Modern microprocessors schedule instructions dynamically in order to exploit instruction level parallelism. It is necessary to increase instruction window size for improving instruction scheduling capability. However, it is di cult to increase the size without any serious impact on processor performance, since the instruction window is one of the dominant deciding processor cycle time. The reas...

The effect of practice on the operative form of a rule was investigated by giving subjects an easy, perfectly predictive classification rule, followed by training in applying that rule to a set of practice items. On a subsequent transfer test, the accuracy and speed of classifying new items was strongly affected by similarity to previously seen items, suggesting that the effect of practice was ...

This review summarizes the available literature for both instruction and evaluation of the novice dental and dental hygiene preclinical student. Effective instruction for dental and dental hygiene instrumentation requires knowledge of motor skills theory and mechanisms of fine motor skills attainment. The novice learner requires small, explicit steps that clearly define production. Prior to any...

Implicit and explicit learning were originally distinguished in terms of accessibility to verbal report. We identify evidence for the proposal that the im-plicit/explicit contrast corresponds to a divide between connectionist and symbolic representations. We show that explicit learning shows marked improvement between 4 and 8 years of age. This nding contrasts against very early implicit learni...

Extant research has highlighted the essentiality of grammatical metaphor (GM) as a linguistic resource in academic writing. Drawing on Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), this study investigated relationship between explicit instruction nominalisation one type GM and ESL learners’ mastery key resource. Adopting true experimental design, involved 38 Filipino professionals Singapore who needed...
