In this note, we prove a tight lower bound on the joint entropy of n unbiased Bernoulli random variables which are n/2-wise independent. For general k-wise independence, we give new lower bounds by adapting Navon and Samorodnitsky’s Fourier proof of the ‘LP bound’ on error correcting codes. This counts as partial progress on a problem asked by Gavinsky and Pudlák in [3].

this article reports on the findings of a study that investigated the impact of manipulating task performance conditions on listening task performance by learners of english as a foreign language (efl). the study was designed to explore the effects of changing complexity dimensions on listening task performance and to achieve two aims: to see how listening comprehension task performance was aff...

UNLABELLED People perceive meaningful wholes and later separate out constituent parts (D. Navon, 1977). Yet there are cross-national differences in whether a focal target or integrated whole is first perceived. Rather than construe these differences as fixed, the proposed culture-as-situated-cognition model explains these differences as due to whether a collective or individual mind-set is cued...
