Previously learned reward values can have a pronounced impact, behaviorally and neurophysiologically, on the allocation of selective attention. All else constant, stimuli previously associated with a high value gain stronger attentional prioritization than stimuli previously associated with a low value. The N2pc, an ERP component indicative of attentional target selection, has been shown to ref...

A visual information feedback mechanism for group decision making (GDM) problems with triangular fuzzy complementary preference relations (TFCPRs) is investigated. The concepts of similarity degree (SD) between two experts as well as the proximity degree (PD) between an expert and the rest of experts in the group are developed for TFCPRs. The consensus level (CL) is defined by combining SD and ...

This study investigates whether and how a platform’s provision of performance feedback to users about their prior content contributions can help to stimulate users’ subsequent contributions. We draw on social value orientation theory to hypothesize how different framings may impact users’ likelihood of producing additional content. We partnered with a major mobile crowdsourcing recipe platform ...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of learners’ gender on their preferences for corrective feedback. learners’ prefer- ences which were investigated included the necessity, frequency, timing, type, method, and delivering agent of error treatment. to this end, a questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 100 participants (50 males and 50 females) studying english (efl) at shi...

introduction: feedback is very important in education and can help quality in the training process and orient the trainees in clinical contexts. this study aimed to assess the residents’ points of view about feedback in clinical education at shiraz university of medical sciences. methods: the sample of this study included 170 medical residents attending medical workshops in shiraz university of...

Sequences of decisions where the consequences obtained at one stage may determine the choice alternative available at the next one are known as dynamic decisions. Since a long series of decisions need to be made, one important feature of this type of decision is the lack of immediate outcome feedback. How can decision makers learn in the absence of outcome feedback? In this paper, I report an e...

Real-time media streams that use RTP are, to some degree, resilient against packet losses. Receivers may use the base mechanisms of the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) to report packet reception statistics and thus allow a sender to adapt its transmission behavior in the mid-term. This is the sole means for feedback and feedback-based error repair (besides a few codecspecific mechan...

A visual consensus feedback mechanism for group decision making (GDM) problems with complementary linguistic preference relations is presented. Linguistic preferences are modelled using triangular fuzzy membership functions, and the concepts of similarity degree (SD) between two experts as well as the proximity degree (PD) between an expert and the rest of experts in the group are defined and u...

Conventional Non-Linear Feedback Shift Registers (NLFSRs) use the Fibonacci configuration in which the value of the first bit is updated according to some non-linear feedback function of previous values of other bits, and each remaining bit repeats the value of its previous bit. We show how to transform the feedback function of a Fibonacci NLFSR into several smaller feedback functions of indivi...

This chapter examines a values-based approach to teaching sustainable tourism management and the related student assessment and feedback mechanisms that reinforce it. The chapter considers and describes how this values-based approach is pedagogically activated by employing critical thinking, self-directed and experiential learning techniques. It draws upon a number of subjects taught by two Uni...
