Research on the effect of implicit and explicit instruction on developing learners’ explicit knowledge by the use of measures of explicit knowledge abounds in the literature. However, measuring learners’ implicit knowledge employing fine-grained measures has rarely been the concern of researchers in the field. Therefore, the present study is an attempt to scrutinize the effectiveness of implici...

this research aimed to examine the effect of sequential stimuli technique on acquisition, retention and transfer of ocular motor sequence. first sequential stimuli, time record, response error software was designed. 60 right-handed novices (15-18 years) were divided into five groups (blocked – explicit, blocked – implicit, random – explicit, random-implicit and control). all groups performed a ...

the aim of this study was to compare the performance of analogy (implicit),explicit and discovery learning in the retention and transfer of a topspin shot underpsychological pressure. for this purpose, 36 volunteer high school students wererandomly allocated to three treatment conditions: explicit, analogy, and discoverylearning. after performing 300 trials in the acquisition phase, an immediat...

Abstract Task-based language teaching has received increased attention in second language research. However, the combination of structured input-based approach and task-based language teaching has not been examined in relation to L2 grammar learning. To address this gap, the present study investigated how the structured input-based tasks with and without explicit information impacted learners’ ...

Design is a complex and ill-structured activity, which makes difficult the creation of efficient computational design systems. One way to enhance design systems capabilities is using machine learning techniques. In this paper we analyze machine learning in design from three different perspectives. We first use the process/product viewpoint, inferring some important aspects. The other perspectiv...

although explicit and implicit knowledge of language learners are essential to theoretical and pedagogical debates in second language acquisition (sla), little research has addressed the effects of instructional interventions on the two knowledge types (r. ellis, 2005).this study examined the relative effectiveness of explicit and implicit types of form-focused instruction (ffi) on the acquisit...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of handedness and two practice types (explicit vs. implicit) on motor sequence learning. 60 girls (age range of 14 – 17 years old) were randomly assigned to four groups according to their handedness: right–handed-explicit, right–handed–implicit, left–handed-explicit, and left–handed-implicit. participants’ task was accuracy and time of sequential...
