Moreover, strategies used for lexical inferencing and text related issues of text density and parts of speech were studied to determine their moderating effects and the best predictors of lexical infe...

متن کاملA connectionist model of category learning by individuals with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder.
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show atypical patterns of learning and generalization. We explored the possible impacts of autism-related neural abnormalities on perceptual category learning using a neural network model of visual cortical processing. When applied to experiments in which children or adults were trained to classify complex two-dimensional images, the model can acc...
متن کاملVariability in the Severity of Developmental Disorders: a Neurocomputational Account of Developmental Regression in Autism
Developmental disorders show wide variations in severity even when, on genetic grounds, it is known that there is a common underlying cause. We use connectionist models of development combined with population modelling techniques to explore possible mechanistic causes of variations in disorder severity. Specifically, we investigate the plausibility of the hypothesis that disorder variability st...
متن کاملProblems Associated with the Use of Communicative Language Teaching in EFL Contexts and Possible Solutions
If the target of foreign language teaching is to use the language, communicative language teaching (CLT) seems to be an ideal teaching model. The goal of teaching with this method is to use the language as a medium of communication (Adi, 2012).The application of the communicative approach in teaching English as a foreign language, however, is associated with some problems that can cause the met...
