Cortical competition: a neurally plausible account of hemisphere-specific processing resources?
… cortical hemisphere has an independent tank of processing resources and that overloading a single hemisphere leads to performance degradation. However, it is not clear what such processing resources might be. We explore three ways of interpreting processing resources and their relationship to …

Processing resources, cautiousness, memory self -efficacy, and age differences in free recall
… the present study to investigate the effects of processing resources, cautiousness, and memory self-efficacy on adult age differences in free recall performance. A total of 80 young college students (mean age = 23 years) were used for the experimental manipulations; 40 older adults (mean age = 75 …

The Effects of Sentence Writing as Semantic Elaboration on the Allocation of Processing Resources and Second Language Lexical Acquisition
… and the inverse relationship found between processing second language (L2) input for meaning and for form (VanPatten, 1990), it is hypothesized that semantic elaboration may negatively affect word form learning. To test this hypothesis, a study was conducted operationalizing semantic …

The Role of Individual Differences in the Acceptability of Island Violations in Native and Non-native Speakers
… & Sag, 2010), however, island effects are due to processing difficulty because islands are complex and require additional processing resources that are beyond the capacity of most native speakers. To tease apart these contrasting theories of island effects, the present study, like Sprouse et al. …

The Effects of Multitasking on Quality Inspection in Advanced Manufacturing Systems
… in the inspected parts, but also by the mental processing resources required to meet the demand imposed by the multiple independent tasks and the memorized quality criteria. The best performance will be obtained when the additional tasks' load minimizes the monotony of the quality inspection …

Processing of English relative clauses by adult L2 learners
… of the characteristics of the L2 sentence processing mechanism deployed by adult L2 learners would provide valuable insights into this important human ability. The present dissertation is an attempt to draw a detailed picture of the L2 sentence processing mechanism by comparing L1 speakers …

Efficient Allocation And Enforcement Of Interfaces In Compositional Real-Time Systems
… partitions to ensure that the components receive resources according to their interfaces. Potential implementations of a resource partition are via server-based interfaces or demand-based interfaces. In this context, our thesis in this dissertation is as follows:</p> <p>Currently, server-based …

Adaptation in Non-Parametric State Estimation with Application to People Tracking
… usage and sharing of available sensing and processing resources. To perform reliable tracking, a preliminary step is fast and accurate people detection, for which we propose a locus-based probabilistic occupancy map (LPOM). The LPOM computes the probability of targets being in the map by …

Perceptual organization and its influence upon attention
… by exploiting the fact that the brain’s limited processing resources can be selectively allocated on the basis of ‘object-hood’. This allocation of processing resources, or attention, on the basis of these early stages of segmentation is commonly referred to as ‘object based attention’. ‘Object …

Development and evaluation of vision processing algorithms in multi-robotic systems.
… a single robot has very limited memory and processing resources, but the complete system is rich in these resources. As vision sensors provide rich surrounding awareness and vision algorithms also requires intensive processing. Therefore, vision processing tasks are the best candidate for …

On the power of (even a little) flexibility in dynamic resource allocation
… allocation problems, in which multiple types of processing resources are used to serve multiple types of incoming demands that arrive stochastically over time. Partial flexibility refers to scenarios where (a) only a small fraction of the total processing resources is flexible, or (b) each …

The Processing of Stimulus Attributes: Evidence for Dual-Task Integrality (Erp, P300, Time Sharing)
… predict that tasks which require different processing resources can be more successfully time shared than tasks which require common resources. We suggest that dual-task decrements can be avoided even when the same resources are required by both tasks, by designing the tasks so that the …

The Relationship between Speech Disfluencies Produced under Delayed Auditory Feedback and Auditory Processing Skills in Fluent Speakers.
… susceptibility to DAF and their auditory processing skills. Forty participants (20 males and 20 females) read and produced monologue at no delay and 3 different delay levels of 100, 200, and 400 ms. Auditory processing skills were evaluated using dichotic digits test (DDT) and staggered …

Resource allocation in dysthymia and anhedonia
… are hyporesponsive during information processing tasks. This can be interpreted as evidence of a deficit in the availability or allocation of processing resources. The present research addressed this possibility by comparing dysthymics to anhedonic and normal control subjects in a …

The Structural Constraint and The Strategic Control of Attention Allocation
… allocation for the task pairs utilizing common resources than separate resources. Two implications of these results are noteworthy. First, the structural effects suggest that the different processing resources defined by the structure-specific resource model may have different functional …

Resource Allocation Using Touch And Audition
… multi-task with inputs that demand attention, processing, andencoding, sensory interference is possible at almost any level. Multiple Resource Theory (MRT) suggests that such interference may be avoided by drawing from separate pools of resources available when using different sensory channels, …

Cooperative hierarchical resource management for efficient composition of parallel software
… best achieved by exposing unvirtualized hardware resources and sharing these cooperatively across parallel codes within an application. This thesis presents Lithe, a user-level framework that enables efficient composition of parallel software components. Lithe provides the basic primitives, …

Coreference processing in L1 and L2
… of anaphors, and the extent to which coreference processing in L2 is guided by the same factors that operate in L1 processing. Experiments 1 and 2 (English) tested the prediction that an entity in the subject position is more accessible than an entity in the object position as measured by the …

Mechanisms of Sensory Adaptation in the Primate Visual System
… system far exceeds the brain’s information processing capacity. Given the limited dynamic range of its neurons and its limited capacity in processing visual information in real-time, the brain deploys both structural and functional solutions that work in tandem to adapt to the surroundings. …
