Understanding the process of adult language learning has recently undergone advances due to the consideration of how individual differences (IDs) in cognitive processing, such as working memory (WM), affect acquisition. We know that implicit versus explicit learning conditions also influence learning, however, the potential interactions between IDs, the efficacy of implicit versus explicit lear...

This review surveys research on second language vocabulary teaching and learning since1999. It first considers the distinction between incidental and intentional vocabulary learning.Although learners certainly acquire word knowledge incidentally while engaged in variouslanguage learning activities, more direct and systematic study of vocabulary is also required.There is a discussion of how word...

background: to determine the prevalence of incidental findings on brain ct scan in mild head trauma patients. methods: from november 2005 to april 2006, we evaluated 732 ct scans of cases with mild head trauma (glasgow coma scale score of thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen), whom referred to our university affiliated hospital. in this study, we evaluated incidental findings on brain ct of our pati...

the present study investigated the effect of marginal glosses (both l1 and l2) on incidental vocabulary learning of efl learners. the subject pool consisted of 154 third-semester iranian students enrolled at azad university, central branch. after administering a proficiency test, 90 homogeneous students were assigned to two experimental groups (x1 & x2) and one control group. afterwards, a 50 -...

Ideomotor theory proposes that goal-directed action emerges from the implicit, incidental acquisition of bi-directional associations between actions and their outcomes. In line with this idea, a simple two-stage priming paradigm has provided evidence that presentation of outcomes primes previously associated actions. In the current study we compare the standard priming paradigm with two actions...

BACKGROUND As thousands of healthy research participants are being included in small and large imaging studies, it is essential that dilemmas raised by the detection of incidental findings are adequately handled. Current ethical guidance indicates that pathways for dealing with incidental findings should be in place, but does not specify what such pathways should look like. Building on an inter...

Deficits in sequential motor learning have been observed in many patient populations. Having an understanding of the individual neural progression associated with sequential learning in healthy individuals may provide valuable insights for effective interventions with these patients. Due to individual variability in motor skill acquisition, the temporal course of such learning will be vary, sug...

With failed replications on various topics getting published these days, we were pleased that Landy and Goodwin's (2015, this issue) meta-analysis supported most of the findings we reported in Schnall, Haidt, Clore, and Jordan (2008). They focused on what Pizarro, Inbar and Helion (2011) had termed the amplification hypothesis of Haidt's (2001) social intuitionist model of moral judgment, namel...
