Interlanguage pragmatics (ILP) has witnessed a growing body of research in the past two decades. One of the under-explored domains of L2 pragmatics is the role of learning strategies specifically tailored for the development of ILP knowledge. Therefore, this investigation aimed to determine the significant interlanguage pragmatic learning strategies (IPLS) used by high vs. low L2 pragmatic achi...

Although data compression can benefit flash memory lifetime, little work has been done to rigorously study the full potential of exploiting data compressibility to improve memory lifetime. This work attempts to fill this missing link. Motivated by the fact that memory cell damage strongly depends on the data content being stored, we first propose an implicit data compression approach (i.e., com...

We use replicator dynamics to study an iterated prisoners’ dilemma game with memory. In this study, we investigate the characteristics of all 32 possible strategies with a single-step memory by observing the results when each strategy encounters another one. Based on these results, we define similarity measures between the 32 strategies and perform a network analysis of the relationship between...

The present study was conducted to investigate whether there was a relationship between EFL learners’ use of language learning strategies and their self-perceived language proficiency at the two levels of intermediate and advanced. A total of 67 subjects (39 intermediate-level and 28 advanced) were selected to participate in this study based on their scores on a piloted language proficiency tes...

introduction: this study aims to compare the cognitive performance of patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) in the field of autobiographical, prospective and working memory compared to normal people. method: in a causal-comparative study using convenience sampling 200 patients with ms (100 were affected less and 100 were affected more than 2 years (and 100 healthy individuals were matched regar...

In the field of emotion research, the influence of emotion regulation strategies on memory with emotional materials has been widely discussed in recent years. However, existing studies have focused exclusively on regulating negative emotion but not positive emotion. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the influence of emotion regulation strategies for positive emotion on memory. On...

This paper examines capacity limits in mental animation of static diagrams of mechanical systems and interprets these limits within current theories of working memory. I review empirical studies of mental animation that examined (1) the relation of spatial ability to mental animation (2) the effects of working memory loads on mental animation, (3) use of external memory in mental animation and ...

We show that the history of play in a population game contains exploitable information that can be successfully used by sophisticated strategies to defeat memory-one opponents, including zero determinant strategies. The history allows a player to label opponents by their strategies, enabling a player to determine the population distribution and to act differentially based on the opponent's stra...

We investigated the spatial genetic structure of the tiger meta-population in the Satpura-Maikal landscape of central India using population- and individual-based genetic clustering methods on multilocus genotypic data from 273 individuals. The Satpura-Maikal landscape is classified as a global-priority Tiger Conservation Landscape (TCL) due to its potential for providing sufficient habitat tha...
