Meta-strategic Knowledge (MSK) is a sub-component of metacognition that is defined in the present study as general, explicit knowledge about thinking strategies. In the present study we shall focus on the control of variables thinking strategy. Following an earlier study (Zohar & Peled 2007) that showed considerable effects of explicit instruction of MSK in laboratory setting, this study explor...

This study attempted to systematically inspect the impact of direct and indirect corrective feedbacks on the writing ability of EFL learners when using product/process based instructions. To do so, 110 female EFL learners, between the ages of 15 and 18, were randomly assigned into four experimental groups to receive four different kinds of treatments, namely product-based instruction with direc...

Visuomotor adaptation has been thought to be an implicit process that results when a sensory-prediction error signal is used to update a forward model. A striking feature of human competence is the ability to receive verbal instructions and employ strategies to solve tasks; such explicit processes could be used during visuomotor adaptation. Here, we used a novel task design that allowed us to o...

The distinction between implicit and explicit retrieval of learned material is central to recent thinking about the neural systems underlying memory. Word stem completion is one task in which subjects can be instructed either to make a deliberate recall (explicit instruction) or to be told to complete the stem with any appropriate word (implicit instruction). Positron emission tomography (PET) ...

jurisprudence has been originated from the qur‘ān and ḥadīth and the narrational or ma’thūr jurisprudence has been the first jurisprudential style after the rise of islam, to such an extent that in the latter periods the expansion of this jurisprudence was intermingled with rational inferences and some issues that enjoyed more widespread aspects were accepted as rules. the rule of prohibition o...

Abstract This study contributes to the explicit implicit debate by investigating which extent adult learners of Hungarian develop knowledge new grammar rules, and proficiency use them, through listening activities complemented with instruction or not. In a quasi-experimental study, we compared acquisition three specific rules 80 Flemish students in two conditions. Both methods involved activiti...

In this paper, a new class of a weighted quadrature rule is represented as --------------------------------------------  where  is a weight function,  are interpolation nodes,  are the corresponding weight coefficients and denotes the error term. The general form of interpolation nodes are considered as   that  and we obtain the explicit expressions of the coefficients  using the q-...

Previous studies have suggested that individuals use both implicit and explicit, as well as rule and exemplar-based knowledge, to make grammaticality judgments in artificial grammar learning (AGL) tasks. Experiment 1 explored the importance of explicit mechanisms in the learning of exemplar and rule-based information by using a dual-task during AGL training. We utilized a balanced chunk strengt...

Comprehensive reading instruction for students with intellectual disabilities: Findings from the first three years of a longitudinal study. This longitudinal experimental study showed that students with intellectual disabilities can learn to read given consistent, explicit, and comprehensive reading instruction over an extended period of time. This article presented strategies for providing stu...

In higher education students are often faced with information problems: tasks or assignments that require them to identify information needs, locate corresponding information sources, extract and organize relevant information from each source, and synthesize information from a variety of sources. Explicit and intensive instruction is necessary, because solving information problems is a complex ...
