The phonological loop as a language learning device

by Alan Baddeley, Susan Gathercole, Cpstanza Papagno - Psychological Review , 1998
"... A relatively simple model of the phonological loop (A. D. Baddeley, 1986), a component of working memory, has proved capable of accommodating a great deal of experimental evidence from normal adult participants, children, and neuropsychological patients. Until recently, however, the role of this sub ..."

of this subsystem in everyday cognitive activities was unclear. In this article the authors review studies of word learning by normal adults and children, neuropsychological patients, and special developmental populations, which provide evidence that the phonological loop plays a crucial role in learning the novel

Cognitive load during problem solving: effects on learning

by John Sweller - COGNITIVE SCIENCE , 1988
"... Considerable evidence indicates that domain specific knowledge in the form of schemes is the primary factor distinguishing experts from novices in problem-solving skill. Evidence that conventional problem-solving activity is not effective in schema acquisition is also accumulating. It is suggested t ..."

that a major reason for the ineffectiveness of problem solving as a learning device, is that the cognitive processes required by the two activities overlap insufficiently, and that conventional problem solving in the form of means-ends analysis requires a relatively large amount of cognitive processing

The Cricket Location-Support System

by Nissanka B. Priyantha, Anit Chakraborty, Hari Balakrishnan , 2000
"... This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of Cricket, a location-support system for in-building, mobile, locationdependent applications. It allows applications running on mobile and static nodes to learn their physical location by using listeners that hear and analyze informatio ..."

information from beacons spread throughout the building. Cricket is the result of several design goals, including user privacy, decentralized administration, network heterogeneity, and low cost. Rather than explicitly tracking user location, Cricket helps devices learn where they are and lets them decide whom

PAT-Trees with the Deletion Function as the Learning Device

by unknown authors
"... In this study, a learning device based on the PAT-tree data structures was developed. The original PAT-trees were enhanced with the deletion function to emulate human learning competence. The learning process worked as follows. The linguistic patterns from the text corpus are inserted into the PAT-t ..."

Teacher Candidates ’ Views of Digital Games as Learning Devices

by Nancy B. Sardone
"... The objective of this research study was to explore teacher candidate views toward digital learning games using an immersive strategy. Spe-cifically, we were interested in finding out what game use in classroom settings taught candidates about the role of teacher as facilitator of instruction ..."

Undergraduate Research Projects as a Teaching and Learning Device

by Steve Blank
"... its curriculum is evaluated. The goals of the program are to provide students with opportunities to apply their newly acquired skills to real problems and, in so doing, to gain specialized familiarity with a topic and/or occupation. The results of the program have been good, in general, despite some ..."

Learning Activity Design on Mobile Learning Device: using ESL Reading Comprehension as Example

by unknown authors
"... Using information and communications technology in education has changed the learning process from the perspective of student, teacher, activity, and evaluation. This paper reports a design method to achieve the goal of the curriculum studies—optimum curriculum design, which means that the curriculu ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
that the curriculum will be evolutionary with the learning technology. This paper focuses on“product”technologies (i.e. learning devices) of learning technology evolution, such as mobile phone, laptop, tablet PC, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), etc. Hence, a teacher can directly use the digital contents for various

A Theory of Cerebellar Function

by James S. Albus , 1971
"... A comprehensive theory of cerebellar function is presented, which ties together the known anatomy and physiology of the cerebellum into a pattern-recognition data processing system. The cerebellum is postulated to be functionally and structurally equivalent to a modification of the classical Percept ..."

Perceptron pattern-classification device. It is suggested that the mossy fiber - granule cell - Golgi cell input network performs an expansion recoding that enhances the pattern-discrimination capacity and learning speed of the cerebellar Purkinje response cells.
