Abstract:

In this thesis, two concepts concerning conditions of practice were examined for the practice, retention and transfer of perceptual-cognitive skill, specifically anticipation in tennis. First, from the motor skills literature, the contextual interference (CI) effect was investigated for the first time in perceptual-cognitive skill training. A blocked and random schedule of practice was used to train anticipation skills in tennis using video simulation techniques with transfer of learning assessed using a field-based task. Results showed support for the CI effect in this new domain as random pr

Abstract:

The research presented in this thesis represents a body of work which addresses issues in medical imaging, primarily as it applies to breast cancer screening and laparoscopic surgery. The concern here is how computer based methods can aid medical practitioners in these tasks. Thus, research is presented which develops both new techniques of analysing radiologists performance data and also new approaches of examining surgeons visual behaviour when they are undertaking laparoscopic training. Initially a new chest X-Ray self-assessment application is described which has been developed to assess a

Abstract:

Athlete load monitoring is standard in high-performance sports environments, and is principally utilised to maximise performance and physiological adaptations, while limiting the deleterious costs of training and competition. Modified wellness questionnaires are a popularly utilised method of load monitoring, and are commonly used to evaluate the athlete training response from a holistic viewpoint. However, there remains a lack of evidence to support their use. This thesis investigated the dosage effects of wellness measures on controlled acute and chronic modulations in training intensity and

Abstract:

Objective: The perceptual mechanisms underlying the development and maintenance of excessive physical symptom reporting (i.e. 'somatisation') are poorly understood. Research with non-clinical participants suggests that high and low symptom reporters perform differently when detecting somatosensory signals and have different false alarm rates in which the presence of a signal is incorrectly reported when no signal is present. High symptom reporters often incorrectly report the presence of a signal particularly when a stimulus in a different sensory modality is presented. Previous research has s

Abstract:

Administration of educational curriculum beyond the traditional classroom are becoming an increasing concern for public and private sector organizations that offer formalized supervisory and management training. Training is expensive. Salaries of trainers, materials and equipment, and especially lost production are factors that go into the decision-making process when companies invest dollars into training employees. The establishment of cost effectiveness in terms of whether or not training content transfers to the job is of vital concern. Studies of learning transfer are rare, but even rar

Abstract:

The goal of this dissertation was to bridge the gap between perceptual learning theory and training application. Visual perceptual skill has been a vexing topic in training science for decades. In complex task domains, from aviation to medicine, visual perception is critical to task success. Despite this, little, if any, emphasis is dedicated to developing perceptual skills through training. Much of this may be attributed to the perceived inefficiency of perceptual training. Recent applied research in perceptual training with discrimination training, however, holds promise for improved percept

IEDs are powerful physical weapons, and the stressful atmosphere they, and other operational challenges create, can also result in a range of psychological dysfunctions, including anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Abstract:

The development of new technologies, such as non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) methods, has become a new frontier in cognitive neuroscience. Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) has recently established its role as a promising tool for influencing brain functions, and even for enhancing cognitive, perceptual or motor performances, with potential benefits for pathological conditions. Interest has raised in transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), which consists in the application of alternating current over the cortex at random frequencies. This thesis concentrates on the inves

Three experiments were conducted with 10 participants each, of both sex and university. In Experiment 1 was performed a conditional discrimination procedure using Matching-to-Smple having a stimulus as a model and three as a comparison. A set A was composed of

Abstract:

The visual content represented on information displays used in training environments prescribe display attributes as brightness, color, contrast, and motion blur, but considerations regarding cognitive processes corresponding to these visual features require further attention in order to optimize the display for training applications. This dissertation describes an empirical study with which information display features, specifically color and motion blur reduction, were investigated to assess their impact in a training scenario involving visual search and threat detection. Presented in this d

Abstract:

Dans cette thèse nous testons l’effet de différents types d’entraînements sur l’acquisition des monophtongues /æ, ʌ, ɑː, ɪ, et iː/ de l’anglais par des apprenants francophones adultes. Des mesures comportementales sont réalisées avant et après entraînements afin d’évaluer les changements sur la perception et la production de ces voyelles. De plus, une étude en potentiels évoqués a été menée afin de mettre en évidence des corrélats neuronaux consécutifs à l’entraînement du contraste /æ-ʌ/.Deux types d’entraînements ont donc été mis en place : 1) le premier, du type High Variability Phonetic Tra
