Learning ability in post-stroke aphasia : success, strategy use and implications for therapy
… for aphasia, can significantly improve people's ability to communicate. However, a major limitation in the field of aphasia rehabilitation is the lack of predictability in patients' response to therapy and the inability to tailor treatment to individuals. We hypothesize that learning represents a …

A deeper look into multi-task learning ability of unified text-to-text transformer
… models achieve better performance by multi-task learning, we designed several experiments to measure the knowledge transfer ability of a recently proposed model, TANL. In our experiments, we found that the multi-head attention in the decoder can capture the relationship between tasks which leads …

The effect of phonological working memory on children's Chinese spoken word learning
… phonological working memory can predict their ability to learn Chinese spoken words. Standard Chinese (Mandarin) is considered in this study and thus both terms (Chinese and Mandarin) will be used interchangeably. Participants included a total of 32 fourth grade American children who spoke …

Understanding the role of striosomes in learning a decision-making task
Learning to approach for rewards and avoid for costs is a necessary skill for species survival. In this thesis, I investigate the role of the striosomal compartment of the rodent basal ganglia while learning a cost-benefit decision making task. I analyze data from animals of different age groups …

Humor's Effect on Short-Term Memory in Older Adults: An Innovative Wellness Paradigm
… the detrimental effects of stress can impair the ability to learn and sustain memory. Humor and the associated mirthful laughter can reduce stress by decreasing the hormone cortisol. Chronic release of cortisol can damage hippocampal neurons leading to impairment of learning and memory. …

On the effect of dynamic adjustment of recurrent network parameters on learning
The thesis examines sequential learning in a neural network model derived by M. I. Jordan and J. L. Elman. In each of three experiments, different network parameters are systematically altered in a series of simulations. Each simulation measures learning ability for a specific network …

Performance of an AGI-aspiring system & narrow-AI approaches : a systematic comparison
… well as in traditional narrow-AI such as machine learning algorithms, direct comparisons between AI learners are few and far between. Evaluating and comparing the performance of different architectures is likely to prove valuable, and so is estimating the generality of an architecture by measuring …

Cocaine Use Modulates Neural Prediction Error During Aversive Learning
… use may contribute to dysfunctions in aversive learning, this paper uses fMRI and an aversive learning task to examine cocaine dependent individuals abstinent from cocaine use (C-) and using as usual (C+). Specifically of interest is the neural signal representing actual loss compared to the …

Second Skin : motion capture with actuated feedback for motor learning
… for the purpose of improving users' motor-learning ability. Such a system would track a user's body and limb movements as he or she performs an action, and then give the user automatic, real-time tactile feedback to aid in the correction of movement and position errors. This thesis details …
