Using data from an existing pre-algebra computer-based tutor, we analyzed the covariance of item-types with the goal of describing a more effective way to assign skill labels to item-types.

Calder, Andrew J.; Jenkins, Rob; Cassel, Anneli; Clifford, Colin W. G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2008
To date, there is no functional account of the visual perception of gaze in humans. Previous work has demonstrated that left gaze and right gaze are represented by separate mechanisms. However, these data are consistent with either a multichannel system comprising separate channels for distinct gaze directions (e.g., left, direct, and right) or an…

Hohwy, Jakob; Roepstorff, Andreas; Friston, Karl – Cognition, 2008
