With the developments of new technologies appearing very quickly, the attention has been focused more on technology than learning. English centers and institutes have mostly been busy accommodating new programs and technologies and hence have not spent enough time to evaluate the CALL programs and technologies employed to find their affordances and limitations. The present study was an attempt ...

In this paper, we propose a flexible modeling framework for studying the role of perception in language learning and language evolution. This is achieved by augmenting some novel and some existing evolutionary signaling game models with existing techniques in machine learning and cognitive science. The result is a “grounded” signaling game in which agents must extract relevant information from ...

Current neurobiological models of odor perception tend to emphasize the “bottom-up” contributions of odorant chemistry in determining the perceptual features of an odor. However, increasing research suggests that “topdown” effects related to learning and experience play equally important roles in human olfactory perception, implying that a given set of olfactory receptors activated by an odoran...

PURPOSE Although problem-based learning (PBL) has been popularized in many colleges, few studies have analyzed the relationship between individual differences and PBL. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between learning style and the perception on the effects of PBL. METHODS Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scales was used to assess the learning styles of 38 stud...
