The Effect of Levels of Processing on Event-Related-Potentials
… was to determine if physiological correlates of encoding and retrieval could be observed across three levels of processing. It was hypothesized that physiological correlates of encoding and retrieval would be observed at electrode sites near Cz with the semantic processing condition yielding …

A Processing Approach to the Working Memory/Long-Term Memory Distinction: Evidence from a Levels-of-Processing Span Task
… this point, Craik and Tulving's classic levels-of-processing paradigm was adapted for use in a WM span task: Participants made visual, phonological, or semantic judgments about 33 words using the same stimuli and instructions as Craik and Tulving: 1975), but were to recall words …

Hemispheric Mechanisms of Visuospatial Selective Attention
… contralateral attentional bias at multiple levels of processing, and individuals can reduce the influence of hemispheric utilization bias when it is detrimental to task performance.

Parallel architectures and parallel algorithms for integrated vision systems
Computer vision has been regarded as one of the most complex and computationally intensive problems. An integrated vision system (IVS) is a system that uses vision algorithms from all levels of processing to perform for a high level application (e.g, object recognition). This thesis addresses …

Individual Differences and Notetaking: Exploring Alternative Strategies for Improved Test Performance
… best recall after a delay, consistent with the levels-of-processing framework. However, when participants restudied their notes in Experiment 3, typing transcribed notes produced the best recall. Our results suggest that both the translation effect: Gathercole & Conway, 1988) and the …

Person Memory: The Role of Processing Strategy, Expectancy, and Level of Incongruity in The Processing of Interindividual and Intraindividual Behavioral Variability
Recent attempts to integrate levels of processing framework into a network model of person memory have led to several hypotheses that were examined in the reported research. In particular, the levels of processing approach suggests that information that is incongruent with a prior expectancy will …

Examining Age-related Enhancement of Multisensory Gain: The Role of Sensory Decline and Inverse Effectiveness
… This makes it difficult to discern the source of age-related differences in multisensory gain. Through a combination of stimulus-matched and perception-matched tasks, I found that older adults exhibit enhanced multisensory gain at low levels of detection and speech-perception, and higher levels …

Vocabulary acquisition and the generation effect
This study investigated two methods of inducing the Generation Effect and how its principles might be incorporated in vocabulary acquisition. Subjects attempted to learn 22 unfamiliar vocabulary words under one of three conditions. (1) definition-only control subjects repeatedly wrote each word and …

The Impact of Radiometric Calibration Error on Earth Observation-supported Decision Making
… added products from radiometric satellite images often use indices derived from the unique spectral properties of materials and are sensitive to the relative gains of the different bands of the satellite sensor. However, satellite sensors are susceptible to degradation from the space environment, …

Sphere detection and LDPC decoding algorithms and architectures for wireless systems
… high spectral efficiency leads to utilization of communication systems with multiple transmit and receive antennas. In addition, excellent error-rate performance can be achieved with iterative receiver structure composed of inner detection and outer decoding. In this work we design algorithms …

Multiple Species of Distinctiveness in Memory: Separating Task Distinctiveness from Statistical Distinctiveness
<p>Distinctiveness refers to the memorial benefit of processing unique or item-specific features of a memory set relative to a non-distinctive control. Traditional distinctiveness effects are accounted for based on qualitative differences in how distinctive items are encoded at the time of study. …

Orthogonal Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (OGFDM)
… thesis focuses on introducing a novel technique of the transmission waveform termed as orthogonal generalized frequency division multiplexing (OGFDM) for increasing the wireless channel capacity without the need for extra bandwidth (BW) size or power consumption. The new wireless waveform (OGFDM) …

Effectiveness of using structured aids in learning number concepts for middle primary school children
This study set out to evaluate the effectiveness of using Blockaid material for the teaching and learning of number concepts and of operations in middle primary school. Blockaid is base 10 material designed to model number in multiple representations. The different representations facilitate the …

The Effects of DDAVP on Speed of Accessing Long-Term Memory and Incidental Learning in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers
<p>The effects of desmopressin acetate (DDAVP), a vasopressin analog, were investigated using a computerized task designed to measure speed of accessing long-term memory at three levels of processing (physically identical decisions, same name decisions and same category decisions), and an …

The Effects of Embedded Question Type and Locus of Control on Processing Depth, Knowledge Gain, and Attitude Change in a Computer-Based Interactive Video Environment
The differential effectiveness of two types of adjunct embedded questions in facilitating deep processing, increased knowledge gain, and increased positive attitude change was examined in this two-session laboratory study. In session one, subjects completed a measure of locus of control (LOC) …

Facilitating descriptions for unattended persons: the quality of person descriptions from recall memory following inattentive encoding and facilitation of inattentive memory
… provided valuable insight into the reliability of eyewitness memory, advising how best to elicit target information and predicting when errors are most likely. However, most research-based recommendations are based on the performance of ’attentive’ witnesses, who were aware that the stimuli held …

Utilizing ESL Learners’ Socio-Cognitive Resources to Enhance General Academic Vocabulary Acquisition
… socio-cognitive resources (the combination of culturally relevant imagery and first language (L1) facilitate their Second Language (L2) general academic vocabulary acquisition in a social learning setting. The study investigated whether the use of culturally relevant imagery and L1 …

Cognitive deficits in chronic fatigue syndrome
… poor memory, reduced attention, and slowness of thought. Whilst much of the earlier literature presented conflicting results, more recently the theory that there is slowed processing has been suggested. Standard neuropychological tests have been used and been helpful in the description of this …

The Encoding of Frequency Information as an Automatic Process: A Quantitative Review
<p>People use information on how often events occur as the basis for many decisions they must make. For example, it has been shown that people will credit a statement as being more true the more frequently they have heard it. Additionally, probability information derived from observations of the …
