Metaphors We Learn By: Directed motor action improves word learning
(COGNITION, 2019)
Can performing simple motor actions help people learn the meanings of words? Here we show that placing vocabulary flashcards in particular locations after studying them helps students learn the definitions of novel words ...
Redefining “Learning” in Statistical Learning: What Does an Online Measure Reveal About the Assimilation of Visual Regularities?
(Cognitive Science, 2018)
From a theoretical perspective, most discussions of statistical learning (SL) have focused on
the possible “statistical” properties that are the object of learning. Much less attention has been
given to defining what ...
Effect of prewhitening in resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy data
(Neurophotonics, 2018)
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers the potential to characterize resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in populations that are not easily assessed otherwise, such as young infants. In addition to the advantages ...
Dorsal anterior cingulate-brainstem ensemble as a reinforcement meta-learner
(PLOS Computational Biology, 2018)
Optimal decision-making is based on integrating information from several dimensions of decisional space (e.g., reward expectation, cost estimation, effort exertion). Despite considerable empirical and theoretical efforts, ...
Characterization of Ln4Al2O9 (Ln=Y, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb) rare-earth aluminates as new high-temperature barriers
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)
A family of cuspidine-type rare-earth (RE) aluminates with the general formula Ln4Al2O9 (Ln= Y, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb) was prepared for potential use as thermal-barrier coating (TBC) materials with appropriate properties. Various ...
Designing multifunctional pigments for an improved energy efficiency in buildings
(Elsevier, 2017-07-15)
Materials science offers solutions that when are combined can offer important energy savings in the building sector. In this study, high reflectance coating and thermal storage capacity are combined with the aim of improving ...
Statistical Speech Segmentation in Tone Languages: The Role of Lexical Tones
(Language and Speech, 2018)
Research has demonstrated distinct roles for consonants and vowels in speech processing. For
example, consonants have been shown to support lexical processes, such as the segmentation
of speech based on transitional ...
When Grammar and Parsing Agree
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
Improving the signal detection accuracy of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(NeuroImage, 2018)
A major drawback of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) concerns the lack of detection accuracy of the measured signal. Although this limitation stems in part from the neuro-vascular nature of the fMRI signal, it ...
Teaching and research in Criminology in the Scandinavian countries
(Instituto Vasco de Criminología, 1990-04)
Criminology as a recently recognized university discipline and research on criminological studies in the Scandinavian countries.
