Task order choices in cognitive and perceptual-motor tasks: The cognitive-load-reduction (CLEAR) hypothesis

Effects of cognitive functions on feedback request strategy and learning of a perceptual motor task

Taking individuals' cognitive abilities into consideration can play an important role in the initial stages of learning motor skills. So, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cognitive functions on feedback request strategy and learning of a perceptual motor task. A number of 60 university male students with a mean age of 22/4 years (SD = 1/99) were selected through...

the effect of task cognitive complexity and time limit on the performance of the learners with different proficiency levels in second language writing skill

this study investigated the effects of manipulating the cognitive complexity of tasks along +/- few elements and the time limits on l2 learners writing performance. to conduct the study, 60 iranian efl learners with two levels of proficiency, low and high intermediate, were selected and assigned to three groups based on the time devoted to task completion. the participants performed both a simp...

Voluntary Behavior in Cognitive and Motor Tasks

Many previous treatments of voluntary behavior have viewed intentions as causes of behavior. This has resulted in several dilemmas, including a dilemma concerning the origin of intentions. The present article circumvents traditional dilemmas by treating intentions as constraints that restrict degrees of freedom for behavior. Constraints self-organize as temporary dynamic structures that span th...

Cognitive Load and Web Search Tasks

Assessing cognitive load on web search is useful for characterizing search system features, search tasks and task stages with respect to their demands on the searcher’s mental effort. It is also helpful in examining how individual differences among searchers (e.g. cognitive abilities) affect the search process and its outcomes. We discuss assessment of cognitive load from the perspective of pri...
