"Visual capture" is the term used to describe vision being afforded a higher weighting than other sensory information. Visual capture can produce powerful illusory effects with individuals misjudging the size and position of their hands. The advent of laparoscopic surgical techniques raises the question of whether visual capture can interfere with an individual's rate of motor learning. We comp...

This paper presents the application of automatic analysis (of statistical and symbolic nature) for the detection and processing of metalanguage in highly technical texts from various domains. The selective metalinguistic information extraction performed by the MOP system allows compilation of non-conventional lexicons to aid domain-restricted NLP.

Naive program transformations can have surprising e ects due to the interaction between introduced identi er references and previously existing identi er bindings, or between introduced bindings and previously existing references. These interactions can result in the inadvertent binding, or capturing, of identi ers. A further complication results from the fact that the transformed program may h...

This study explored corrective feedback (CF) types and their relationship to L2 learners’ intelligence types. Participants were 60 intermediate L2 learners aged 18-29 in Isfahan, Iran. Based on their intelligence types as intrapersonal and interpersonal, the participants were divided into 2 groups. McKenzie’s MI Inventory (1999) and a researcher-designed questionnaire on CF types were employed....

We present a model for developing rule-based process servers with extensible syntax and semantics. New process enactment directives can be added to the syntax of the process modeling language, in which the process designer may specify specialized behavior for particular tasks or task segments. The process engine is peppered with callbacks to instance-specific code in order to implement any new ...
