Four categorized lists were presented for a single study and test trial. Form of retention test (recognition, cued recall, or free recall) for Lists 1-3 was factorially combined with that of List 4. Learning to learn was evident only for cued recall and improvement in that condition was primarily due to an increase in the number of items per category recalled. Effects in Test 4 performance prov...

A method is presented for segmenting documents into conceptually related areas. Determining the equivalence of text is often based on the number of word repetitions. This approach is unsuitable for detecting short segments because terms tend not to be repeated across just a few sentences. In this paper we investigate the contribution of two other lexical features to find related words: collocat...

Three experiments investigated serial position effects in immediate and final free recall. Each word in a 10-item list was both preceded and followed by a 15-sec period of distraction activity. In Experiment 1, half of the lists were immediately followed by either a recall test or a recognition test; the remaining lists were not tested, but were followed by a different distraction activity. Aft...

background and aim: the double dichotic digit test (ddt) is a simple test for assessing and screening auditory processing system. the purpose of this study was to develope a double ddt, in persian language and find its basic norm values in girls aged 7 to 11 years. methods: the persian version of double ddt is composed of 3 different 25 numerical lists. numbers in each list were recorded dichot...

We used MetaMap and YTEX as a basis for the construction of two separate systems to participate in the 2013 ShARe/CLEF eHealth Task 1[9], the recognition of clinical concepts. No modifications were directly made to these systems, but output concepts were filtered using stop concepts, stop concept text and UMLS semantic type. Concept boundaries were also adjusted using a small collection of rule...

This paper presents a first experience with evaluating sytems that address the issue of Logic Form Identification (LFi). A Gold Standard approach was used in which experts provide solutions to test data. The expert solutions, the gold standard, are then compared against outputs from participanting systems and different metrics observed. We proposed a few novel metrics, including precision and r...

this article aimed to study the development of memory in transition from preoperational to the operational stage in 120 children in the age range of 4 to 8. in order to test the cognitive level (intelligence), the conservation test of seriation was applied. children were asked to draw from memory what they had done during seriation test. the test was administred at different intervals: one hour...
