depression disorders are associated with serious dysfunction and depressive symptoms. cognitive slowing is a clear symptom observed in all depressed people. pvsat is a measure of cognitive function that specifically assesses visual information processing speed and flexibility, as well as calculation ability. the aim of the present study was to determine whether the paced visual serial addition ...

Self-paced learning and hard example mining re-weight training instances to improve learning accuracy. This paper presents two improved alternatives based on lightweight estimates of sample uncertainty in stochastic gradient descent (SGD): the variance in predicted probability of the correct class across iterations of minibatch SGD, and the proximity of the correct class probability to the deci...

A study combining artificial grammar and sentence comprehension methods investigated the learning and online use of probabilistic, nonadjacent combinatorial constraints. Participants learned a small artificial language describing cartoon monsters acting on objects. Self-paced reading of sentences in the artificial language revealed comprehenders' sensitivity to nonadjacent combinatorial constra...

The paper covers the topic from an e-learning provider’s perspective on the basis of practical experience and discussions with corporate and SME partners. In this paper the author argues that blended learning is superfluous as a pedagogical concept. Its true context is company politics and the conflict between different factions involved in human resource development. Blended learning is a poli...
