Learning Tasks

Three rote-learning tasks were administered to 180 children. Reinforcement was given either on right responses or on wrong responses and consisted either of the words “right” or “wrong,” a 400-cps tone, or an electric shock. Each task was given either in a long or a short form and was always run to 12 trials. No significant effect was found for reinforcement mode. Significantly more learning occurred when the feedback was contingent on a wrong response than on a right response.

Sense Of Time

The complementary role of static and dynamic information used when one needs to be located in time was studied. Static information refers to temporal knowledge about days of the week, and dynamic information reflects a sense of time, taking into account the present, the near past, and the future. Each day of an actual 7-day wk., 699 women and 620 men were asked to provide a “right” or “wrong” response to a statement such as “Today is T.,” where X was the name of one of the seven days of the week. Analysis suggested use of a structured temporal representation of the week: the weekend, a landmark, had an anchoring role. Also the dynamics of the content of working memory were indicated. The active “temporal window” participants hold in mind seems directed more towards the future than the past. Results are discussed within the more general context of time management.

Short Circuit Fault

Directional Overcurrent relays (DOCR) applications in meshed distribution networks (MDN), eliminate short circuit fault current due to the topographical nature of the system. Effective and reliable coordination’s between primary and secondary relay pairs ensures effective coordination achievement. Otherwise, the risk of safety of lives and installations may be compromised alongside with system instability. This paper proposes an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach of optimizing the system operation response time of all DOCR within the network to address miscoordination problem due to wrong response time among adjacent DOCRs to the same fault. A modelled series of DOCRs in a simulated IEEE 8-bus test system in DigSilent Power Factory with extracted data from three phase short circuit fault analysis adapted in training a custom ANN. Hence, an improved optimized time is produced from the network output to eliminate miscoordination among the DOCRs.

Comparative Group

A study of concentrated attention patterns in epileptic patients was conducted with the objectives: characterization of the patients' epileptic condition; assessment of the concentrated attention levels in epileptic and nonepileptic individuals; comparison of the attention levels of the two groups. An evaluation was performed of 50 adult outpatients with complex partial seizures and 20 non-epileptic individuals (comparative group) at the Neuroepilepsy Ambulatory Unit, State University of Campinas SP, Brazil. METHOD: characterization of seizure types, frequency and duration; concentrated attention assessment (Concentrated Attention Test - Toulouse-Piéron); comparison of the epileptic with non-epileptic individuals. RESULTS: A statistically significant difference was observed between the groups with regard to Correct Response, Wrong Response and No Response. A difference was observed in relation to Time, but it was statistically insignificant. The epileptic patients presented inferior cognitive performance in relation to concentrated attention when compared with the non-epileptic individuals, findings compatible with the clinical complaints.

Two Sides

The purpose was (1) to determine empirically the extent of insight exhibited by 429 high school and college students in solving a geometry problem directly solvable by insight without mathematical computations and (2) to study the effects of instructional cues and educational status. Educational status ranged from high school through college freshmen to upper-division students. Insightful solutions were achieved by about 4% of the participants under Condition I with no cues as a control, about 3% under Condition II where an unsolvable Pythagorean equation with two unknown sides was given, about 13% under Condition III giving a solvable Pythagorean equation with two sides of known lengths, and about 16% under Condition IV with an instructional cue that diagonals of a rectangle are equal. The last condition and the combined results suggest insightful solution increases with educational status. Two types of noninsightful responses were noted: empty or no answer and wrong response or incorrect approach through computations. The first type tends to increase, while the second to decrease from high school to college status probably due to a growing cautious deliberation with maturity and higher education. A training program on “the formation of insight sets” is proposed.

Mandatory Voting

The trend of declining voter turnout across the western world has led some in Canada to call for mandatory voting. Australia is often cited as a successful example of compulsory voting in a Westminster system. While the aim to increase voter turnout is noble, there are many non-coercive methods of improving democracy and voter turnout that Canada ought to adapt before resorting to mandatory voting. Assessed methods include electoral reform, lowering the voting age, and instituting online voting; all are non-coercive ways to improve public satisfaction with the political process in Canada. Additionally, mandatory voting reduces Canadians’ ability to abstain from participating in the political system should they choose to do so which could have important philosophical implications. Furthermore,voter turnout data for Australia does not take into account important differences between registered voter turnout and voting age population turnout. Importantly, when analyzed these numbers indicate that compulsory voting in Australia is not as successful as many believe. Despite its ostensible attraction as a clear way to increase voter turnout, a legal requirement to vote is not a panacea to the issues of political distrust, dissatisfaction, and disengagement in Canada that are the root causes of low voter turnout.
