In education, finding the appropriate learning pace that fits to the members of a large group is a challenging task. This becomes especially evident when teaching multidisciplinary subjects such as epidemiology in medicine or computer science in most study programs, since lecturers have to face a very heterogeneous state of previous knowledge. Approaching this issue requires an individual super...

Word properties like imageability and word frequency improve cued recall of verbal paired-associates. We asked whether these enhancements follow simply from prior effects on item-memory, or also strengthen associations between items. Participants studied word pairs varying in imageability or frequency: pairs were ‘‘pure” (high–high, low–low) or ‘‘mixed” (high–low, low–high) where ‘‘high” and ‘‘...

More importantly, we investigated whether learning parts also reveals holistic effects. This has not been attempted...

The current approaches to construct a multi-criteria model based on a Choquet integral are split into two separate steps: construct first the utility functions and then the aggregation function. Unfortunately, the decision maker may feel some difficulties in addressing these tricky steps. In this paper, we propose a preference learning algorithm that constructs both the utility functions and th...
