Patterns Bit by Bit. An Entropy Model for Rule Induction
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Radulescu, Silvia; Wijnen, Frank; Avrutin, Sergey – Language Learning and Development, 2020
From limited evidence, children track the regularities of their language impressively fast and they infer generalized rules that apply to novel instances. This study investigated what drives the inductive leap from memorizing specific items and statistical regularities to extracting abstract rules. We propose an innovative entropy model that…

Sapey-Triomphe, Laurie-Anne; Sonié, Sandrine; Hénaff, Marie-Anne; Mattout, Jérémie; Schmitz, Christina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
The learning-style theory of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (Qian, Lipkin, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 5:77, 2011) states that ASD individuals differ from neurotypics in the way they learn and store information about the environment and its structure. ASD would rather adopt a "lookup-table" strategy (LUT: memorizing each…

Teaching Transfer Strategies to Children with Moderate Learning Difficulties. Research Supplement.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sugden, David; Newall, Margaret – British Journal of Special Education, 1987
Semantic elaboration, a language-based mnemonic strategy, was taught to 15 students (aged five to nine years) with moderate learning difficulties over a six-month period, using pictures as stimuli. Among reported results was an improvement in overall performance on memorization of pairs of pictures. Generalization to items not used during teaching…

The Effects of Different Interspersal Drill Ratios on Acquisition and Generalization of Multiplication and Division Facts.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cooke, Nancy L.; Reichard, Shannon M. – Education and Treatment of Children, 1996
Six fifth-grade students with learning and/or behavioral/emotional disabilities received peer tutoring on multiplication and division facts using 3 drill and practice conditions varying in the ratio of unknown to known facts (30:70, 50:50, and 70:30). Five of the students mastered facts at a faster rate in the 70% unknown/30% known condition. (DB)

How Do I Learn? An Experimental Programme to Introduce Young People and Their Teachers to the Many Ways of Learning. Project Report 9.
Belbin, Eunice; And Others – 1981
A project was undertaken to develop an experimental program to help young people acquire a generalized strategy for learning after they leave school. Other objectives of the program were to help teachers improve their understanding and use of various learning strategies, to develop an induction course for those purposes (entitled the "How do…
