This paper follows on from a group of internationally published papers in the area of investigating anthropomorphic user interface feedback. In this paper an experiment is described which aims to examine the effectiveness and user approval issues of anthropomorphic versus non-anthropomorphic user interface feedback. This experiment is highly relevant to the research community as Computer Scient...

this research explores the effects of three computer-mediated feedback modalities, that is, elicitation, recast, and meta-linguistics, on the learning of english participial, gerund, and infinitival phrases among iranian intermediate-level efl learners. the overriding focus of the present study was to investigate whether different types of feedback given through form-focused computer-human exch...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of the type of feedback and practice on the acquisition of parameter index. for this purpose, 8 groups (each 12 subjects) were formed: constant practice group with self–controlled feedback, constant practice group with yoked feedback (yoked group), blocked practice group with self–controlled feedback, blocked practice group with yoked feedback, rando...

The Clairvoyance team participated in the HARD Track, submitting fifteen runs. Our experiments focused primarily on exploiting user feedback through clarification forms for query expansion. We made limited use of the genre and related text metadata. Within the clarification form feedback framework, we explored the cluster hypothesis in the context of relevance feedback. The cluster hypothesis s...

The Open University is always keen to develop ways of enhancing feedback to students, since comments on assignments are a key aspect of the distance tuition process. Students traditionally receive detailed written feedback on their assignment scripts in the form of annotations and corrections as well as separate written comments summarising their overall performance. For foreign language speaki...

A match-mismatch test was conducted to test the transtheoretical model applied to fruit intake. Precontemplators and contemplators were randomly assigned to receive a web-based individualized precontemplation feedback (PCF), contemplation feedback (CF) or action feedback (AF) letter promoting fruit intake. Immediately and 1 week after reading this letter, post-test measures were obtained. Fruit...

Standard models of the visual object recognition pathway hold that a largely feedforward process from the retina through inferotemporal cortex leads to object identification. A subsequent feedback process originating in frontoparietal areas through reciprocal connections to striate cortex provides attentional support to salient or behaviorally-relevant features. Here, we review mounting evidenc...

Relevance feedback methods for content-based image retrieval have shown promise in a variety of image database applications. These techniques assume two-class relevance feedback: relevant and irrelevant classes. While simple computationally, two-class relevance feedback often becomes inadequate in providing sufficient information to help rapidly improve retrieval performance. In this paper we p...
