Motor planning for reach memorization task in 3D space
Arm reaching towards remembered targets in three-dimensional space was analyzed. The aim of the project was to test whether various amounts of visual feedback, in combination with constant forces applied to the arm during reaching would affect the magnitude and direction of the reaching errors. The …

Speech Production Effects on Word Learning and Memorization in Children
In this dissertation, I explore the impact of speech production on memory and learning in children, by investigating the Production Effect and the Reverse Production Effect. In the Production Effect, a memory advantage is observed for items that are produced aloud compared to items studied under …

Beyond Memorization: Exploring the Dynamics of Grokking in Sparse Neural Networks
… density estimations to track the evolution from memorization to generalization phases. Furthermore, we investigate the roles of weight decay and network robustness against outliers, focusing on optimizing neural network architectures to achieve effective generalization with fewer computational …

Memorization in trumpet pedagogy: A qualitative case study of its integration in the college-level applied studio
Memorization is an important component in the education of many classical musicians, but it is infrequently addressed in pedagogical literature for trumpet players. Furthermore, the area of memorization has undergone very little systematic investigation in the pedagogy of trumpeters and others for …

The role of analytical prestudy in the memorization and retention of piano music with subjects of varied aural/kinaesthetic ability
This study investigated the relationship of aural/kinaesthetic (A/K) ability, the ability to play by ear, to the time and number of repetitions needed for 16 subjects using four methods of prestudy to memorize and rememorize four compositions. Two of the methods involved studying the score before …

Implementation of Educational Games-based Instruction for Improving Sight Word Recognition
… and comprehension. Many teachers use a rote memorization method to teach these words; however, rote memorization is not the only way to provide effective sight word instruction. The use of games-based instruction for educational purposes in the classroom is an area of interest amongst both …

Musical Mnemonic Devices or Method of Loci: Which Promotes Higher Recall of Concrete and Abstract Words?
… mnemonic devices, the method of loci, or rote memorization— promotes a higher recollection of concrete or abstract words after immediate and 5 min recall tasks. The study consisted of 86 participants who were Central Washington University students, ages 18 to 59 years old. The participants were …

Text memorisation in China: hearing the learner and teacher voice
This thesis investigates text memorization, a widely used yet under-explored language practice in foreign language teaching and learning in mainland China. The inquiry was conducted along two lines: to conceptually examine a number of issues central to the understanding of the practice of text …

NeverMind : an interface for human Memory augmentation
… items is nearly tripled compared to paper-based memorization tasks. For this thesis, I suggest that we can trigger episodic memory for tasks that we normally associate with semantic memory, by using interfaces to passively stimulate the hippocampus, the entorhinal cortex, and the neocortex. …

Chinese Foreign Language Attrition: Investigating Aspect Marker Usage
… study is to investigate the effect that rote memorization has on language attrition. More specifically, the loss of grammatical aspect markers is investigated. This study measures the general language attrition of a memorized narrative and an open-ended narrative between time one (T1) and time …

Statistical physics of isotropic-genesis nematic elastomers
… environmental anisotropy, as well as the memorization of the random pattern of nematic fluctuations present at the instant of cross-linking. On the basis of this Landau-type theory, we address the following physical issues associated with the study of IGNEs: (i) The origin, nature, and …

The Effects of Hypertext and Prior Knowledge on Learning Geographic Information in Social Studies
… promote higher-order thinking rather than rote memorization of factual information. In addition, the results of this study clearly support the use of hypertext as an effective instructional medium to compensate for students' lack of background knowledge. Finally, findings from this study provide …

Satire and Synthesis: Parody and Satire of Victorian Education in the Works of Lewis Carroll
… shifting from religious to secular forms of rote memorization. An analysis of the works of Lewis Carroll reveals significant instances of parody, pastiche, and satire on these styles of education and their corresponding reform. Unlike traditional satire, however, Lewis Carroll’s satire does not …

Deep neural networks are lazy : on the inductive bias of deep learning
… to learn generalizable hypotheses and avoid memorization. In this respect, we propose results that suggest that the inductive bias stems from neural networks being lazy: they tend to learn simpler rules first. We also propose a definition of simplicity in deep learning based on the implicit …
