How deeply a word is processed has long been considered as a crucial factor in the realm of vocabulary acquisition. In literature, two frameworks have been proposed to operationalize the depth of processing, namely the Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) and the Technique Feature Analysis (TFA). However, they differ in the way they have operationalized it specially in terms of their attentional c...

Life long learning is one of the three basic axes on which Greece bases all of its efforts to upgrade Greek reality in all levels, such as the financial, the social and the cultural in both terms of quantity and quality. To win the bet of adult education in the country, all possible ways of delivering educational and training services should be explored and used. Distance learning has to be use...

Domestic chickens are an established model organism for studies on learning and memory. Commonly, the chicks are used as subjects in several different learning tests, including one trial learning tests. However, for adult laying hens no such one trial learning tests have been established. In particular, there is no test established which focuses on the role of the hippocampus, a brain region, w...

Avian song learning is an important model system for understanding vocal learning in humans and other animals. Laboratory studies indicate that social interactions are critical for song learning, but field observations show that territorial males are aggressive to intruders, raising the question of whether young birds are tolerated, much less tutored in the wild. We examined how adult song spar...

The Role of SGZ Neurogenesis in Hippocampal Dependent Learning and Memory Brittany Potz Advances in technology have allowed for the discovery of adult neurogenesis inthe human brain. Adult neurogenesis is found only in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone (SGZ) in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampal formation. There are two types of progenitors found in the SGZ and their g...

this study investigated the manifestation of bloom’s revised taxonomy (brt) in two series of young and adult teaching persian to speakers of other languages (tpsol) textbooks. to this end, the contents of the textbooks were analyzed based on a coding scheme. the results showed statistically significant differences between the different volumes of young learners’ series and between the two serie...

Informal and incidental learning is at the heart of adult education because of its learner-centered focus and the lessons that can be learned from life experience. But learning from experience is so broad that everything from Outward Bound activities to structured computer simulations is included in the definition. In this chapter we define informal and incidental learning and look at questions...
