The Role Of Imagery And Abstraction In Proverb Comprehension: A Dual-coding Analysis Of Figurative Language
… the claim (Reichman and Coste, 1980) that a dual coding approach to language representation cannot explain interpretation of figurative language. That claim was based on earlier findings that were interpreted as showing that memory representations of the figurative meanings of proverbs are …

An experimental test of dual coding theory using various media and visual momentum in a multimedia environment
… used to test predictions based on a model of dual-coding theory (DCT) and on an engineering design principle named visual momentum. DCT is a general cognitive information processing theory. Under DCT, external stimuli are represented in either the verbal or nonverbal symbolic systems. The …

Virtual reality-based investigation of four cognitive theories for navigation
… Processing-Response Compatibility Theory, Recoding Mechanism Theory, and Dual Coding Theory). A secondary problem was the determination of the relationship between navigation and spatial ability. Spatial ability has been linked to map reading performance. Issues addressed included display …

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for Improving Students' Noticing of Practice during Virtual Site Visits
… cognitive theory of multimedia learning, and dual coding theory. To determine if the learning tool can call students' attention to annotated practice concepts in videos, a usability evaluation was conducted. Finally, this research investigated the influence of individual differences that could …

New Roles for Mitochondria in Shaping Antiviral and Stress Responses
… My studies serve as a model to characterize dual-coding transcripts which are an understudied class of genes associated with a variety of cell processes. Using insights from miR-147 I have bioinformatically defined the landscape of dual-coding transcripts encoding a miRNA paired with a …

The Impact of Textual Display Strategies on Learning from Electronic Presentations
… to decreased cognitive load, leveraged dual coding, and facilitated active processing, for example – many of them are not supported by empirical evidence that they do in fact enhance learning. Some of the recommended best practice strategies unsupported by empirical evidence include the …

The effect of oxidized guanines on DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase β
… cytosine and a non-canonical adenine. Due to its dual coding potential, DNA polymerases frequently make the mistake of inserting adenine instead of cytosine during DNA replication. We hypothesized that other oxidized guanines, such as 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (Fapy•dG) and …

Utilizing ESL Learners’ Socio-Cognitive Resources to Enhance General Academic Vocabulary Acquisition
… Theory (Vygotsky, 1978) and the Bilingual Dual Coding Theory (Paivio & Desrochers, 1980)—which assumes that bilinguals’ cognitive activity is mediated by their two verbal systems and the image system representing their knowledge of the world. Utilizing a sequential explanatory mixed method …

Fractured pedagogy: the design and implementation fault line in architectural knowledge - a conceptual and historical analysis
… exhibition catalogues which convey what individual architects say to each other about their work, and official reports which convey what institutional representatives of the organised profession say about failures in the work of architects. These data sets are contradictory, reinforcing the …

Identifying protein-coding genes and synonymous constraint elements using phylogenetic codon models
… for comparative genomics analysis of protein-coding genes using phylogenetic codon models, in pursuit of two main lines of biological investigation: First, we develop PhyloCSF, an algorithm based on empirical phylogenetic codon models to distinguish protein-coding and non-coding regions in …

The interaction of images and text during comprehension of garden-path sentences: is integration better than good enough?
"One of the main goals of reading is to construct a discourse representation. However, when information in the discourse is confusing or ambiguous, readers are often not able to create a fluid, accurate understanding of the text. Decades of research on temporarily ambiguous garden-path sentences …

The Effects of Task Criticality and Target Modality on a Simulated Battlefield Search Task
… credence to the Pictorial Superiority Effect, Dual-Coding Theory, and the Critical Decision Method. As pictorial information may lower cognitive resource demand, these results suggest that warfighters and other operators should be presented with pictorial information during a critical task to …

Advanced fibre gratings and their applications
… For the first time, an intensity and wavelength dual-coding interrogation technique was demonstrated showing significantly enhanced capacity of grating sensor multiplexing. Based on the mode-splitting measurement, instead of using conventional wavelength-shifting detection technique, successful …

Visualising ribosome profiling and using it for reading frame detection and exploration of eukaryotic translation initiation
Ribosome profiling (ribo-seq) is a recently developed technique that provides genomewide information on protein synthesis (GWIPS) in vivo. The high resolution of ribo-seq is one of the exciting properties of this technique. In Chapter 2, I present a computational method that utilises the sub-codon …

Anesthesia Clinical Performance Outcomes: Does Teaching Methodology Make A Difference?
<p>Researchers have studied memory recall of crisis-oriented or emotional events in non-educational settings. However, within the health care field, there has been a limited study of the the concept of recall of crisis oriented or emotional events in& health care education. Crisis-oriented events …
