Perceptual processing strategy and exposure influence the perception of odor mixtures
2008
; In flavor perception, both experience with the components of odor/taste mixtures and the cognitive strategy used to examine the interactions between the components influence the overall mixture perception. However, the effect of these factors on odor mixtures perception has never been studied. The present study aimed at evaluating whether 1) previous exposure to the odorants included in a mixture or 2) the synthetic or analytic strategy engaged during odorants mixture evaluation determines odor representation. Blending mixtures, in which subjects perceived a unique quality distinct from those of components, were chosen in order to induce a priori synthetic perception. In the first part, …
Pronunciation Learning Strategy Chains: A Qualitative Approach
2014
Language learning is a daunting process frequently enhanced by a number of factors, for example, language learning strategies deployed in an orchestrated manner (Oxford 1990). Similarly, pronunciation learning may be supported by effective strategies used either separately or in logically combined chains. However, little attention has been given so far to the strategies L2 learners employ when learning the target language pronunciation, not to mention pronunciation learning strategy chains. Hence, there have been a limited number of empirical investigations into pronunciation learning strategies (PLS) in general and in particular the ones following the qualitative design (cf. Bukowski 2004;…
The Effects of Cognitive Strategy Instruction on Knowledge of Math Problem-Solving Processes of Middle School Students With Learning Disabilities
2012
This study investigated the effectiveness of Solve It! instruction on students’ knowledge of math problem-solving strategies. Solve It! is a cognitive strategy intervention designed to improve the math problem solving of middle school students with learning disabilities (LD). Participants included seventh- and eighth-grade students with LD ( n = 77) and average-achieving students ( n = 77). We examined treatment effects of the intervention, as well as differential effects of treatment across ability levels, on students’ knowledge of problem-solving strategies using the Math Problem-Solving Assessment. Results showed that students across ability levels who received Solve It! instruction rep…
Strategic and motivational factors as predictors of pre-service primary teachers's success in problem solving
2014
En este trabajo se presenta una investigación descriptiva que muestra las relaciones entre cinco factores motivacionales y estratégicos (planificación, estrategias cognitivas, autocontrol, esfuerzo y autoeficacia) y el rendimiento en la resolución de problemas. Se administró a 66 maestras y maestros de primaria en formación un cuadernillo con dos problemas (problema 1 y problema 2) y el test de O'Neil y Schacter. Los resultados de los análisis de regresión múltiple ponen de manifiesto que: a) planificación, esfuerzo y autoeficacia son predictores significativos de las puntuaciones de las puntuaciones del problema de estructura simple (problema 1); b) esfuerzo, autoeficacia y estrategias cog…
