This response addresses the following points raised in the commentaries: (a) complementary learning mechanisms, the distinction between explicit and implicit memory, and the neuroscience of “noticing”; (b) what must and what need not be noticed for learning; (c) when frequency fails to drive learning, which addresses factors such as failing to notice cues, perseveration, transfer from L1, devel...

Noticing that actuator limitations are ubiquitous in practical engineering systems, this article considers Nash equilibrium seeking for games systems where the control inputs bounded. More specifically, first-order integrator-type with bounded first considered and two saturated strategies designed to seek of game. Then, second-order further considered. In case, a centralized strategy is propose...

Extensive knowledge of collocations is a key factor that distinguishes learners from fluent native speakers. Such knowledge is difficult to acquire simply because there is so much of it. This paper describes a system that exploits the facilities offered by digital libraries to provide a rich collocation-learning environment. The design is based on three processes that have been identified as le...

Consideration is given to long-term staffing problem in highlevel telecommunication service systems in which rates of processes that govern their behaviour depend on time. We assume that except for arrivals of requests and their respective service there happen periodic breakdowns when system drops all active requests. The staffing objective is “immediate service of a given percentage of incomin...

Given the current necessity of retaining qualified nurses, a self-care program consisting of Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation classes, and Reiki healing sessions was designed for a university-based hospital. The effectiveness of these interventions was evaluated using self-care journals and analyzed using a Heideggerian phenomenological approach. Outcomes of the self-care classes described by nurses i...

Exposure to a linguistic stimulus during priming influences subsequent language processing (McDonough & Trofimovich 2009: 1). For instance, people tend to effectively process spoken words that they have previously encountered without noticing that they are doing so. Similarly, in an auditory repetition task, people are likely to repeat previously heard auditory input faster and more accurately ...
