Target capture strategy selection in a simulated marksmanship task

Sensorimotor Learning during a Marksmanship Task in Immersive Virtual Reality

Sensorimotor learning refers to improvements that occur through practice in the performance of sensory-guided motor behaviors. Leveraging novel technical capabilities of an immersive virtual environment, we probed the component kinematic processes that mediate sensorimotor learning. Twenty naïve subjects performed a simulated marksmanship task modeled after Olympic Trap Shooting standards. We m...

A Study of Reading Strategies Using Task-Based Strategy Assessment*

In the present study, an exploratory approach (Oxford, Cho, Leung & Kim, 2004) to language learning is adopted which holds that the number and type of strategies used by Iranian learners might vary with respect to the difficulty of task and their L2 proficiency. In this regard, the term task is defined, its leading dimentions and charecteristics are put forward, and the nature of learning start...

Effects of etiquette strategy on human-robot interaction in a simulated medicine delivery task

The objective of this study was to examine the extent to which a model of linguistic etiquette in human– human interaction could be applied to human–robot interaction (HRI) domain, and how different etiquette strategies proposed through the model might influence performance of humans and robots as mediated by manipulations of robot physical features, in a simulated medicine delivery task. A “wi...

Executive Attention and Action Selection in a Neurally Controlled Simulated Robot Executive Attention, Task Selection and Attention-based Learning in a Neurally Controlled Simulated Robot

We describe the design and implementation of an integrated neural architecture, modelled on human executive attention, which is used to control both automatic (reactive) and willed action selection in a simulated robot. The model, based upon Norman and Shallice’s supervisory attention system, incorporates important features of human attentional control: selection of an intended task over a more...
