This paper discusses evaluation of hypermedia-based learning environments mainly from the point of view of the learner or student. The evaluation of a learning environment should be based on modern learning theories. These emphasise the importance of constructivism and the learner's activity in building mental models of the mathematical knowledge. The environment should also support conversatio...

This paper suggests an approach to consciousness that focuses on the evolutionary transition from pre-conscious animals to the simplest types of conscious (experiencing) animals. Our argument is that experiencing originated with the evolution of associative learning, and that one of the major functions of experiencing was what William James called ‘fighting for ends’: endowing animals with moti...

Intention-oriented process mining is based on the belief that the fundamental nature of processes is mostly intentional (unlike activity-oriented process) and aims at discovering strategy and intentional process models from event-logs recorded during the process enactment. In this paper, we present an application of intention-oriented process mining for the domain of incident management of an I...

The present study aimed at providing a plausible answer for the controversy whether organizational source or associative source could be encoded in a more automatic manner through incidental learning. In the experiment, subjects were asked to learn organizational and associative sources under incidental or intentional learning conditions. It turned out that only associative source accuracy incr...

The present study investigated the effect of performing an intentional non-meaningful hand movement on subsequent lexical acquisition and retrieval in healthy adults. Twenty-five right-handed healthy individuals were required to learn the names (2-syllable legal nonwords) for a series of unfamiliar objects. Participants also completed a familiar picture naming task to investigate the effects of...
