Background: One factor that has consistently been shown to enhance learning in typical participants is self-controlled practice. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to examine whether the learning benefits of self-controlled feedback found previously in non-disabled adults would also be found in adults with Down syndrome. Methods: Participants with Down syndrome practiced a linear ...

normative feedback is a kind of feedback which involves information about an individual's performance in comparison with other peers unrealistically (positive or negative). the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of normative feedback on throwing aiming task learning in children aged between 9 and 11 in ahvaz city. for this purpose, 90 right-handed children were selected w...

A particular characteristic of the neonatal hippocampus is the presence of spontaneous network-driven oscillatory events, the so-called giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs). GDPs depend on the interplay between GABA and glutamate. Early in development, GABA, acting on GABAA receptors, depolarizes neuronal membranes via a Cl- efflux. Glutamate, via AMPA receptors, generates a positive feedback n...

Through this article we intent to demonstrate how a qualification and certification program, like CertiBPM, developed and implemented with the support of European Certification and Qualification Association (ECQA), can be use to better support the SPI efforts and strategies into Romanian companies. The research results show only the preliminary opinions (collected through the trainees/employees...

This article describes 1) the special features and accessibility of an innovative webbased practice instrument (WebMA) designed with randomized short-answer, matching and multiple choice items incorporated with automatically adapted feedback for middle school students; and 2) an exploratory study that compares the effects and contributions of web-based practice on students’ learning processes w...

feedback is one of the most important variables that affects the performance of motor learning and the way of implementing skills and has an important role in motor control and motor skill acquisition. this study aimed at evaluating the acquisition and retention of new skills in children with autism in augmented feedbacks with various frequencies. study method was semi-experimental and study de...

This paper presents a survey of language teachers’ and their students’ attitudes and practice concerning the use of corrective feedback in pronunciation training. The aim of the study is to identify feedback strategies that can be used successfully in a computer assisted pronunciation training system with a virtual tutor giving articulatory instructions and feedback. The study was carried out u...
