Manipulating attentional load in sequence learning through random number generation
Implicit learning is often assumed to be an effortless process. However, some artificial grammar learning and sequence learning studies using dual tasks seem to suggest that attention is essential for implicit learning to occur. This discrepancy probably results from the specific type of secondary task that is used. Different secondary tasks may engage attentional resources differently and ther...
متن کاملManipulating number generation: loud + long = large?
Humans make numerous choices every day and tend to perceive these choices as free. The present study shows how simple free choices are biased by experiencing unrelated auditory information. In two experiments, participants categorized tones according to their intensity on the dimensions volume and duration on the majority of trials. On some trials, however, they were to randomly generate a numb...
متن کاملRandom Number Generation in gretl
The increasing popularity and complexity of random number intensive methods such as simulation and bootstrapping in econometrics requires researchers to have a good grasp of random number generation in general, and the specific generators that they employ in particular. Here, we discuss the random number generation options, their specifications, and their implementations in gretl. We also asses...
متن کاملAccuracy in Random Number Generation
The generation of continuous random variables on a digital computer encounters a problem of accuracy caused by approximations and discretization error. These in turn impose a bias on the simulation results. An ideal discrete approximation of a continuous distribution and a measure of error are proposed. Heuristic analysis of common methods for transforming uniform deviates to other continuous r...
متن کاملRandom Number Generation 1
Universit e de Montr eal 2 4.1 INTRODUCTION Random numbers are the nuts and bolts of simulation. Typically, all the randomness required by the model is simulated by a random number generator whose output is assumed to be a sequence of independent and identically distributed (IID) U(0; 1) random variables (i.e., continuous random variables distributed uniformly over the interval (0; 1)). These r...
