To correct or to cooperate: Mediational processes and L2 development

To Cooperate or Not to Cooperate

: examining l2 teachers’ corrective feedback types in relation to learners’ uptake, proficiency levels, and context types

abstract this study investigates the teachers’ correction of students’ spoken errors of linguistic forms in efl classes, aiming at (a) examining the relationship between the learners’ proficiency level and the provision of corrective feedback types, (b) exploring the extent to which teachers’ use of different corrective feedback types is related to the immediate types of context in which err...

To Cooperate or Not to Cooperate: Why Behavioural Mechanisms Matter

Mutualistic cooperation often requires multiple individuals to behave in a coordinated fashion. Hence, while the evolutionary stability of mutualistic cooperation poses no particular theoretical difficulty, its evolutionary emergence faces a chicken and egg problem: an individual cannot benefit from cooperating unless other individuals already do so. Here, we use evolutionary robotic simulation...

Spectrum Sensing: To Cooperate or Not to Cooperate?

While it is well accepted that cooperative spectrum sensing will significantly improve the sensing performance, the necessity of cooperation is not sufficiently appreciated. In this paper, by analyzing the spectrum sensing problem from the system perspective, we show that without cooperation, the performance will suffer from a fundamental tradeoff between reliability and efficiency. However, if...
