Electrophysiological indices of syntactic processing difficulty
Two types of processing difficulty are examined by means of electrical recordings taken from the scalp. One type of difficulty seems to be related to syntactic structural anomalies and another is related with memory load due to syntactic complexity. An experiment dealing with structural difficulty …

Artificial intelligence agent for assessing game difficulty
Balancing game difficulty is a key element of developing games which engage players without causing frustration. Difficulty balancing is an iterative process and game developers frequently rely on user tests to guide them, but the cost of user testing can be prohibitive, particularly for …

The Association Between Learning Styles and Academic Difficulty
… and the occurrence and severity of academic difficulty. Learning style was put into four groups based upon learning-type theory; sensing-thinking, intuitive-thinking, sensing-feeling, and intuitive feeling. Thirty third and fourth grade students from a public elementary school in central New …

Investigating Internal Biomechanics for Insights into Climbing Difficulty
… across the climber’s limbs impacts route difficulty. By applying a static equilibrium model to pose estimations found using machine learning techniques, we examine climber movements filmed in an indoor climbing gym. The two main objectives were to understand optimal body positioning to …

Prediction and prevention of learning difficulty among kindergarten students
… screening programs in predicting learning difficulty. Claims made regarding the program's prevention of such difficulty were not supported by the data.

The influence of perceived task difficulty on task performance
… to investigate the influence that the perceived difficulty of a task has on task performance. Twenty-one undergraduate college students were asked to complete three anagram worksheets. Each worksheet had a different description of difficulty (easy, medium, hard), although all worksheets were of …

Difficulty in Facial Emotion Recognition in Children with ADHD
… It is known that children with ADHD have more difficulty in facial emotion recognition, which is processing one's emotion by facial expressions, compared to normal children. This study was designed to investigate the differences in facial emotion recognition between ADHD and normal control. …

Alcohol, task difficulty, and incentives in drill press operation
The effects of alcohol, task difficulty, and incentives on a drill press simulation were examined. On four nonconsecutive days the subject received four alcohol levels, one level per day. The levels were: 0.00%, 0.03%, 0.06%, and 0.09% blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The drill press simulation …

Parietal contributions to visual working memory depend on task difficulty
… as a function of WM task demands, WM task difficulty and/or participants' WM capacity. In Experiment 1, we applied cathodal and anodal tDCS to the right parietal cortex and tested participants on both previously used WM tasks. We observed an interaction between tDCS (anodal, cathodal), WM …

Visual vs auditory coupling in dyads under different task difficulty
… evaluated using easy, moderate, and hard task difficulty conditions. I predicted that the visual coupling condition would have higher performance measures overall, and the bimodal (combination of auditory and visual cues) coupling condition would have higher performance as difficulty increased. …

Walsh analysis, epistasis, and optimization problem difficulty for evolutionary algorithms
… of length L. Epistasis is related to problem difficulty for evolutionary algorithms. Walsh analysis can be used to quantify epistasis. In this dissertation Walsh analysis is developed in detail starting with the definitions for the Walsh transform. The epistasis of a polynomial is shown to be …

Effects of Practice Type and Task Difficulty on Visuospatial Performance
… different types of practice, and levels of task difficulty affect visuospatial performance. Seventy-eight undergraduate students participated in the Block Design Task (extracted from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) in which they had to construct a design with the blocks based on a printed …

The Effects of Goal Difficulty and Self-Evaluation on Mood
… of this study is to examine the effect of goal difficulty and self-evaluation on mood over the course of an academic semester. Participants were divided into two groups. One group was asked to set "very diffcult" academic goals, while the other group was asked to set "realistic" academic goals. …

Task Parallelness : Investigating the Difficulty of Two Spoken Narrative Tasks.
This thesis explores how task parallelness might be established; this is of fundamental importance to any discussion in the areas of language testing and task-based research, where the equivalence of tasks is a prerequisite. Five pilot studies were conducted using two spoken narrative tasks from an …
