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.

Abstract Digital games are rich learning environments that require players to engage with challenging situations in order to progress. Recent research indicates that gameplay involves overcoming breakdowns and achieving breakthroughs in relation to player action, understanding and involvement. In particular, breakthroughs involve moments of insight where learning occurs which, in turn, can help increase involvement. However, little is known about how players actually achieve breakthroughs. We applied the breakdown/breakthrough "lens" to explore how players attempt to achieve breakthroughs in relation to two single player games. We identified a finite number of strategies that illustrate how players learn in games. These strategies are considered in relation to producing playable and engaging games.
