We present a connectionist model of concept learning that integrates prototype and exemplar effects and reconciles apparently conflicting findings on the development of these effects. Using sibling-descendant cascade-correlation networks, we found that prototype effects were more prominent at the beginning of training and decreased with further training. In contrast, exemplar effects steadily i...

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...

Associative neural networks are regaining the popularity due to their recent successful application to the problem of real-time memorization and recognition in video. This paper presents a comparative overview of several most popular models of these networks, such as those learnt by the Projective Learning rules and having Sparse architecture, and introduces an Open Source Associative Neural Ne...

This study aimed to determine the implementation of memorizing Al-Qur'an at MAN 2 Palembang. The type qualitative writing approach used in this uses a descriptive approach, meaning that data collected is not form numbers but instead interview scripts, field notes, and pictures. authors use collection methods like observation, interviews, documentation obtain accurate data. analysis by writer re...

Five experiments evaluated the contributions of rule, exemplar, fragment, and episodic knowledge in artificial grammar learning using memorization versus hypothesis-testing training tasks. Strings of letters were generated from a biconditional grammar that allows different sources of responding to be unconfounded. There was no evidence that memorization led to passive abstraction of rules or en...

Using the criteria defined by Hasher and Zacks [Hasher, L., & Zacks, R. T. (1979). Automatic and effortful processes in memory. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 108(3), 356-388], three studies examined the effects of intent of memorization, dual task interference, old age, practice and individual differences on memory for egocentric positions. Results showed that dual task interfere...
