Diminishing Return in Transfer: A PRIM Model of the Frensch (1991) Arithmetic Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
It is generally believed that transfer decreases with expertise. Several existing models explain this by different forms of chunking, but each is specific to a particular task. The new PRIM theory of cognitive skill transfer allows a more generalized approach to study this phenomenon. To demonstrate this, I present a model of the Frensch (1991) experiment of transfer that explains why a short training period does not differentiate between three types of training in terms of the amount of transfer, but a longer training period does.

Spontaneously spotting and applying shortcuts in arithmetic—a primary school perspective on expertise
One crucial feature of expertise is the ability to spontaneously recognize where and when knowledge can be applied to simplify task processing. Mental arithmetic is one domain in which people should start to develop such expert knowledge in primary school by integrating conceptual knowledge about mathematical principles and procedural knowledge about shortcuts. If successful, knowledge integrat...
متن کاملA Numerical Modeling for Natural Convection Heat Transfer in Porous Media With Generated Internal Heat Sources
In this paper a numerical method is used to study the unsteady state natural convection heat transfer within a confined porous media with uniform internal heat generation. The governing equations based on the Darcy model and Bossiness approximations are solved, using the finite difference Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method. The developed program was used to simulate natural convection ...

Introduction: Mental arithmetic analysis based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal for monitoring the state of the user’s brain functioning can be helpful for understanding some psychological disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or dyscalculia where the difficulty in learning or understanding the arithmetic exists. Most mental arithmetic recogni...
متن کاملFostering Formal Commutativity Knowledge with Approximate Arithmetic
How can we enhance the understanding of abstract mathematical principles in elementary school? Different studies found out that nonsymbolic estimation could foster subsequent exact number processing and simple arithmetic. Taking the commutativity principle as a test case, we investigated if the approximate calculation of symbolic commutative quantities can also alter the access to procedural an...
