objective : the major objective of this study was to determine the means and 95% confidence interval of normal 6 years old children's motor-verbal skills. based on the results of this study we could develop a measure to diagnose abnormal motor skills. in addition, in this follow-up study, we compared the first-graders' motor-verbal skills to their own skills one year earlier. method: ...

The authors investigated two retrieval-monitoring processes. Subjects studied red words and pictures and then decided whether test words had been studied in red font (red word test) or as pictures (picture test). Memory confusions were lower on the picture test than on the red word test, implicating a distinctiveness heuristic. Memory confusions also were lower when study formats were mutually ...

In this paper, a novel Out-of-Vocabulary (OOV) word detection method relying on phoneme-level acoustic measures and Support Vector Machines (SVM) is proposed. Word level OOV scores are computed from the phoneme level in-vocabulary (IV) and OOV information provided by an HMM based speech recognizer. The OOV word decision is based on the confidence feature vector which is processed by a SVM class...
