The effect of explicit knowledge on sequence learning: A graded account
2004
In this paper, we study the effect of conscious knowledge on implicit sequence learning. To do so, in three sequence learning experiments, we manipulated (1) the extent to which instructions were intentional vs. incidental - intentional participants were informed of the existence of sequential regularities, and (2) the amount of explicit knowledge given to participants about the stimulus material. Results indicated that explicit knowledge improves sequence learning, as indexed by an increase in reaction times when the training sequence is unexpectedly replaced by another one. To enable us to differentiate between implicit and explicit learning, we applied the process dissociation procedure …
Exact solution of generalized Tavis - Cummings models in quantum optics
1996
Quantum inverse methods are developed for the exact solution of models which describe N two-level atoms interacting with one mode of the quantized electromagnetic field containing an arbitrary number of excitations M. Either a Kerr-type nonlinearity or a Stark-shift term can be included in the model, and it is shown that these two cases can be mapped from one to the other. The method of solution provides a general framework within which many related problems can similarly be solved. Explicit formulae are given for the Rabi splitting of the models for some N and M, on- and off-resonance. It is also shown that the solution of the pure Tavis - Cummings model can be reduced to solving a homogen…
Remarks on verbo-tonal phonetics for a communicative context
2018
El objetivo de este artículo es presentar algunas técnicas de corrección fonética a los profesores de lengua extranjera, especialmente a aquellos que trabajan en un contexto comunicativo (Arnold et al. 2005) y no están familiarizados con la clase de pronunciación. El artículo se divide en dos partes: en primer lugar, presentaremos las contribuciones más generales del Método verbo-tonal (Asp 2006; Berré (ed.), 2005; Billières, 2002, 2014; Calvo and Murillo, 2012; Dalmau et al., 1985; Guberina, 1956, 1961; Guberina and Murillo 2008; Murillo, 2002; Intravaia, 2002; Renard, 1971, 1979, 2010; Renard and van Vlasselaer 1976; Roberge, 2002; etc.); en segundo lugar, propondremos algunas técnicas pa…
G-Spaces and Kaluza-Klein Theory
1988
G-spaces are present whenever symmetries are relevant in physics. After a short introduction to this subject, spontaneous symmetry breaking in elementary particle physics is considered from this point of view. Kaluza-Klein theory is discussed in a purely geometrical formulation. Some results in connection with the geometrical compactification scheme are presented.
Facial Expressions to Evaluate Advertising: A Laboratory versus Living Room Study
2017
In recent years researchers have shown growing interest in the impact of emotions in television commercials and in advertising in general (Park and Thorson, 1990). Emotions also influence the attitude towards the brand and to the ad (Batney and Ray, 1986; Edell and Burke, 1987; Derbaix, 1995), increase the attention of the advertisement (Olney, Hobrook and Bartra, 1991), and brand recall (Stayman and Batra, 1991).
Implicit learning and implicit memory in moderate to severe memory disorders
2010
Numerous experimental psychology studies have established firmly that important parts of the human cognitive process operate automatically without the conscious or explicit control of the subjects (9). Such processes can concern memorization of episodes from life in a way that will subsequently have an implicit influence on our behavior (such as decision-making or reaction time). They can equally assist acquisition of more complex knowledge from our surroundings, by the automatic capture of the statistical regularities found in them (see Chapter “Introducing implicit learning: from the laboratory to the real life”, E. Bigand and C. Delbe). This is the way, for example, that a baby learns to…
On the Symmetry of Solutions to a k-Hessian Type Equation
2013
Abstract In this note we prove that if u is a negative solution to a nonlinear elliptic equation involving a Hessian operator, and u is zero on the boundary of a ball, then u is radially symmetric and increasing along the radii.
Mixing-induced spontaneous supersymmetry breaking
2010
It is conjectured that flavor mixing furnishes a universal mechanism for the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry. The conjecture is proved explicitly for the mixing of two Wess--Zumino $\mathcal{N}=1$ supermultiplets and arguments for its general validity are given. The mechanism relies on the fact that, despite mixing treats fermions and bosons symmetrically, both the fermionic and the bosonic zero point energies are shifted by a positive amount and this kind of shift does not respect supersymmetry.
Orientifold theory dynamics and symmetry breaking
2004
We show that it is possible to construct explicit models of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the number of techniflavors needed to enter the conformal phase of the theory is small and weakly dependent on the number of technicolors. Surprisingly, the minimal model with {\it just} two (techni)flavors, together with a suitable gauge dynamics, can be made almost conformal. The theories we consider are generalizations of orientifold type gauge theories, in which the fermions are in either two index symmetric or antisymmetric representation of the gauge group, as the underlying dynamics responsible for the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry. We first study their phase diagram,…
Extracting Semantic Knowledge from Unstructured Text Using Embedded Controlled Language
2016
Nowadays, most of the data on the Web is still in the form of unstructured text. Knowledge extraction from unstructured text is highly desirable but extremely challenging due to the inherent ambiguity of natural language. In this article, we present an architecture of an information extraction system based on the concept of Embedded Controlled Language that allows for extracting formal semantic knowledge from an unstructured text corpus. Moreover, the presented approach has a potential to support multilingual input and output.
