What are the effects of experience on subsequent learning? We explored the effects of language-specific word order knowledge on the acquisition of sequential conditional information. Korean and English adults were engaged in a sequence learning task involving three different sets of stimuli: auditory linguistic (nonsense syllables), visual nonlinguistic (nonsense shapes), and auditory non-lingu...

and Christie, 1976). A current debate concerns the explanatory power of various theories, and in particular media richness theory (e.g., Kinney & Dennis, 1994; Markus, 1994). Media richness theory (Daft & Lengel, 1986) has been one of the most cited, yet controversial, theories explaining media choices. In this paper, we attempt to clarify media richness theory by more precisely characterizing ...

We analyze a contrasting dynamical behavior of Gibbs–Shannon and conditional Kullback-Leibler entropies, induced by time-evolution of continuous probability distributions. The question of predominantly purposedependent entropy definition for non-equilibriummodel systems is addressed. The conditional Kullback–Leibler entropy is often believed to properly capture physical features of an asymptoti...

It has long been asserted that in univariate location-scale models, when concerned with inference for either the location or scale parameter, the use of the inverse of the scale parameter as a Bayesian prior yields posterior credible sets which have exactly the correct frequentist confidence set interpretation. This claim dates to at least Peers (1965), and has subsequently been noted by variou...
