Learning- and memory-related processes are thought to result from dynamic interactions in large-scale brain networks that include lateral and mesial structures of the temporal lobes. We investigate the impact of incidental and intentional learning of verbal episodic material on functional brain networks that we derive from scalp-EEG recorded continuously from 33 subjects during a neuropsycholog...

Despite the fact that categories are often composed of correlated features, the evidence that people detect and use these correlations during intentional category learning has been overwhelmingly negative to date. Nonetheless, on other categorization tasks such as feature prediction, people show evidence of correlational sensitivity. A conventional explanation holds that category learning tasks...

A basic claim of this paper is that the foundational theoretical problem of the social sciences the possibility of unconscious, unplanned forms of cooperation and intelligence among intentional agents (the very hard issue of the ‘invisible hand’, of the ‘spontaneous social order’ but also of ‘social functions’)will eventually be clarified thanks to the contribution of AI (and in particular of c...

 To improve student learning by deepening the learning experience to emphasise intentional `learning to learn’, so enabling students to become selfdirected learners.  To support staff as they evolve conceptions and practices in teaching and learning that are enquiry-based, and to map lines of development between current and more enquiry-based practice.  To enhance knowledge of how to transfe...

Most of the words in a person‘s vocabulary are acquired during the course of natural reading, through a process called incidental word learning. Incidental word learning is mediated by a number of factors concerning word, context, and reader characteristics. The current study investigated the effects of one such factor, context length, using a combination of word learning and eye-tracking metho...

In order to be able to cope with many authentic challenges in increasingly networked and technologically mediated life we need to construct opportunities for participants in higher educational settings to practice the advancement of self-directing intentional learning projects. In addition to teaching general strategies for carrying out these projects more emphasis should be put on acquiring so...
