Learners’ awareness of the role of input and task repetition on L2 speech production
(Revista Innovación Educativa 64, 2014-04-22)
This study explored whether learners’ awareness of the role of input differs when performing narrative retelling tasks, and to what extent learners’ awareness of the task performance varies as a result of redoing those ...
On the functional integration between postural and supra-postural tasks on the basis of contextual cues and task constraint
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2010)
In order to evaluate the effects of uncertainty about direction of mechanical perturbation and supra-postural task constraint on postural control young adults had their upright stance perturbed while holding a tray in a ...
An analysis of context-based similarity tasks in textbooks from Brazil and the United States
(2017-11-17)
Three textbooks from Brazil and three textbooks from the United States were analysed with a focus on similarity and context-based tasks. Students’ opportunities to learn similarity were examined by considering whether ...
Dual-task interference: Attentional and neurophysiological influences
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
Performing two tasks simultaneously often degrades performance of one or both tasks. While this dual-task interference is classically interpreted in terms of shared attentional resources, where two motor tasks are performed ...
Performance of Down syndrome subjects during a coincident timing task
(2013-04-30)
Background: The time synchronization is a very important ability for the acquisition and performance of motor skills that generate the need to adapt the actions of body segments to external events of the environment that ...
The role of performance measure noise in mediating the relation between task complexity and outsourcing
(American Accounting Association, 2010)
This paper examines the effect of task complexity on a firm’s decision to
outsource and the mediating role of performance measure noise. Using insights from
agency and transaction cost economics theories, we predict that ...
Efeitos de tarefas cognitivas no controle postural de idosos: Uma revisão sistemática
(2011-07-01)
Demanding attention in order to keep postural balance increases with aging and with the presence of concurrent tasks that require information processing. Several studies have demonstrated that motor performance can be ...
Influence of dual-task constraints on the interaction between posture and movement during a lower limb pointing task
(2018-04-01)
One of the challenges regarding human motor control is making the movement fluid and at a limited cognitive cost. The coordination between posture and movement is a necessary requirement to perform daily life tasks. The ...
Understanding dual task performance in humans : electrophysiological correlates of interferences and costs between motor and working memory tasks at different levels of workload
(2019)
The simultaneous execution of two different tasks is associated with interference
processes that produce a decrease in the performance of one or both duties, a
common phenomenon whose neural mechanisms are not yet ...
An approach for supporting distributed user interface orchestration over the Web
(Academic Press Ltd-elsevier Science Ltd, 2014-01)
Currently, a lot of the tasks engaged by users over the Web involve dealing with multiple Web sites. Moreover, whilst Web navigation was considered as a lonely activity in the past, a large proportion of users are nowadays ...
