The role of oral corrective feedback has been investigated by SLA researchers from various perspectives. Focusing on Iranian EFL context, the present study aimed to explore the role of receiving corrective feedback in the learning of English grammatical structures. It also probed the association between the type of corrective feedback and EFL learners’ learning styles. This was an experimental ...

Artificial neural networks are most commonly trained with the back-propagation algorithm, where the gradient for learning is provided by back-propagating the error, layer by layer, from the output layer to the hidden layers. A recently discovered method called feedback-alignment shows that the weights used for propagating the error backward don’t have to be symmetric with the weights used for p...

This study attempted to compare corrected linguistic errors in foreign language classrooms and all errors occurring in these classes to see which types of errors are more attended to by teachers in relation to their occurrence in classes. For this purpose, 69 hours of the classes of 34 teachers teaching in different language schools were recorded and the errors corrected by these teachers were ...

-By the onset of reaching, young infants are already able to keep track of the position of their han by using visual feedback from the target and proprioceptive feedback from the arm. How is this multimodal coordination achieved? We propose that infants learn to coordinate vision and proprioception by using tactile feedback from the target. In order to evaluate this hypothesis, we employ an evo...

Adaptive human behavior depends on the capacity to adjust cognitive processing after an error. Here we show that transcranial direct current stimulation of medial-frontal cortex provides causal control over the electrophysiological responses of the human brain to errors and feedback. Using one direction of current flow, we eliminated performance-monitoring activity, reduced behavioral adjustmen...

the aim of this study was to determine the interactional effects of various video shows (skilled and self-model) and feedback type on performance and learning of dart throwing skill. 90 volunteers were randomly divided into 6 groups including self-control, experimenter control and yoked feedback that received either skilled model or self-model. three groups who watched the skilled model observe...
