Input Processing and the Teaching of German Two-way Prepositions
… in the last twenty years have focused on the input processing principles related to VanPatten’s approach to teaching grammar known as Processing Instruction (VanPatten and Cadierno, 1993; VanPatten, 2004; VanPatten, 2007; Lee and Benati, 2009). One of the principles, known as the Lexical …

Communicative value and linguistic knowledge in second language oral input processing
… and linguistic knowledge in second language input processing. It was hypothesized that focus of attention on an element of low communicative value would negatively affect input processing for meaning while focus of attention on an element of high communicative value would not. It was further …

"Grammar instruction and input processing: The acquisition of Spanish ""ser"" and ""estar"""
… traditional production-oriented instruction, processing instruction (VanPatten and Cadierno, 1993), and no-instruction. The traditional instruction was characterized by explanation of grammar rules followed by written and oral practice. The processing instruction involved grammar explanation …

Focus of Attention and Saliency of Bound Morphology in Sentence-Level Input Processing
… forms are much more difficult to perceive in the input than salient forms.

The effects of language instruction on L2 learners’ input processing and learning outcomes
… on L2 learners’ attention allocation, input processing, and learning outcomes. First, this dissertation tests the Lexical Preference Principle proposed in VanPatten’s Input Processing Model (1993, 1996), which states that L2 learners are more likely to rely on lexical rather than …

A Process-Based CALL Assessment: A Comparison of Input Processing and Program Use Behavior by Activity Type
In an effort to better understand the mental processing connected to different kinds of CALL activities, this study collected data on time subjects spent, as well as buttons subjects clicked while doing 10 different CALL activities accompanying a beginning French text book. In addition, a group of …

Second Language Comprehension and Processing Grammatical Form: The Effects of Topic Familiarity, Mode, and Pausing
… to VanPatten's (1996) second principle of input processing, second language (L2) learners are able to process grammatical form in the input only if they are able to process the informational content at little cost to attentional resources. Using this principle of input processing as a point …

The effects of simplification, linguistic item, and language experience on second language learners' attention to form contained in the input
… adult second language (L2) learners' information processing mechanism are largely responsible for what is attended to in the input. Recently, some psycholinguistic studies have begun to investigate the domain of input processing in an effort to understand what L2 learners attend to in the input …

Behavioral demonstration: an approach to rapid prototyping and requirements execution
… the logical and physical separation of the input, processing, and output components of interactive systems.

Inertia compensation of a planar robot for human upper limb interaction
… robot. Software was developed to provide sensor input processing from the robot encoders and force/torque transducer, and output processing for the robot motors. A controller scheme was developed to compensate for the natural robot configuration-based inertia as well as friction and un-modeled …

Hemispheric Effects of Response Hand and Concurrent Auditory and Visual Information Processing on Task Performance
… between the hemisphere of information input, processing, and motor response. This task-hemispheric integrity has been found to exist during concurrent performance of verbal and spatial tasks, both of which are presented in a visual modality. The present study sought to examine whether …

Computer mediated expression in paint
… main focus of the work. The system consists of input, processing, and output stages. Simplicity of integration and modularity are the primary design goals which inform the architecture for the processing stage as well as the need for the interface layers to be universal and simple. Several input …

The effects of processing instruction and re-exposure on interpretation discourse level tasks: the case of Japanese passive forms
… interpretation discourse level effects of processing instruction and re-exposure to processing instruction on the acquisition of a specific feature of the Japanese linguistics system: namely Japanese passive forms. Processing instruction is a type of focus on form which is framed around the …

Evolution-Inspired Design of Bacterial Biosensors
… mechanisms at three key junctures: sensing, processing, and actuation. In the first portion of this work, we identify 13 novel antimicrobial peptide (AMP)-activators of the S. Typhimurium PhoPQ two component system (TCS). We characterize the activation profiles of a subset of these AMPs in S. …

Performance analysis for lateral-line-inspired sensor arrays
… a sensor array, nearly nothing is known of the input processing and what information is available via the real lateral line. This thesis demonstrates and characterizes the ability of lateral-line-inspired linear pressure sensor arrays to perform two sensory tasks of relevance to biological and …

Definite and Indefinite Articles in Learner English: Identifying the Learning Problem and Addressing It with Processing Instruction Intervention
… with increased article omission. Drawing on Input Processing theory, I argue that learner difficulties might stem from the inappropriate processing of articles in the input, which leads to learners making incorrect mappings between form (articles) and meaning (identifiability). In addition, …

Functional and ultrastructural investigation of mouse and human dendritic spines
… of dendritic spines differentially sculpt input processing and plasticity. The technical challenge of tethering physiological measurements of synaptic strength to spine morphology and protein expression in specific cell types leaves many open questions for the field. Here, we combine …

Attentional processing of different types of written L2 input and its relationship with learners' working memory capacity
… widely accepted that sufficient target language input is necessary for successful L2 learning. However, the type and the amount of input as well as several cognitive mechanisms play an important role in input processing. The present study investigated how different cognitive mechanisms are …

A comparative study of the effects of processing instruction and output-based instruction on the acquisition of Italian future tense
… never been researched within this framework. Processing instruction was compared to a more traditional type of grammar instruction output-based. The impact of these two types of FFI was investigated on a well documented strategy (Musumeci 1989) used by second language (henceforth L2) learners …
