Teaching word processing – the practice

The pipeline. Scientific teaching in practice.

On the nonautomaticity of visual word processing: electrophysiological evidence that word processing requires central attention.

The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to determine the degree to which people can process words while devoting central attention to another task. Experiments 1-4 measured the N400 effect, which is sensitive to the degree of mismatch between a word and the current semantic context. Experiment 5 measured the P3 difference between low- and high-frequency words. Because these effec...

Teaching Algorithmics – Theory and Practice

Efficient algorithms and data structures are important fundamentals of all sophisticated computer applications. For that reason, these topics are included in Computer Science and Business Informatics curricula at almost all universities. Indeed, the classic textbooks present algorithms mainly as pure mathematical results [3]. They leave the challenges of their implementation to the readers. On ...

Teaching Signal Processing to the Medical Profession

Knowledge of signal processing is very important for medical students. A medical signal may be used for monitoring, constructing an image, or for extracting the numerical quantity of a parameter. This information forms a basis for medical decisions. However, the processing of the signal may lead to distortion and an incorrect interpretation. The present article describes an educational practica...
