The representations that are formed as we view real environments are still not well characterized. We studied the influence of task instructions on memory performance and fixation allocation in a real-world setting, in which participants were free to move around. Object memories were found to be task sensitive, as was the allocation of foveal vision. However, changes in the number of fixations ...

Introduction Information literacy (IL) continues to be a major area of focus for academic librarians. Even as forces of change in the form of severe budget reductions, loss of positions, shifts in collection management, and changing technologies, have hit libraries hard in the early 21st century, their commitment to providing high quality IL instruction remains strong. An examination of recent ...

despite the extensive deployment of multi-core architectures in the past few years, the design and optimization of each single processing core is still a fresh field in computing .on the other hand, having a design procedure (used to solve the problems related to the design of a single processing core )makes it possible to apply the proposed solutions to specific-purpose processing cores .the i...

We recently introduced a two-component model of the mechanisms underlying age differences in memory functioning across the lifespan. According to this model, memory performance is based on associative and strategic components. The associative component is relatively mature by middle childhood, whereas the strategic component shows a maturational lag and continues to develop until young adulthoo...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of 2 concept map (cm) learning strategies on iranian efl learners’ reading comprehension ability and learner autonomy. to this end, 60 iranian efl learners at the preintermediate level of language proficiency were randomly assigned to 2 groups. both groups received an 8-week instruction: one through teacher-constructed and the other throug...

In learning models of strategic game play, an agent constructs a valuation (action value) over possible future choices as a function of past actions and rewards. Choices are then stochastic functions of these action values. Our goal is to uncover a neural signal that correlates with the action value posited by behavioral learning models. We measured activity from neurons in the superior collicu...

Information Technology (IT) is strategic for organization management, although many companies lack IT governance and planning, skilled people, defined and institutionalized methods and procedures, internal controls and indicators, as well as agreements service levels and information security, legality, and economy. In this scenario, one needs a minimum of organization and control in the use of ...

The purpose of this intervention study was to examine the use of a metacognitive strategy--the Comprehension, Check, and Repair Strategy--on strategic reading behavior, nonstrategic reading behavior, and reading comprehension of students who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH). A multiple baseline design was used across 3 teacher-student dyads. Frequency data were collected on students' strategi...

indubitably, the efficacy of metalinguistic awareness in improving efl learners’ grammatical knowledge and writing quality has long been an area of great interest in applied linguistics brown (2001). accordingly, the main objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of planned and unplanned focus on form instruction on students’ ability to learn grammar and use it appropriately ...
