Reward refreshes memory: the retroactive effect on incidental statistical learning

Reward motivation enhances memory formation (Adcock et al., 2006). Here we examine the retroactive effect of reward on memory formation occurring during visual statistical learning, a type of incidental learning. In a learning phase, participants were required to passively view a sequence of images. Unbeknownst to participants, the thirty-two images were statistically structured as eight quadruplets, and quadruplets were equally divided into two types of sequences --rewarded sequences (e.g., ABCD) and non-rewarded sequences (e.g., A’B’C’D’). Subsequently, in the value-learning phase, participants were told there were quadruplets in the previous phase, and half of the quadruplets were rewarded sequences, while the other half were non-rewarded sequences. During this phase, the last items of quadruplets (e.g., D and D’) were shown, and participants had a chance to learn whether those last items belong to a rewarded sequence or a non-rewarded sequence. Following these two learning phases, two memory tests were performed. In the sequence recognition test, two sequences (one target and one foil) were presented, and participants had to choose which was more familiar. Critically, target and foil sequences consisted of only the first three items of quadruplet (e.g., target: ABC or A’B’C’; foil: AFK or A’F’K’). We excluded the last item to ask whether the learned reward association retroactively refreshed memory for other members of a sequence. We found that recognition rate of rewarded sequences was significantly higher than non-rewarded sequences, despite the absence of the image learned during value-learning and despite the absence of reward during the passive viewing phase. In a final reward memory phase, participants showed above chance ability to identify reward vs. non-reward images. Our results are the first to show that memory associations can be enhanced by being refreshed with novel reward information, even when memory was indirectly associated with reward.
STRUCTURAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF RESEARCH TYPOLOGIZATION ON THE USE OF ICT IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

The article features a methodology for systematization of research on ICT use in secondary education. Making important decisions about improving school education, including through the introduction of certain information and communication technologies into the educational process, is based on the study of relevant experience and relevant research results. The large number of diversified scientific works that make up the theoretical, practical, and methodological basis of the ICT use in school education necessitates the generalization, ordering, and determination of their typological features. The author singles out the following groups of studies related to the ICT use in school: generalizing theoretical-analytical (documentary), empirical and complex. Each of the groups is characterized by a variable set of typological features in terms of scale and independence of their conduct. They allow distinguishing their main types (10 types of research are considered in the article, for example, empirical/international large-scale/contextual studies or complex/local/separate studies, etc.). The author determined the structural and methodological criteria for the analysis of different research types (thematic, targeted, sampling, organizational, methodological, analytical, resultant) and carried out a selective analysis of the studies on the proposed typological features, structural and methodological criteria, the results of which were systematized in the matrix of methodological analysis of different research types on the ICT use in school education. According to the results of the works review, topical thematic areas of the analyzed research were identified, typical methods of data collection and analysis were singled out and the format of results reporting was highlighted for each selected research group. The approach to systematizing research on the use of ICT in secondary education institutions, presented in the proposed article, can be applied during the review of scientific achievements, the analysis of pedagogical research in the field of ICT, or to design individual research. Filling in the proposed analysis matrix will allow it to be further used as a database of relevant research papers, facilitate the search and selection of those that meet the objectives of a specific scientific search.

The questionnaire consists of 17 items. This research uses descriptive qualitative whereas the researcher analyzes and describes the questionnaire distributed and returned from learners of English department. Base on the data gained, the result shows that although learners have high motivation on learning English speaking subject, that is 96%, pseudo mental model (nervous, afraid, and less confident)on performing English speaking task ability still occurred. Besides that, it also occurs not only because of learners had problems in language component skills , that is 75%, though in fact in specific problems occurred 57% (problems are not similar) but also in mental model 67% though preparation is prepared well 92%, 78% before conducting and 71% during performing, and the frequency of “always “ being nervous, afraid and less confident is 64%. Moreover, 92% learners are trying to reduce of having pseudo mental model (afraid, nervous, lack confident).
On the Identification of Critical Questions in the PISA for Schools Program

PISA for Schools is an OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) program designed to provide results on students’ performance in Mathematics, Reading and Science at school level. In order to achieve this purpose, participants are asked to answer a content-based test together with a background questionnaire. Answers are next evaluated by a group of reviewers using a coding guide defined in terms of an ordinal qualitative scale. Although guarantying consistency among reviewers is key, differences may arise on a particular question due to different interpretations of the coding guide for some specific answers. In order to identify the origin of the discrepancies and ensure consistency in the evaluation process of forthcoming editions of the program, this work aims at identifying critical questions that lead to the largest disagreements among reviewers. Ultimately, this critical questions should be examined in detail by performing some qualitative analysis of both the answers provided by the participants and the instructions on the coding guide.

