multiple intelligences (mi), second/foreign (l2) proficiency and gender are postulated to contribute to language learning strategies (lls). this study, first, examined whether there was any relationship between iranian efl learners’ lls, on the one hand, and their mi, l2 proficiency, on the other hand. in so doing, it explored the relationship of the overall l2 strategy as well as individual st...

Purpose: Individuals’ personal awareness and learning after spinal cord injury is one of the most important factors in patients’ confrontation with subsequent disabilities and new life style which affects their ultimate independence. This article is an abstracted result of a qualitative study on effective factors of independence among patients with spinal cord injury. Methods: This study a...

Given appropriate training, human observers typically demonstrate clear improvements in performance on perceptual tasks. However, the benefits of training frequently fail to generalize other tasks, even those that appear similar trained task. A great deal research has focused task characteristics influence extent which learning generalizes. less is known about what might predict considerable in...

We study coordination in dynamic global games with private learning. Players choose whether and when to invest irreversibly in a project whose success depends on its quality and the timing of investment. Players gradually learn about project quality. We identify conditions on temporal incentives under which, in sufficiently long games, players coordinate on investing whenever doing so is not do...

This ebook represents the scientific contribution of over 30 individuals working in laboratories in 5 countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States), unified by the study of associative learning and individual differences. Individual differences have a central place in the study of psychology both historically and in the present day. It was frustrating then th...

Social agents, both human and computational, inhabiting a world containing multiple active agents, need to coordinate their activities. This is because agents share resources, and without proper coordination or “rules of the road”, everybody will be interfering with the plans of others. As such, we need coordination schemes that allow agents to effectively achieve local goals without adversely ...

In this paper, we explore how incentives and information structures influence emergent collective accuracy. In our model, individuals of bounded ability predict outcomes that depend on the values of a set of attributes. Each individual constructs a predictive model that considers only a subset of those attributes. We compare environments in which individuals learn in isolation to environments w...
