We examined whether words studied in one modality (visual or auditory) would prime performance in the opposite modality in five different perceptual implicit memory tests: auditory perceptual identification, auditory stem completion, visual perceptual identification, visual stem completion, and visual fragment completion. Significant transfer across modality was observed in all five tasks. Howe...

EEGs of extensively screened dyslexics and normal readers were recorded while they read easy and difficult texts silently and orally, and during two other verbal tasks which also differed in overt speaking but had no reading component: narrative speaking and listening to a story. Mid-temporal, central and parietal leads were referenced to linked ears and to Cz. Large differences between tasks a...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of internet communication technologies (ICT) usage and reading literacy of Northeast Asian Students in PISA 2009. ICT was crucial for all governments in the world towards promoting equity. ICT had been considered a low cost opportunity towards equalizing educational systems. A multilevel modeling (MLM) was applied to identify at whic...

UNLABELLED Although using a treadmill workstation may change the sedentary nature of desk jobs, it is unknown if walking while working affects performance on office-work related tasks. PURPOSE To assess differences between seated and walking conditions on motor skills and cognitive function tests. METHODS Eleven males (24.6 +/- 3.5 y) and 9 females (27.0 +/- 3.9 y) completed a test battery ...

Is it advantageous to be strongly lateralized? The current study investigated this question by examining the relationship between visual field asymmetries for lexical tasks and reading performance in a sample of 200 young adults. Larger visual field asymmetries were associated with better reading performance, but this relationship was obtained primarily in those with strong and consistent hand ...

Abstract This paper focus on the problem of task pricing and completion tasks a mobile Internet APP. Based original data set, model project’s was established by using multiple linear regression analysis. The influences factors such as point’s pricing, number other tasks, total price were analysed. Further, based which affecting completion, new developed cluster analysis to tailor some points si...

Working memory is considered a well-established predictor of individual variation in reading comprehension in children and adults. However, how storage and processing capacities of working memory in both the phonological and semantic domain relate to reading comprehension is still unclear. In the current study, we investigated the contribution of phonological and semantic storage, and phonologi...

Task starvation leads to huge variation in the completion times of the tasks posted on to the crowd. The price offered to a given task together with the dynamics of the crowd at the time of posting affect its completion time. Large organizations/requesters who frequent the crowd at regular intervals in order to get their tasks done desire predictability in completion times of the tasks. Thus, s...

Background: Formulaic expressions—conversational speech formulas, idioms, pause fillers, conventional phrases, proverbs, expletives, and so on—constitute on average about 25% proportionally of everyday communication. While some clinical and experimental studies have implicated a right hemisphere involvement, controversy remains surrounding cerebral processing with respect to comprehension and p...
