One of indicators that marked individual differences in Second Language Acquisition is learning style. Individuals have been cognitively described as field independent and dependent, according to whether they approach things details or holistically. However, there not enough study discusses the relationship between independence-dependence success language learning. This aims explore influence o...

With the exponential expansion of information availability on the Internet, users are locating needed information through search engines and relying on heuristics and trial-and-error to find what they need. This paper proposes a Meta-cognitive, Systems-based, Information Structuring (McSIS) model to systematize users’ information search behavior. The General Systems Theory’s (GST) prepositions,...

We investigate the notion of independence, which is at the basis of many, seemingly unrelated, properties of logics, like the Rational Monotony rule of nonmonotonic logics, but also of interpolation theorems of monotonic and nonmonotonic logic. We show a strong connection between independence and certain rules about multiplication of abstract size in the field of nonmonotonic logic. We think th...
