Selective Attention and Distractor Frequency in Naming Performance: Comment on Dhooge and Hartsuiker (2010)
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Roelofs, Ardi; Piai, Vitoria; Schriefers, Herbert – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
E. Dhooge and R. J. Hartsuiker (2010) reported experiments showing that picture naming takes longer with low- than high-frequency distractor words, replicating M. Miozzo and A. Caramazza (2003). In addition, they showed that this distractor-frequency effect disappears when distractors are masked or preexposed. These findings were taken to refute…

The Use of an Expert System in Human Resource Management.
Caldwell, Eveline M. – 1988
The complexity of the optimization algorithm for staff utilization in any medium to large organization can cause major problems in meeting schedules while still keeping all of the work force in full employment, working at a level appropriate to their experience, and also giving staff an opportunity to develop new skills and experiences that will…

Linguistic Games for Language Learning: A Special Use of the ILLICO Library.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pasero, Robert; Sabatier, Paul – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 1998
Describes principles underlying ILLICO, a generic natural-language software tool for building larger applications for performing specific linguistic tasks such as analysis, synthesis, and guided composition. Shows to what extent this approach is relevant to the development of computer-assisted language-learning systems. (Author/VWL)
