recruitment of human resources has a critical importance as the most important and essential asset of a knowledge-based organization. the process of resourcing and recruitment has to be compatible with the characteristics of a knowledge-based organization and conditions of competitive markets in this regard. in this paper, which is the result of an applied developmental study, the process of re...

Although mind wandering occupies a large proportion of our waking life, its neural basis and relation to ongoing behavior remain controversial. We report an fMRI study that used experience sampling to provide an online measure of mind wandering during a concurrent task. Analyses focused on the interval of time immediately preceding experience sampling probes demonstrate activation of default ne...

This study examines whether differences in late-life well-being are linked to how older adults encode emotionally valenced information. Using fMRI with 39 older adults varying in life satisfaction, we examined how viewing positive and negative images would affect activation and connectivity of an emotion-processing network. Participants engaged most regions within this network more robustly for...

the critical role and effect of teacher assessment in elt has been ratified by researchers among whom are darling-hammond (2000); knox (2002); bailey (2006); davison & cummins (2007); and blum (2009).taking this issue into account, this exploratory study seeks to investigate the underlying criteria of both recruiting and assessing in-service efl teachers in private language institutes of ir...

it is of no doubt that social media sites have become the most dominated subject in today life. however, the effect of those websites has widely disseminated not only into social life but into the business world as well. recruitment is one of the topics that have influence by social networking sites. previous studies have shown growing use of social networking sites such as facebook, twitter an...

In 2008, the Children’s Bureau published a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) for Diligent Recruitment of Families for Children in the Foster Care System. This announcement identified a need for the development and implementation of national adoption and foster care strategies, data systems, interventions, and training and technical assistance to address the fact that “in 22 States, [there ...

Motor-skill learning can be accompanied by both increases and decreases in brain activity. Increases may indicate neural recruitment, while decreases may imply that a region became unimportant or developed a more efficient representation of the skill. These overlapping mechanisms make interpreting learning-related changes of spatially averaged activity difficult. Here we show that motor-skill a...

Recent findings have revealed age-related changes in neural recruitment during the processing of emotional information. The present study examined whether these age-related changes would be more pronounced for words, thought to be processed in a controlled manner versus relatively automatically processed pictures. Compared to young adults, older adults showed less amygdala activation, and more ...

We remember a considerable number of personal experiences because we are frequently reminded of them, a process known as memory reactivation. Although memory reactivation helps to stabilize and update memories, reactivation may also introduce distortions if novel information becomes incorporated with memory. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural mec...
