objectives: the role of cognitive process for postural control was shown in dual task studies. however, there was no definite evidence how verbal instructions influence the allocation of attention to postural control. this study determined whether young and elderly adult are able to deliberately control the resource allocation when performing a sensorimotor and cognitive task simultaneously and...

Modern microprocessors schedule instructions dynamically in order to exploit instruction level parallelism. It is necessary to increase instruction window size for improving instruction scheduling capability. However, it is di cult to increase the size without any serious impact on processor performance, since the instruction window is one of the dominant deciding processor cycle time. The reas...

Abstract This study aimed to shed light on young Iranian EFL students’ oral proficiency improvement through explicit instruction of formulaic sequences (FSs). This pretest-posttest quasi experimental study was conducted in a bilingual school in Shahrekord, Iran. Accordingly, based on ACTFL OPI test, two groups of low intermediate students with age range of 11 to 12 were chosen to be assigned as...

Whenever we extend the instruction set of an interpreter, we risk increased instruction cache miss penalties. We can alleviate this problem by selecting instructions from the instruction set and re-arranging them such that frequent instruction sequences are co-located in memory. We take these frequent instruction sequences from hot program traces of external programs and we report a maximum spe...

This study has aimed to compare the effects of two types of form-focused instruction, i.e. de-contextualized focus-on-forms instruction versus meaning-centered contextualized focus-on-form instruction, on the development of grammatical knowledge of Iranian high-school students. Two groups of male high-school first graders participated in this study.  One group was taught through de-contextualiz...
