One of the dividing lines between economics and psychology experiments is that economists favor abstract context while psychologists favor meaningful context. We investigate the effects of meaningful versus abstract context on cross-game learning in a signaling game experiment. With individual decision makers (1x1 games) meaningful context promotes positive cross-game learning in moving from a ...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) attempt to mimic human neural networks in order to perform tasks. In order to do this, tasks need to be represented in ways that the network understands. In ANNs these representations are often arbitrary, whereas in humans it seems that these representations are often meaningful. This article shows how using more meaningful representations in ANNs can be very b...

The paper demonstrates and evaluates the effectiveness of a blended learning approach to create a meaningful learning environment. We use the term blended learning approach in this paper to refer to the use of multiple or hybrid instructional methods that emphasize the role of learners as contributors to the learning process rather than recipients of learning. Contribution to learning is attain...

Students’ low motivation in learning English as a foreign language is an age-old problem for teachers. To overcome this teacher must design and present the process such way which minimize students’ fear anxiety. One of more interesting ways to teach use videos class. The study aims at developing instrument measure perception meaningfulness using video production. This developed facilitate measu...

This paper proposes a four-layered adaptive fuzzy command acquisition network (AFCAN) for adaptively acquiring fuzzy command via interactions with the user or environment. It can catch the intended information from a sentence (command) given in natural language with fuzzy predicates. The intended information includes a meaningful semantic action and the fuzzy linguistic information of that acti...
