A new measure of selective attention was presented to 259 normal volunteers. The test was derived from earlier work which emphasized the importance of controlling the distracting conditions using a selective-attention paradigm. In the present study a paper-and-pencil, digit-cancellation format was introduced and the data documented a significant dissociation between tasks analogous to controlle...

Abstract. The main purpose of this study was to examine the predictive validity system used for ab initio selection candidates a bachelor program in aviation. includes paper-and-pencil tests, computer-based and an interview. A total 188 participated validation study. test score predicted results three exams aviation theory ( r = .27–.38) extra flying hours needed (−.22), but not mean university...

A fundamental problem in concurrent system design is to identify flexible programming disciplines under which weak memory models provide sequential consistency. For x86-TSO, a suitable reduction theorem for threads that communicate only through shared memory was given by Cohen and Schirmer [5]. However, this theorem cannot handle programs that edit their own page tables (e.g. memory mangers, hy...

Computer assisted traditional animation has gained a lot of attention nowadays. Although most existing software applications turn out to produce appealing results, still the animator has to cope with many limitations. So far, animators have to make great efforts when interacting with the software. Most drawings consist out of curves which only can be manipulated by pointing, clicking and draggi...

Modern education is hard to imagine without the use of e-learning tools, but still the transition from traditional “paper-and-pencil” examining to electronic exams is to some extent cautious. Although course administration and exam evaluation are much easier with learning management systems, there are concerns among teaching staff, that electronic tests simplify examination process compared to ...

BACKGROUND "Paper and pencil" neuropsychological tests play an important role in the management of sports related concussions. They provide objective information on the athlete's cognitive function and thus facilitate decisions on safe return to sport. It has been proposed that computerised cognitive tests have many advantages over such conventional tests, but their role in this domain is yet t...
