We parsimoniously model the effect of proactive interference and memorization effort in learning stable graphical layouts. We model the visual search cost, i.e. the number of distractors visually encoded while looking for a target item, as a reasonable surrogate of onscreen proactive interference. Further, we show that a novel quantity that we term “effort factor” is an acceptable estimate for ...

Most of the studies on the key word method of second/foreign language vocabulary learning have been based on the evidence from laboratory experiments and have primarily involved the use of English key words to learn the vocabularies of other languages. Furthermore, comparatively quite limited number of such studies is done in authentic classroom contexts. The present study inquired into the eff...

We consider the fundamental complexity of intelligent systems, and argue that some form of learning is essential in order to acquire the amount of information necessary to specify such a system. In this view, learning is essentially a means of acquiring large amounts of structured information by relatively simple recoding of information owing down high-bandwidth channels (the senses) from a pre...
