Slow Learners at School

Slow Learners are Fast

Online learning algorithms have impressive convergence properties when it comes to risk minimization and convex games on very large problems. However, they are inherently sequential in their design which prevents them from taking advantage of modern multi-core architectures. In this paper we prove that online learning with delayed updates converges well, thereby facilitating parallel online lea...

The effect of ontime intervention on entering elementary school in slow learners

 Slow learners are progressing slower than their peers in their academic performance and need a lot of practice and repetition in teaching their concepts, so the purpose of this study is the effect of teaching the necessary skills to enter primary school in the form of early intervention educational package for slow learner beginners in the academic year of 2017-2018. Method: This quasi-expe...

Selective Attention in Fast and Slow Learners Wring Discrimination Learning in the Haptic Modality

Sixty-four eight-year old children were trained on a tactile simultaneous discrimination task. Selective attention was measured in terms of percentage contact time per trial to the relevant dimension. Interand intra-couplings per trial were also recorded. A multivariate analysis was carried out to examine the role of component factor scores, Obtained from a component curve analysis of both the ...

FoxP2 expression in avian vocal learners and non-learners.

Most vertebrates communicate acoustically, but few, among them humans, dolphins and whales, bats, and three orders of birds, learn this trait. FOXP2 is the first gene linked to human speech and has been the target of positive selection during recent primate evolution. To test whether the expression pattern of FOXP2 is consistent with a role in learned vocal communication, we cloned zebra finch ...
