McCluskey, Catherine; Mitchelmore, Michael; Mulligan, Joanne – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2013
Research affirms that pattern and structure underlie the development of a broad range of mathematical concepts. However, the concept of pattern also occurs in other fields. This theoretical paper explores pattern recognition, a neurological construct based on the world of Goldberg (2005), and pattern as defined in the field of mathematics to…

Yadav, Aman; Krist, Christina; Good, Jon; Caeli, Elisa Nadire – Computer Science Education, 2018
A number of efforts have focused on preparing teachers to integrate CT within secondary disciplinary subject areas; however, there is little research on how CT ideas could be embedded within elementary subjects. We designed a professional development activity for elementary teachers to embed CT within science and examined how their understanding…

Nikelshpur, Dmitry O. – ProQuest LLC, 2014
Similar to mammalian brains, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are universal approximators, capable of yielding near-optimal solutions to a wide assortment of problems. ANNs are used in many fields including medicine, internet security, engineering, retail, robotics, warfare, intelligence control, and finance. "ANNs have a tendency to get…

Craik, Fergus I. M.; Rose, Nathan S.; Gopie, Nigel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
The article reports 4 experiments that explore the notion of recognition without awareness using words as the material. Previous work by Voss and associates has shown that complex visual patterns were correctly selected as targets in a 2-alternative forced-choice (2-AFC) recognition test although participants reported that they were guessing. The…

Pasnak, Robert – Grantee Submission, 2017
Young children have been taught simple sequences of alternating shapes and colors, referred to as "patterning", for the past half century in the hope that their understanding of pre-algebra and their mathematics achievement would be improved. The evidence that such patterning instruction actually improves children's academic achievement…

Cronjé, Johannes – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2018
The question driving this paper is: "What should we assess if learners can Google the answers on their mobile devices?" If "Learning" is defined as "being able to do something afterwards that you could not do before," the problem is that technology now enables us to do many things which we were not able to do before,…

Matthews, William J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
This article concerns the effect of context on people's judgments about sequences of chance outcomes. In Experiment 1, participants judged whether sequences were produced by random, mechanical processes (such as a roulette wheel) or skilled human action (such as basketball shots). Sequences with lower alternation rates were judged more likely to…

Tanisli, Dilek – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2016
Problem Statement: Gaining reasoning skills in early years affects the formal proving skills in the following years, thus it is quite significant. The acquiring of this skill is only possible with the approaches that the teachers used in the process. At this point, the problem to be researched in terms of making proofs is seen in how middle school…

Abbott, Rodman P.; Stracener, Jerrell – Journal of Research Administration, 2016
This study investigates the relationship between the designated research project system independent variables of Labor, Travel, Equipment, and Contract total annual costs and the dependent variables of both the associated matching research project total annual academic publication output and thesis/dissertation number output. The Mahalanobis…

Mielens, Jason D.; Hoffman, Matthew R.; Ciucci, Michelle R.; McCulloch, Timothy M.; Jiang, Jack J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2012
Purpose: The authors present 3 methods of performing pattern recognition on spatiotemporal plots produced by pharyngeal high-resolution manometry (HRM). Method: Classification models, including the artificial neural networks (ANNs) multilayer perceptron (MLP) and learning vector quantization (LVQ), as well as support vector machines (SVM), were…

Sun, Yu-Chih – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2016
Extensive reading for second language learners have been widely documented over the past few decades. However, few studies, if any, have used a corpus analysis approach to analyze the vocabulary coverage within a single-author story series, its repetition of vocabulary, and the incidental and intentional vocabulary learning opportunities therein.…

Williamson, Ben – European Educational Research Journal, 2016
This article analyses the rise of software systems in education governance, focusing on digital methods in the collection, calculation and circulation of educational data. It examines how software-mediated methods intervene in the ways educational institutions and actors are seen, known and acted upon through an analysis of the methodological…

Yang, Juan; Huang, Zhi Xing; Gao, Yue Xiang; Liu, Hong Tao – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2014
During the past decade, personalized e-learning systems and adaptive educational hypermedia systems have attracted much attention from researchers in the fields of computer science Aand education. The integration of learning styles into an intelligent system is a possible solution to the problems of "learning deviation" and…

Takahashi, Junichi; Yasunaga, Daichi; Gyoba, Jiro – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
We examined the effects of complexity on the efficiency of pattern encoding in the general population differing on autism-spectrum quotient (AQ) scores. We compared brain activity (electroencephalography) during a same-different task for High and Low AQ groups. The task was composed of identical comparison and categorical comparison (CC)…

Dinsmore, Daniel L.; Baggetta, Peter; Doyle, Stephanie; Loughlin, Sandra M. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2014
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that transfer ability (positive and negative) varies depending on the nature of the problems, using the knowledge transfer matrix, as well as being dependent on the individual differences of the learner. A total of 178 participants from the United States and New Zealand completed measures of prior…
