On the effectiveness of self-paced learning
… must be accurate and efficient in order to allow self-guided learners to improve their performance. Yet few examples exist in which allowing learners to control learning produces higher levels of performance than restricting learners’ control. Here we investigate the consequences of allowing …

Motivation, Usability and Their Interrelationships in a Self-paced Online Learning Environment
… motivation and learning performance in a self-paced, online learning environment. The study also investigated the interrelationships between commonly-used usability measures and the motivation measures based on Keller's ARCS model. A two-phase study approach was used. In Phase I, an …

Sound-production Related Cognitive Tasks for Onset Detection in Self-Paced Brain-Computer Interfaces
… proposing a novel method of onset detection for Self-Paced (SP) Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to increase usability and practicality of BCIs towards real-world uses from laboratory research settings. Approach. To achieve this goal, various Sound-Production Related Cognitive Tasks (SPRCTs) were …

The role of retrieval during study: from self-paced study time and overt rehearsal
… were separated by various lags. In Experiment 1, self-paced study times were collected and used to index the on-line process of reminding. In Experiment 2, participants were instructed rehearse out loud anything that came to mind during study. In both experiments, the reminding effect was observed …

Self-paced treadmill as a rehabilitation tool for recovering functional gait in people with stroke
… with an immersive virtual reality environment, self-paced treadmill (in which the belt speed automatically adapts to the user's intended speed) training can be used to simulate an overground community walking experience with the potential to train more complex walking skills such as speed …

Using Direct Instruction to Enhance Student Achievement in a Self-Paced High School Mathematics Classroom
… the inclusion of direct instruction with the self-paced component of the computer program as it relates to student confidence and to achievement in both coursework and standardized tests. The reviewed literature focuses on student confidence, cognitively appropriate placement, the use of …

The effects of hand and forearm cooling on self-paced cycling performance in the heat.
… effectiveness of hand and forearm per-cooling on self-paced cycling performance in the heat. We hypothesized that continuous, localized cooling would attenuate thermal strain and improve thermal sensation, thereby enhancing performance during a 20-km cycling time trial (TT). Ten trained cyclists …

Design of a self-paced brain computer interface system using features extracted from three neurological phenomena
Self-paced Brain computer interface (SBCI) systems allow individuals with motor disabilities to use their brain signals to control devices, whenever they wish. These systems are required to identify the user’s “intentional control (IC)” commands and they must remain inactive during all periods in …

The effect of short high intensity intermitent training on pain tolerance and self-paced cycling performance
… are effective at increasing pain tolerance and self-paced exercise performance. Consequently, we investigated the effect of a short HIIT intervention on pain tolerance and 5 km time trial (TT) cycling performance. Methods Participants (n=18) were randomly assigned and completed either three …

Effects of Self-Paced, Computer-Assisted Instruction on the Behavior Choices of at-Risk Students in a Suspension Program
This thesis explores self-paced, computer-assisted instruction as a variable affecting the behavior of at-risk students in a long-term suspension program. The use of technology as an aspect of classroom procedures is becoming more and more common. Studies show consistently positive results on …

Precondizionamento ischemico non migliora la prestazione in atleti mezzofondisti in una prova sui 5000 metri di “self paced exercise”
… hypothesis that IP improved performance during self-paced exercise (SPE) in the field. 11 healthy male well trained runners performed three randomly assigned 5000 m self-paced running test in a regular athletic track. One was the reference (RT) test, while the others where performed after muscle …

L1 and L2 Processing of Filler-Gap Dependencies in Mandarin Chinese Speakers: Evidence from Self-Paced Reading Times and Event-Related Potentials
… in the dissertation. Experiment 1 used a self-paced reading paradigm to investigate how L1 English speakers and L2 speakers with L1 Mandarin Chinese process filler-gap dependencies with varying dependency lengths (long vs. short) and filler plausibility (plausible vs. implausible). The …

Implicit graphemic cues in Thai reading
… absence of explicit word boundary punctuation. A self-paced reading experiment investigates the role that visual salience of graphemes that appear above or below the main line of text plays in word segmentation and reading. Visual salience was operationally defined by the physical size of the …

Comparative effectiveness of selected remediation programs in postsecondary mathematics
… small classes with open-response testing, and a self-paced, self-study program with no testing. The study is limited to traditionally aged students (18-22 years old) who were enrolled in a remedial mathematics program at the university during the spring semester of 1990. Many of these students …

Inflectional morphology in the literacy of deaf children
… demonstrated morpho-syntactic awareness – in a self-paced reading task they revealed sensitivity to subject-verb number agreement. However, deaf children demonstrated limited knowledge of irregular plural nouns and of morpho-syntax. In the self-paced reading task, they were slow to perform …

The Effects of Using Instructional Technology on Student Motivation, Achievement and Resource Management Skills in Higher Education
… study was conducted to determine if the use of a self-paced instructional computer package in higher education effected student motivation, resource management skills and course achievement scores. The sample consisted of predominately freshmen in a 100-level economics course in which half the …
