The immediacy and directness of our visual experience belies the complexity of the underlying neural mechanisms, which remain incompletely understood. Recent neuroimaging studies suggest that activity in ventral visual cortex is necessary but not sufficient for visual awareness. Experiments in both patients and normal subjects indicate that parietal and frontal areas make an important contribut...

We survey basic garbage collection algorithms and variations such as incremental and generational collec tion we then discuss low level implementation consid erations and the relationships between storage man agement systems languages and compilers Through out we attempt to present a uni ed view based on abstract traversal strategies addressing issues of con servatism opportunism and immediacy ...

The purpose of this mixed method embedded design study was to examine the effect a treatment package consisting video and reflection, feedback, coaching on pre-service teachers’ use nonverbal immediacy behaviors as they delivered lessons student avatars in reality simulations. Pre-service teachers at three points time over course semester within teacher preparation course. Following each simula...

Szeroko opisane przez Daniela Everetta plemię Pirahã pozwala na odniesienie kierującej zachowaniem jego członków zasady bezpośredniości doświadczenia do szerszego kontekstu epistemologicznego. W artykule poza przedstawieniem samej uzasadniono, dlaczego stanowi ona ostatecznie podstawę każdej epistemologii – choć w różnym stopniu wpływa późniejsze rozwiązania epistemologiczne. Sformułowano równi...

Till date, English as a Second Language (ESL) educators involved in teaching language and communication to engineering students face an uphill task in developing graduate communicative competency. This challenge is accentuated by the apparent lack of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) materials for engineering students in the engineering curriculum. As such, most ESL educators are forced to pl...

This thesis presents NL-Soar, a detailed computational model of human sentence comprehension that accounts for a broad range of psycholinguistic phenomena. NL-Soar provides in-depth accounts of structural ambiguity resolution, garden path effects, unproblematic ambiguities, parsing breakdown on difficult embeddings, acceptable embeddings, immediacy of interpretation, and the time course of comp...
