Using self-directed learning strategies and affective factors in educating adult English learners

Heald, Jennifer Margaret 01 January 2004 (has links)
The content of this project will serve to demonstrate that ample research connects self-directed learning to more healthy psychological dynamics in language acquisition. It will also show that self-directed learning strategies are practical and effective in teaching a second language.

THE SIZE BIAS: DOES IT EXIST, AND HOW WOULD WE EXAMINE IT IN THE BRAIN

Daniel Lucas Larranaga (11373945) 29 October 2021 (has links)
Abstract: Many regions of the cortex have been identified to be specifically selective for different features. For example, visually presented stimuli proceed, via both the dorsal “where” and ventral “what” streams, before converging in the frontal cortex for decision making processes. However, several subregions of both streams have been identified that demonstrate selectivity on many semantic dimensions, such as size. Most of the studies examining regions selectively activated in maintenance of semantic size have employed the use of visually presented images. In the present, however, study we provide a review of relevant literature, proposed techniques, and a list of word stimuli that may help elucidate the multivariate neural processing of several semantic dimensions.

Why saying is believing: epistemic and relational pathways towards the creation of shared reality with others / Dire c'est croire: voies épistémique et relationnelle vers la création d'une réalité partagée avec autrui.

Pierucci, Sabrina 24 March 2012 (has links)
On tend souvent à envisager la communication comme intervenant au-delà de la cognition. Par exemple, lorsque nous évoquons la personnalité d’un ami, nous nous contenterions d’exprimer des représentations déjà stockées en mémoire. Contrairement à cette idée reçue, ma thèse part du postulat que la communication à propos d’objets sociaux, loin de simplement exprimer des croyances déjà formées a priori, participe à la construction de ces représentations mentales. Pour soutenir cela, nous avons d’abord tracé l’histoire de l’évolution dans la façon de concevoir le rapport entre le langage et la pensée (voir Klein, Marchal, Van der Linden, Pierucci & Waroquier, 2011). Nous sommes partis du modèle du code (Shannon & Weaver, 1949) pour ensuite considérer des approches théoriques alternatives mettant l’accent sur comment les facteurs contextuels (par ex. la présence d’une audience donnée) influencent le processus de communication. Nous avons ainsi considéré comment le fait même de communiquer à propos d’un individu influence notre perception de cet individu. En cela, mon travail est largement influencé par le concept d’Audience tuning (Higgins 1992, 1999). Plus précisément, l’effet du « dire c’est croire » (Saying-is-Believing: Higgins & Rholes, 1978) se réfère à l’influence de l’audience sur la mémoire du locuteur même :les locuteurs, lorsqu’ils communiquent à une audience possédant une attitude connue vis-à-vis d’un certain sujet, adaptent leur messages en le rendant plus conforme à l’attitude de l’audience mais surtout, leur mémoire et leur impression tendent à s’accorder à la teneur du message transmis à l’audience. Cette influence de l’énonciation sur la cognition ayant déjà été mise en évidence à travers des nombreuses recherches (pour une revue, voir Echterhoff, Higgins, Kopietz & Groll, 2008), les processus responsables de cet effet restent incertains. L’explication la plus exhaustive de l’effet du « dire c’est croire » fait appel au besoin du locuteur de partager une réalité avec l’interlocuteur. C’est uniquement dans le cas où la communication serait motivée par des buts de « réalité partagée » qu’elle aurait un impact sur la mémoire du locuteur même (Echterhoff, Higgins & Levine, 2009). Le besoin de créer une réalité partagée avec l’audience remplirait des fonctions épistémiques (i.e. en communiquant à propos d’autrui, je parviens à mieux cerner sa personnalité que je ne le ferais si je me contentais d’une activité mentale « privée ») et relationnelles (i.e. en communiquant à propos d’autrui, je crée et développe une relation avec mon interlocuteur). Dans mon travail, j’explore les rôles respectifs de ces deux types de motivations sur l’effet du « dire c’est croire » et, de façon plus générale, dans le processus de construction d’une réalité partagée. <p>Dans ma démarche expérimentale, j’ai privilégié des études permettant d’explorer des situations concrètes dans lesquelles l’effet du « dire c’est croire » était susceptible d’apparaître. <p>\ / Doctorat en Sciences Psychologiques et de l'éducation / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Structural Priming from Production to Comprehension in Aphasia

Austin D Keen (13028577) 11 July 2022 (has links)
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Many persons with aphasia (PWA) show deficits in sentence production and comprehension which are, in part, attributed to an inefficient mapping between messages and syntactic structures. Structural priming—the tendency to repeat a previously encountered sentence structure—has been shown to support implicit syntactic learning within and across production and comprehension modalities in healthy adults. Structural priming is effective in facilitating the production or comprehension of sentences in PWA. However, less is known about whether priming in one modality changes PWA’s performance in the other modality, which is crucial evidence needed for developing structural priming as a cost-effective intervention strategy in aphasia.</p> <p><strong>Aims</strong>: This study examined (a) whether production to comprehension cross-modality priming is effective in PWA, (b) whether priming-induced changes in syntactic comprehension lasted even in the absence of an immediate prime, and (c) whether there is a significant correlation between individuals’ priming effects and the change in their comprehension following priming.</p> <p><strong>Methods & Procedures: </strong>Thirteen PWA and 13 age-matched control participants completed a training study comprised of three phases: a pre-test, a production-to-comprehension priming block, and a post-test. In the pre- and post-tests, participants completed a sentence-picture matching task with sentences involving interpretations of an ambiguous prepositional phrase (e.g., The teacher is poking the monk <u>with a bat</u>). Participants were free to choose a picture corresponding to a high attachment (HA; e.g., the teacher is using the bat to poke the monk) or a low attachment (LA; e.g., the monk is the one holding the bat) interpretation. In the priming block, participants produced LA sentences as prime and then completed a sentence-picture matching task for comprehension targets, similar to the pre-test. </p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Age-matched controls and PWA showed a significant priming effect when comparing the priming block to the pre-test. In both groups, the priming effect persisted when comparing picture selections in the pre- and post-tests. At the individual level, age-matched controls who showed larger priming effects also selected more LA pictures in the post-test compared to the pre-test, indicating that the priming effect accounted for the magnitude of change from the pre- to post-test. This correlation was also found in PWA.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: The findings of this study suggest that production-to-comprehension cross-modality priming is effective and persistent in PWA and controls, in line with the view that structural priming is a form of implicit learning. Further, the findings support sentence processing models that suggest syntactic representations are shared between production and comprehension, and therefore, production influences future comprehension. Cross-modality priming from production to comprehension has clinical potential to improve sentence processing in PWA. </p>
