Educational neuroscience tries to bridge and education. It combat neuromyths : beliefs that appear grounded in neuroscientific research but are not supported by empirical evidence. One such neuromyth claims matching teaching style students’ preferred learning styles (e.g., visual learning) will lead improved academic outcomes. The only formal way test this meshing hypothesis is finding a statis...

How does imitation occur? How can the motor plans necessary for imitating an action derive from the observation of that action? Imitation may be based on a mechanism directly matching the observed action onto an internal motor representation of that action ("direct matching hypothesis"). To test this hypothesis, normal human participants were asked to observe and imitate a finger movement and t...

Case 1: Choose any x ∈ VI and any y ∈ ∂{x} (by hypothesis, ∂{x} has at least two elements). Let G∗ be the bipartite graph with input set V ∗ I = VI − {x}, output set V ∗ O = VO − {y}, and whose edges are the same as those of G, but with edges incident to either x or y deleted. The bipartite graph G∗ satisfies the hypothesis (1.1), because in Case 1 every proper subsetA ⊂ VI has |∂A| ≥ |A|+1, so...

We present a system that uses machine learning algorithms to combine features that capture various shallow heuristics for the task of recognizing textual entailment. The features quantify several types of matches and mismatches between the test and hypothesis sentences. Matching features represent lexical matching (including synonyms and related words), part-ofspeech matching and matching of gr...
