Horton DM, Wiederman SD, Saint DA. Assessment outcome is weakly correlated with lecture attendance: influence of learning style and use of alternative materials. Adv Physiol Educ 36: 108–115, 2012; doi:10.1152/advan.00111.2011.—The relation between lecture attendance and learning is surprisingly weak, and the role of learning styles in this is poorly understood. We hypothesized that 1) academic...

Background: In the face of severe faculty shortages in constrained countries' resource-, electronic learning (elearning) was providing the chance for improving access to nursing education. Utilization of elearning can result in greater educational opportunities for students, and enhancing faculty effectiveness and efficiency. Learning styles could be unique to every individual. Therefore, it is...

In recent years, foreign language education has been focussing on learning styles. However, despite the quantity of articles and practice books, websites on the topic, and investment in teacher training, there is no empirical evidence for the existence of learning styles. Furthermore, if one agrees that it is the brain that learns, there should be indicators in the brain for the existence of le...

individuals act differently in learning, this being due to the difference in learning styles of persons. learning styles affect optimum learning and the efficiency in educational output. therefore an identification of the learning styles of learners as related to teaching and learning activities is most important. the purpose of this study was to investigate the learning styles of agricultural ...

The Alparon project aims to improve Vxos, Openbaar Vervoer Reisinformatie's (OVa) automated speech processing system for public transport information, by using a corpus-based approach. The shortcomings of the current system have been investigated, and a study is made of how dialogues in the OVR domain usually occur between a human operator and a client. While centering our attention on the pres...

Measurement of morphological variation is essential to our understanding of human evolution. At least two classes of statistics can be used to describe variation: (1) statistics such as the variance that measure average dissimilarity (distance), and (2) statistics such as the range of variation that measure maximal dissimilarity. Either kind of measure may be meaningfully employed depending on ...

Mesiodistal and buccolingual crown dimensions of the right deciduous teeth of 133 white children were analyzed for information on sexual dimorphism and sex discrimination using discriminant analysis. Even though consistent differences were found for only 15 out of 20 paired measurements, five of them significant a t p = 0.05 or better, discriminant analysis showed the possibility of correctly s...

The relations between the acoustic parameters of jitter and fundamental frequency and children’s experience with stuttering were explored. Sixty-five children belonging to four talker groups will be studied. Children were categorized as stuttering (CWS) or non-stuttering (CWNS), and were grouped based on their diagnosis of stuttering/not stuttering at two time points in a longitudinal study: pe...
