The dynamics of free recall in the list-before-last task were examined in the current study. List-length was manipulated and probability of recall was influenced by target list-length but not by intervening list-length. Participants also performed free recall on control lists matched on target list-length. Critically, list-before-last recall was worse than recall on the control list, suggesting...

In this paper, we review the literature on efficient task scheduling on multi-core system. The number of cores on one chip are increasing very rapidly. For achieving high performance without more power consumption and without heating up the system, multi-core processing technology is used. In addition for fully utilization of system resources in more efficient way task scheduler are developed, ...

objectives: the present study aimsed to examine the reliability of forceplate parameters under both single and dual task conditions and in different levels of postural difficulty. methods & materials: the healthy elderly+65, were assessed with aone-week interval, with a random combination of three levels of postural difficulty (i.e., standing on a rigid surface with eyes open, standing on a rig...

This paper describes a novel compile-time list-based task scheduling algorithm for distributed-memory systems, called Fast Load Balancing (FLB). Compared to other typical list scheduling heuristics, FLB drastically reduces scheduling time complexity to O(V (log (W ) + log (P )) + E), where V and E are the number of tasks and edges in the task graph, respectively, W is the task graph width and P...

This study investigated the effect of performance-based versus competence-based assessment criteria on task performance and self-assessment skills among 39 novice secondary vocational education students in the domain of nursing and care. In a performance-based assessment group students are provided with a preset list of performance-based assessment criteria, describing what students should do, ...

The open set recognition task, most challenging among the biometric tasks, operates under the assumption that not all the probes have mates in the gallery. It requires the availability of a reject option. For face recognition open set corresponds to the watch list face surveillance task, where the face recognition engine must detect or reject the probe. The above challenges are addressed succes...

The Dual Mechanisms of Control framework posits the existence of two distinct control mechanisms, proactive and reactive, which may operate independently. However, this independence has been difficult to study with most experimental paradigms. The Stroop task may provide a useful way of assessing the independence of control mechanisms because the task elicits two types of proportion congruency ...

This document presents the coordination and the evaluation procedures for the Spoken Dialogue System Task in EVALITA 2009. Three institutions participated into the competition, University of Trento, University of Naples and Loquendo. EVALITA participants were asked to develop a SDS application operating in the sales force domain, they were provided with a preliminary list of scenarios indicatin...

A memory is unstable, making it susceptible to interference and disruption, after its acquisition [1-4]. The function or possible benefit of a memory being unstable at its acquisition is not well understood. Potentially, instability may be critical for the communication between recently acquired memories, which would allow learning in one task to be transferred to the other subsequent task [1, ...

Two experiments examined whether repetition priming effects on a word completion task are influenced by new associations between unrelated word pairs that were established during a single study trial. On the word completion task, subjects were presented with the initial three letters of the response words from the study list pairs and they completed these fragments with the first words that cam...