Particle MCMC With Poisson Resampling: Parallelization and Continuous Time Models

We introduce a new version of particle filter in which the number of “children” of a particle at a given time has a Poisson distribution. As a result, the number of particles is random and varies with time. An advantage of this scheme is that descendants of different particles can evolve independently. It makes easy to parallelize computations. Moreover, particle filter with Poisson resampling is readily adapted to the case when a hidden process is a continuous time, piecewise deterministic semi-Markov process. We show that the basic techniques of particle MCMC, namely particle independent Metropolis-Hastings, particle Gibbs sampler and its version with ancestor sampling, work under our Poisson resampling scheme. Our version of particle Gibbs sampler is uniformly ergodic under the same assumptions as its standard counterpart. We present simulation results which indicate that our algorithms can compete with the existing methods. Supplemental materials for this article are available online.

Dynamic Increased Capacity Approach Steganography in Spatial Domain

Information security using image steganography is the process of concealing secret information within an image. The conventional methods are static approaches having fixed capacity in term of embedding rate. To solve the problem of static behavior and fixed capacity, we proposed a method that is dynamic approach and increased capacity for embedding rate. Novel algorithm can be used by the data storage industry to design new data storage devices. Other possible applications of this research work will be its usage in other areas such as Watermarking, Document Tracking Tool, Document Authentication Tool, and General Communication etc. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed steganography algorithm produces the best performance among state-of-the-art algorithms in evaluation of subjective visual assessment as well as objective error metrics.
Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization via Reinforcement Learning

Abstract Particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is a well-known optimization algorithm, which shows good performance in solving different optimization problems. However, PSO usually suffers from slow convergence. In this paper, a reinforcement learning method is used to enhance PSO in convergence by replacing the uniformly distributed random number in the updating function by a random number generated from a well-selected normal distribution. The mean and variance of the normal distribution are estimated from the current state of each individual through a policy net. The historic behavior of the swarm group is learned to update the policy net and guide the selection of parameters of the normal distribution. The proposed algorithm is tested with numerical test functions and the results show that the convergence rate of PSO can be improved with the proposed Reinforcement Learning method (RL-PSO).

Computer assisted medical decision-making system using genetic algorithm and extreme learning machine for diagnosing allergic rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an antigen-mediated inflammation of the nasal mucosa that might extend into the paranasal sinuses. Rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction or blockage, nasal itching, sneezing, and postnasal drip that reverse spontaneously or after treatment are symptoms of AR. Allergic conjunctivitis frequently accompanies AR. For diagnosis of AR, intradermal skin tests remain the gold standard. This paper presents a clinical decision-making system that assists the clinicians to diagnose whether a patient suffers from AR. Feature selection is done using a wrapper approach that employs genetic algorithm (GA) and extreme learning machine (ELM). The selected features are trained and tested using an ELM classifier. For experimenting, the outcome of the symptoms observed in 872 patients for diagnosing the presence or absence of AR has been used. The experimental result shows that the system has achieved an accuracy of 97.7%.
The influence of sample preparation techniques on results of extraction of heavy metals from soil

Abstract A study of the composition of mobile compounds of heavy metals (HM) in the area of aerosol contamination by a heat supply company showed an increase in the number of these compounds near the source of contamination. In the group of loosely bound compounds, the largest part is represented by specifically sorbed compounds. Sample preparation (the degree of sample grinding) had a noticeable effect on the extractability of Zn, Cu, and Pb from the soil. During the sifting of a soil sample through a 0.25 mm sieve, the extraction of mobile forms of HM increases significantly (by 7–16 %). Thus, with an increase in the specific surface of soil particles, the extracting ability of the reagents increases. It is necessary to take into account the sample preparation used in each fractionation method to evaluate the results and compare them.
