For example, mental imagery is used to understand the positions of three-dimensional objects after rotations (e.g., Shepard & Metzler, 1971) and actions are simulated during language comprehension (e.g., Glenberg & Kaschak, 2002).
In an attempt to simulate the difficulties in comprehension seen in the patient group, and as used in a previous study on post-stroke aphasia (Sharp et al., 2004), the healthy participants had trials on 3-channel noise-vocoded speech functional MRI (Shannon et al., 1995).
At the same time, in the Chinese Room scenario, Searle maintains that a system can exhibit behavior just as complex as human behavior, simulating any degree of intelligence and language comprehension that one can imagine, and simulating any ability to deal with the world, yet not understand a thing.
This is instrumental to the creation of databases of paired experimental and simulated data necessary to a better comprehension of biological and medical data.
The study setting (private or open-plan), environmental color (blue, red, or white), and study material (reading or math comprehension) were manipulated in a simulated study environment to determine their effects on adult students' mood, satisfaction, motivation, and performance.
Additionally, participants with some or maximum levels of simulated daylighting performed significantly better on the assigned reading and comprehension tasks than those that did not have any simulated daylighting available.
If his physiognomy — recessed eyes that don't seem to focus, a wide snub nose and Elvis-y lips — conjure Neanderthal manhood after a cosmetic makeover, his boyish monotone with its utter lack of inflection suggests that he is really an advanced robot simulating human speech without registering emotion or even comprehension.
Most companies say they receive far more applications than they need, and they require a battery of tests —personality, reading and listening comprehension, technical aptitude, spoken word, data entry — and simulated call "auditions".
We performed an Online Survey simulating an emergency department trial recruitment, posteriorly evaluating participants' ratings of importance and self-assessed comprehension of specific topics of the informed consent document.
These approaches continued to build comprehension and confidence, focused students on organizing their responses utilizing their fund of knowledge, promoted thinking and simulated question and answer sessions at programs.
9. Reading comprehension.
