One of the most pressing questions in cognitive science remains unanswered: what cognitive mechanisms enable children to learn any of the world’s 7000 or so languages? Much discovery has been made with regard to specific learning mechanisms in specific languages, however, given the remarkable diversity of language structures (Evans and Levinson, 2009; Bickel, 2014) the burning question remains:...

approaches, working in groups or work ing alone, and other expressions of learning style. Ability, or achievement-level, grouping is the least refined approach to individualization, since members of a group usually are taught as though they are alike. Instruction making use of the project approach, independent study, peer tutoring, or programmed instruction offers greater attention to the indiv...

Compile-time reordering of machine-level instructions has been very successful at achieving large increases in performance of programs on machines ooer-ing ne-grained parallelism. However, because of the interdependences between instruction scheduling and register allocation, it is not clear which of these two phases of the compiler should run rst to generate the most eecient nal code. In this ...
