Grzyb, Beata J.; Nagai, Yukie; Asada, Minoru; Cattani, Allegra; Floccia, Caroline; Cangelosi, Angelo – Developmental Science, 2019
Young children sometimes attempt an action on an object, which is inappropriate because of the object size--they make scale errors. Existing theories suggest that scale errors may result from immaturities in children's action planning system, which might be overpowered by increased complexity of object representations or developing teleofunctional…

Gautam, Dipesh; Swiecki, Zachari; Shaffer, David W.; Graesser, Arthur C.; Rus, Vasile – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
Virtual internships are online simulations of professional practice where students play the role of interns at a fictional company. During virtual internships, participants complete activities and then submit write-ups in the form of short answers, digital notebook entries. Prior work used classifiers trained on participant data to automatically…

Roelofs, Ardi; Dijkstra, Ton; Gerakaki, Svetlana – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2013
Whereas most theoretical and computational models assume a continuous flow of activation from concepts to lexical items in spoken word production, one prominent model assumes that the mapping of concepts onto words happens in a discrete fashion (Bloem & La Heij, 2003). Semantic facilitation of context pictures on word translation has been taken to…

Lerner, Itamar; Bentin, Shlomo; Shriki, Oren – Cognitive Science, 2012
Localist models of spreading activation (SA) and models assuming distributed representations offer very different takes on semantic priming, a widely investigated paradigm in word recognition and semantic memory research. In this study, we implemented SA in an attractor neural network model with distributed representations and created a unified…

Zhao, Xiaowei; Li, Ping – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2013
Cross-language priming is a widely used experimental paradigm in psycholinguistics to study how bilinguals' two languages are represented and organized. Researchers have observed a number of interesting patterns from the priming effects of both translation equivalents and semantically related word pairs across languages. In this study, we…

International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2012
The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
