Devine, Kevin; Chang, Yi-hsiang Isaac; Klitzing, Gunnar – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
Recent developments in Virtual Reality (VR) technology has prompted the manufacturing industry and software vendors to investigate VR's potential for process enhancement. In this paper, we present a study to investigate whether using VR could reduce an individual's cognitive workload during the process of programming an industrial robot. The…

Stites, Mallory C.; Federmeier, Kara D.; Stine-Morrow, Elizabeth A. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Eye tracking was used to investigate how younger and older (60 or more years) adults use syntactic and semantic information to disambiguate noun/verb (NV) homographs (e.g., "park"). In event-related potential (ERP) work using the same materials, Lee and Federmeier (2009, 2011) found that young adults elicited a sustained frontal…

Keating, Gregory D. – Language Teaching Research, 2008
This study tests the claim that word learning and retention in a second language are contingent upon a task's involvement load (i.e. the amount of need, search, and evaluation it imposes), as proposed by Laufer and Hulstijn (2001). Seventy-nine beginning learners of Spanish completed one of three vocabulary learning tasks that varied in the amount…

Goodwin, M. M.; Califf, M. E. – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2007
Workload has been found to be a major course-related factor that affects student dropout rates. A heavy workload combined with a lack of time can create problems for students with courses that, by their very nature, require extensive work outside of class time. One such course is the second-semester programming course at Illinois State University…

Radinsky, Josh; Lawless, Kimberly; Smolin, Louanne Ione; Newman, Mark – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2005
The Teachers Infusing Technology in Urban Schools project (TITUS) at the University of Illinois at Chicago is developing an approach for addressing the shortage of opportunities for teacher candidates to experience technology being used effectively in high-need urban schools in the course of their field experiences. Beyond recruiting mentor…
