We examined whether participants instructed to reenter a hypnotic state as part of the post-hypnotic suggestion (PHS) show less decay in responding over an 8-week period than participants who do not receive such instructions. We also attempted to replicate Trussell, Kurtz, and Strube's (1996) finding on impact of difficulty level of suggestion on response curve. Fifty-nine highly susceptible pa...

Nowadays, huge sheet music collections exist on the Web, allowing people to access public domain scores for free. However, beginners may be lost in finding a score appropriate to their instrument level, and should often rely on themselves to start out on the chosen piece. In this instrumental e-Learning context, we propose a Score Analyzer prototype in order to automatically extract the difficu...

The exponential growth of students participating in cybersecurity competition and challenge programs has been used as support for claims that the numbers of students interested in pursuing cybersecurity careers are also increasing. However, one recent study documented a decline in novice participants over the course of three cybersecurity competitions. This paper presents an argument for suppor...

Subjects were required to track a target consisting of two vertical bars moving with either a constant or a sinusoidally modulated speed across an oscilloscope screen with a joystick-controlled light-spot. Either target size (distance between bars-size guided tasks) or velocity of the target movement (velocity guided tasks), varied throughout different tasks determined by subject's performance....

Language is lateralised to the left hemisphere in most people, but it is unclear whether the same degree and direction of lateralisation is found for all verbal tasks and whether laterality is affected by task difficulty. We used functional transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (fTCD) to assess the lateralisation of language processing in 27 young adults using three tasks: word generation (WG), ...

Automatic assessment of reading ability builds on applying speech recognition tools to oral reading, measuring words correct per minute. This work looks at more fine-grained analysis that accounts for effects of prosodic context using a large corpus of read speech from a literacy study. Experiments show that lower-level readers tend to produce relatively more lengthening on words that are not l...
