The incidental learning paradigm has provided two well-established findings concerning the development of selective attention: (a) The difference between central and incidental task performance increases with age, and (b) the correlation between central and incidental performance decreases with age. It has generally been assumed that these results reflect a developmental increase in the ability...

Abstract This longitudinal study investigates the effect of mode reading on incidental learning collocations and factors that affect learning. One hundred Vietnamese pre-intermediate learners English as a foreign language (EFL) were assigned to either an experimental group or control (no treatment). In 9 weeks, read three graded readers containing 32 target in counterbalanced modes: reading-onl...

We conducted interviews of a representative sample of 106 retired fishers in Italy, Spain and Greece, asking specific questions about the trends they perceived in dolphin and shark abundances between 1940 and 1999 (in three 20 year periods) compared to the present abundance. The large marine fauna studied were not target species of the commercial fleet segment interviewed (trawl fishery). The f...

It is still unclear, whether patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are impaired in the incidental learning of different motor sequences in short succession, although such a deficit might greatly impact their daily life. The aim of this study was thus to clarify the relation between disease parameters of PD and incidental motor learning of two different sequences in short succession. Results re...
