Task Difficulty and Its Components: Are They Alike or Different across Different Macro-genres?
Task difficulty across different macro-genres continues to remain among less attended areas in second language development studies. This study examined the correlation between task difficulty across the descriptive, narrative, argumentative, and expository macro-genres. The three components of task difficulty (i.e., code complexity, cognitive complexity, and communicative stress) were also comp...
متن کاملLearning that numbers are the same, while learning that they are different
It has been suggested that the way that number words are used may play an important role in the development of number concepts. However, little is currently known about the overall ways in which number words are used in child-directed speech. To address this, we performed an analysis of how number words are used in the CHILDES database. We looked at four statistics: 1) lexical frequency, 2) con...
متن کاملBiological invasions
Where do basal bodies come from? The basal body is considered to be a self-replicating organelle. In a process that is not yet completely understood, the daughter basal body is assembled adjacent and orthogonal to the mother organelle. Although this was long speculated to be a templated assembly process, it is likely that the mother basal body acts as the site where components required for asse...
متن کاملShould Biological Invasions Be Managed as Natural Disasters?
Biological invasions and natural disasters are similar phenomena: Their causes are well understood, but their occurrences are generally unpredictable and uncontrollable. Both invasions and natural disasters can generate enormous environmental damage, and the frequency of damaging events is inversely proportional to their magnitude. Many nations invest in personnel training, disaster preparednes...
متن کاملBiological Invasions , Biological Diversity and Trade
The opening of new markets or trade routes has resulted in the deliberate or accidental introduction of new species, while the growth in the volume of trade has increased the frequency of species introductions. We model the connection between landscape heterogeneity, resource extraction, the level of biodiversity, and the level of trade. We show that the invasion risks of trade reduce the socia...
