There are differences in the way infants learn, perceive, and understand the environment as compared to adults (Bornstein, 1989; Nelson, 2000; Craik and Bialystok, 2006). While an adult has an established, clear perception of his environment, infants are still forming perceptions of the world (Hall et al., 1989; Holt, 1991; Zitelli and Davis, 2007). The mechanisms underlying these differences a...

Novel experience and learning new skills are known as modulators of brain function. Advances in non-invasive brain imaging have provided new insight into structural and functional reorganization associated with skill learning and expertise. Especially, significant imaging evidences come from the domains of sports and music. Data from in vivo imaging studies in sports and music have provided vit...

This paper examines how, over the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the appreciation of skill in surgery shifted in characteristic ways. Skill is a problematic category in surgery. Its evaluation is embedded into wider cultural expectations and evaluations, which changed over time. The paper examines the discussions about surgical skill in a variety of contexts: the highly...

Synchronized action is considered as a manifestation of shared skill. Most synchronized behaviors in humans and other animals are based on periodic repetition. Aperiodic synchronization of complex action is found in the experimental task of synchronous speaking, in which naive subjects read a common text in lock step. The demonstration of synchronized behavior without a periodic basis is presen...

Speaking is a skill that must be learned. Therefore, this speaking can stimulated through practice and direct experience. The rich-tourism method way of delivering material by inviting children directly to objects outside the classroom or in real environment so students observe experience them directly. This library research aims determine role field trip skills aged 4-5 years. results literatu...

This paper proposes an approach to discover the expertise of researchers using data mining with skill classification ontology. The skill classification ontology is an information model containing skills of doing research in the area of computer and information science. A methodology to build the ontology is presented. The expertise search system is developed, which uses the skill classification...

This paper explores the problem of computing text similarity utilizing natural language processing. Four parsers are evaluated on a large corpus of skill statements from a corporate expertise taxonomy. A similarity measure utilizing common semantic role features extracted from parse trees was found superior to an information-theoretic measure of similarity and comparable to human judgments of s...

A skill-based engineering approach promises to increase changeability and flexibility in modern industrial automation systems. Skills can be modelled as finite state machines then exposed by means of OPC UA enabling their orchestration. concept the I4.0 language suggests peer-to-peer collaboration between components rather than a hierarchical ”use monitor” pattern skills. This paper focuses on ...

Diagnosing heart conditions by auscultation is an important clinical skill commonly learnt by medical students. Clinical proficiency for this skill is in decline [1], and new teaching methods are needed. Successful discrimination of heartbeat sounds is believed to benefit mainly from acoustical training [2]. From recent studies of auditory training [3,4] we hypothesized that semantic representa...

Previous behavioral studies have suggested that morphological awareness is impaired in Chinese children with reading disability (RD), but how this is reflected in brain alterations is not known. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the current study compared morphological processing in a RD group (11-13 years old) to an age-matched typically developing (TD) group. Participants ma...
