In two-stage exams, students complete some academic work individually then immediately the same again in small groups. Prior research shows that perceive dialogue they engage at group stage aids their individual learning. Outcome studies also suggest engaging benefits student This investigation takes a different perspective. Learning during exams is conceptualised as deriving from internal feed...

30 Explicit visual feedback on postural sway is often used in balance assessment and training. However, up31 weighting of visual information may mask impairments of other sensory systems. We therefore aimed to 32 determine whether the effects of somatosensory, vestibular and proprioceptive manipulations on 33 mediolateral balance are reduced by explicit visual feedback on mediolateral sway of t...

An important application of interactive machine learning is extending or amplifying the cognitive and physical capabilities of a human. To accomplish this, machines need to learn about their human users’ intentions and adapt to their preferences. In most current research, a user has conveyed preferences to a machine using explicit corrective or instructive feedback; explicit feedback imposes a ...

Successful object-oriented action typically increases the perceived size of aimed target objects. This phenomenon has been assumed to reflect an impact of an actor's current action ability on visual perception. The actual action ability and the explicit knowledge of action outcome, however, were confounded in previous studies. The present experiments aimed at disentangling these two factors. Pa...

The goal of this thesis is to explore how foreign language learning can be facilitated through the use of intelligent computer-assisted language learning (ICALL) based on natural language processing (NLP) methods. ICALL was provided in the form of a task-based dialog system that gives corrective feedback.We investigated how different parameters of the interaction affect the learning progress. B...

This paper studies the problem of pole assignment for symmetric and Hamiltonian transfer functions. A necessary and sufficient condition for pole assignment by complex symmetric output feedback transformations is given. Moreover, in the case where the McMillan degree coincides with the number of parameters appearing in the symmetric feedback transformations, we derive an explicit combinatorial ...

Adaptive collaborative learning support (ACLS) may be better than fixed forms of support at increasing learning from collaboration. While much existing adaptive assistance has focused on providing explicit feedback directly to the relevant student, we propose a twodimensional design space which explores alternative methods of adaptive assistance that are implicit, indirect, or both. We investig...
