Selective Resetting Position and Heading Estimations While Driving in a Large-Scale Immersive Virtual Environment
Download2018-10-27
Two experiments investigated how self-motion cues and landmarks interact in determining a human’s position and heading estimations while driving in a large-scale virtual environment by controlling a gaming wheel and pedals. In an immersive virtual city, participants learned the locations of five...

Self‑determined motivation for language learning: The role of need for cognition and language learning strategies

McIntosh, Cameron, Noels, Kimberly A.
Over the last decade, there has been a notable revival of scholarly interest in second language (L2) motivation(see Dörnyei 1998; Oxford 1996a). Since a number of critical reviews of the conceptual and empirical status of L2 motivation theory appeared in the early to mid-1990s (e.g., Crookes and...

Evolutionary psychologists have argued that the emergence of language was associated with reducing direct physical aggression and easing social functioning in small groups. If this is so, then males should use verbal or indirect aggression more frequently than females since they engage in more...

Cognitive mapping is assumed to be through hippocampus-dependent place learning rather than striatum-dependent response learning. However, we propose that either type of spatial learning, as long as it involves encoding metric relations between locations and reference points, could lead to a...

There are many reasons, some of which are better than others for sustaining motivation over the long run. Research evidence suggests that a personally relevant, self-engaged, and inherently interested orientation to language study supports engagement in the learning process, and thereby a variety...

Since the early 2000s, almost 300 SDT-relevant empirical journal articles and approximately the same number of dissertations have been published, with at least half appearing in the last five years. A review of the studies published in peer-reviewed journals (see Table 1) shows that half of...

Talk to me: Parental linguistic practices may hold the key to reducing incidence of language impairment and delay among multiple birth children
Download2005-01-01
Researchers have long known that multiple-birth children are predisposed toward language impairment and delay. Proposed explanations include the frequentlow birth weight of multiple birth children, unspecified genetic factors, and differences in the linguistic environment that seem to correlate...

Within a semantic domain, terms that can be used in a similar way to describe a similar event are members of the same class of words, or near-synonyms. They are common in a language but difficult to distinguish from one and another. Physical action verbs such as ‘throw’ verbs are a typical...
