Cognitive and Psychosocial Factors in the Long-Term Development of Implicit and Explicit Second Language Knowledge in Adult Learners of Spanish at Increasing Proficiency
Direct linkDirect link
Serafini, Ellen Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This study examined the second language (L2) development of adult learners of Spanish at three levels of proficiency during and after a semester of instruction. A fundamental goal was to identify cognitive and psychosocial individual differences (IDs) that can explain between-learner variation over time in order to expand our understanding of the…

Cognitive and Task Influences on Web Searching Behavior.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kim, Kyung-Sun; Allen, Bryce – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2002
Describes results from two independent investigations of college students that were conducted to study the impact of differences in users' cognition and search tasks on Web search activities and outcomes. Topics include cognitive style; problem-solving; and implications for the design and use of the Web and Web search engines. (Author/LRW)

An Information Processing Approach to Performance Assessment: I. Experimental Investigation of an Information Processing Battery. Technical Report No. 1, April 1, 1977 through November 15, 1977.
Rose, Andrew M.; Fernandes, Kathleen – 1977
An information processing approach was applied to the development and validation of a test battery intended for personnel selection, classification, and guidance; and design of training programs. The approach specifies that test should measure specific cognitive processes and basic abilities, rather than prior experience. Tests should be short,…

An Information Processing Approach to Performance Assessment. Final Report, November 16, 1977 through November 30, 1978.
Rose, Andrew M. – 1978
An ongoing series of experiments has extended Rose's information processing approach to job performance assessment. Each study investigated cognitive tasks from the literature on memory, psycholinquistics, and visual information processing, for potential inclusion in the test battery. Each task was then evaluated against three criterion areas: (1)…

Organizational Policy Decisions as a Function of Individual Differences and Task Design: Maintenance Tasks. Technical Report No. 10.
O'Connor, Edward J.; And Others – 1977
Ninety subjects completed identical simulated maintenance tasks under two experimental conditions. In the high job structural attribute condition subjects were told that the task was high in learning new skills, responsibility, feedback, and task identity; while in the low job structural condition they were told the opposite. Results indicated the…
