Our research focuses particularly on the intermediate stage of skill acquisition in which the primary instructional aim is to gain understanding and to close knowledge gaps. One very successful instructional approach which tries to optimize cognitive skill acquisition is the use of Cognitive Tutors (e.g., Koedinger, Anderson, Hadley, & Mark, 1997). These computer-based tutors provide individualized support for learning by doing by selecting appropriate problems tobe-solved, by providing feedback and problem-solving hints, and by on-line assessment of the student’s learning progress. Although problem solving supported by Cognitive Tutors has been shown to be successful in fostering initial acquisition of cognitive skills, this approach does not seem to be optimal with respect to focusing the learner on the

Conventional Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) extract kinetic energy from the wind by simultaneously accelerating the turbine blades and decelerating the wind. According to Belz’s Law, conventional WECS are limited to the maximum theoretical Coefficient of Power (Cp) of 0.593. Kinetic energy

Learning and recalling personal events located in space and time engage the episodic memory (Tulving, 1987). On the other hand, different spatial representations are used to grasp the environment, depending on the action to be done (Mellet et al., 2000). A link between the efficiency of episodic memory and the spatial representations is then proposed (Burgess, 2002; Nadel & Moscovitch, 1998). Among the spatial representations, we propose that self-centred navigational processing (Berthoz, 1997; Ekstrom et al., 2003; Whishaw, McKenna, & Maaswinkel, 1997) could constrain recollection from the episodic memory. This last one differs from egocentric processing which suppose an active updating of the information due to the permanent subjects ’ changes in localisation or orientation, and is thus inadequate for episodic memory (Burgess, Becker, King, & O'Keefe, 2001). The relationship between spatial and mainly allocentric spatial representation on one hand and episodic memory on the other hand (“the cognitive map theory”), is mainly due to the involvement of the hippocampus in both abilities (Nadel & O'Keefe, 1978; Nyberg et al., 2000; O'Keefe & Dostrovsky, 1971). Recent assumptions concerning the episodic memory as a state of awareness (Wheeler, Stuss, & Tulving, 1997), as well as the significant findings on visual imagery (Crawley & French, 2005) and spatial memory and navigation (Etienne & Jeffery,

Cognitive tasks are those undertakings that require a person to mentally process new information (i.e., acquire and organize knowledge / learn) and allow them to recall, retrieve that information from memory and to use that information at a later time in the same or similar situations (i.e., transfer).

Most research on language in California has focused on everyday use, with considerably less attention given to ideologies and representations. Here, I look at the metapragmatic deployment of California linguistic features by members of a global audience. Crucially, the California media gives global reach to its own representations of self—instantiated here in the form of a cult-classic white male SoCal slacker film—which are then picked up by two African reality show contestants who enact their own ad-libbed performances of the film's two lead characters. But the features that the contestants draw on in their performance reach beyond the repertoire provided by the film, revealing a broader system of Hollywood-mediated ideologies linking linguistic features with California-associated styles.
