this study investigated the effect of sequencing tasks from simple to complex along +/- reasoning demands on fluency in writing task performance of english as foreign language (efl) learners. the participants of this study included 90 intermediate efl learners from three intact class divisions at the islamic azad uni- versity, shahr-e-qods branch. they were distributed in three groups: experime...

this study investigated the impact of sequencing tasks from simple to complex along +/- reasoning demands on the fluency of writing task performance among efl learners. the participants of the study were 90 inter- mediate efl learners from three classes at islamic azad university, shahr-e-qods branch in iran. they were distributed in three groups: experimental a, experimental b, and a control g...

This study investigated the effect of sequencing tasks from simple to complex along +/- reasoning demands on fluency in writing task performance of English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners. The participants of this study included 90 intermediate EFL learners from three intact class divisions at the Islamic Azad Uni- versity, Shahr-e-Qods Branch. They were distributed in three groups: Experime...

The framework and the basic results of Wille on triadic concept analysis, including his Basic Theorem of Triadic Concept Analysis, are here generalized to n-dimensional formal contexts. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000): Primary: 06A23; secondary: 62-07.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of task complexity on text easibility and coherence in narrative writing EFL learners. Data were collected from 41 Turkish learners during a course. Task operationalized at two levels as complex simple based resource-dispersing variables Robinson’s Triadic Componential Framework, +/- structure. Accordingly, colorful picture first illustrated boa...

We describe a new measure of Granger causality, componential Granger causality, and show how it can be applied to the identification of the directionality of influences between brain areas with functional neuroimaging data. Componential Granger causality measures the effect of y on x, but allows interaction effects between y and x to be measured. In addition, the terms in componential Granger c...

This article describes the role and functions of facial expressions in human-human and human-computer interactions from a psychological point of view. We introduce our theoretical framework, which is based on componential appraisal theory and describe the methodological and theoretical challenges to studying the role of facial expression in intra-individual and interindividual emotion regulatio...

The widely-used notion of triadic closure has been conceptualized and measured in a variety of ways, most famously the clustering coefficient. This paper proposes a measure of triadic closure in affiliation networks designed to control for the influence of bicliques. In order to avoid arbitrariness, the paper introduces a triadic framework for affiliation networks, within which a range of possi...

The central thesis of this paper is that Rasmussen framed his approach to Cognitive Systems Engineering from the perspective of a Triadic Semiotic Model. This frame became the context for integrating multiple intellectual threads including Control Theory, Information Theory, Ecological Psychology, and Gestalt Psychology into a coherent theoretical framework. The case is made that the triadic se...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of task sequencing, along +/- reasoning demands dimension, on writing task performance in terms of accuracy.  The study was motivated by Robinson’s Cognition Hypothesis (CH) as well as previous studies investigating the relationships between task complexity and second language production. The participants of the study were 90 intermediate students at t...
