Previous research shows that sensory and motor systems interact during verb perception, and that these interactions are formed through self-generated actions that refer to verb labels during development. Here we expand on these findings by investigating whether self-generated actions lead to sensori-motor interaction during sound perception and visual perception. The current research exposes yo...

The computer vision community provides a large amount of object recognition approaches which are mostly based on prior knowledge, either in the form of algorithm choices or image databases. In contrast, our algorithm is designed by analogy with the human perceptual learning in terms of input data and learning organisation. It does not require image databases nor face/skin detectors, and allows ...

Background: Educational environments are an integral part of the development of educational programs. Therefore, to improve the quality of clinical education environment, its status should always be evaluated. The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of teaching environment and learning the aids of cardiology residents of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. Materials and...

INTRODUCTION Learning is related to knowledge that is shared between teacher and students. Whatever the use of traditional or modern teaching-learning methods, the students learn: they have access to new information and can therefore acquire or modify knowledge stored in memory. The goal of this opinion paper is to present what we know about the consequences of this internal change and how this...

An inability to process auditory information, especially speech, characterizes many children with learning and attention problems. Our working hypothesis is that these speech-sound perception problems arise, at least in some cases, from faulty representation of the speech signal in central auditory centers. Preconscious neurophysiologic representation of sound structure by central auditory path...

A theory of prospective time perception is introduced and incorporated as a module in an integrated theory of cognition, thereby extending existing theories and allowing predictions about attention and learning. First, a time perception module is established by fitting existing datasets (interval estimation and bisection and impact of secondary tasks on attention). The authors subsequently used...
