Learning is considered as one of the essential tool to empower a community. Over the past three decades, technology mediated learning has been recognized as an alternate channel strengthening the traditional forms of education. However, the organizational learning at the peripheries and capacity development at the grass roots remain almost unattended, despite recognized global efforts under man...

PURPOSE Motor skills can be learned in an explicit or an implicit manner. Explicit learning places high demands on working memory capacity, but engagement of working memory is largely circumvented when skills are learned implicitly. We propose that individuals with impaired movement dynamics may benefit from implicit learning methods when acquiring sports-related motor skills. METHOD We discu...

The relationship between working memory and deliberative processing was examined in a human contingency learning experiment that employed the combined positive and negative patterning procedure of Shanks and Darby (1998). Participants with a large working memory capacity showed generalization consistent with the application of an opposites rule (i.e., a compound and its elements signal opposite...

Although the original Hopfield Associative Memory (HAM) causes poor storage capacity and robustness, most of the conventional learning algorithms focus on only improvement in storage capacity or learning speed, and the robustness is hardly considered. We have already proposed a novel learning algorithm based on a maximal margin perspective, which is employed in learning of support vector machin...

The learning capacity and the classification ability for normal beats and premature ventricular contractions clustering by four classification methods were compared: neural networks (NN), K-th nearest neighbour rule (Knn), discriminant analysis (DA) and fuzzy logic (FL). Twenty-six morphology feature parameters, which include information of amplitude, area, specific interval durations and measu...

This study proffers a micro-level conceptualization to absorptive capacity, by investigating individual’s capacity to learn from asymmetric engineering project team. Thus, the model proposes prior experience, learning orientation and need for cognition, as antecedents to abilities to recognize the value of and assimilate competent partner’s embedded knowledge. Results of the structural equation...

BACKGROUND With the recognition of the need for research capacity strengthening for advancing health and development, this research capacity article explores the use of technology enhanced learning in the delivery of a collaborative postgraduate blended Master's degree in Malawi. Two research questions are addressed: (i) Can technology enhanced learning be used to develop health research capaci...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Relational knowledge Service firms Quality of service Banking Knowledge, like other resources, can quickly become obsolete. Thus, actors in an economy must constantly update their knowledge to keep pace with ongoing changes in their operational environment. This study explores unlearning's influence on two forms of learning (i.e., exploration and exploitation of ...
