. We design experiments to jointly elicit risk and time preferences for the adult Danish population. We find that joint elicitation results in estimates of discount rates that are dramatically lower than those found in previous studies. Estimation of latent time preferences requires that one specify a theoretical structure to understand risk and time choices, but we show that our main r...

This study sets out to examine learner-learner oral interaction during a task-based virtual exchange carried online using video-based SCMC among 32 English and Spanish foreign language learners from two different universities. The video-recordings of three tasks in which took part pairs were analyzed identify, transcribe, code related episodes. These divided into episodes entirely Spanish, or b...

When is a mechanism designer justified in only asking for ordinal information about preferences? Simple examples show that, even if the planner’s goal (expressed by a social choice correspondence, or SCC) depends only on ordinal information, eliciting cardinal information may help with incentives. However, if agents may be uncertain about their own cardinal preferences, then a strong robustness...
