We present a detailed process theory of the moment-by-moment working-memory retrievals and associated control structure that subserve sentence comprehension. The theory is derived from the application of independently motivated principles of memory and cognitive skill to the specialized task

network position. Instead, what appears to be key in improving a VC firm's network position is demonstrating skill in selecting, and adding value to, investments. We also explore an alternative explanation for the positive relation between exit rates and network centrality, namely that better

This paper reports the results of experiencing computer graphics and videogames programming as a way to support the learning process of undergraduate courses on Programming and on Software Engineering, in a ”fixing & extending ” approach. In particular, we show how some XNA-based tools may

explanation over trade. Instead, I present and test a model where trade and capital account liberalization increase the profitability of skill-biased new technologies in all sectors, but there is cross-firm heterogeneity in technology adoption due to differences in productivity, fixed costs of adoption

similar adoption plans initially. The results imply that fixed rental rates for automation machinery reduce the impact that immigration has on less-skilled relative wages. A large body of research argues that new workplace machines, like computers, complement skilled labor, and that a sharp decline

influences on bug fixing, such as the importance of seniority and interpersonal skills of the bug reporter. Informed by these findings, we built a statistical model to predict the probability that a new bug will be fixed (the first known one, to the best of our knowledge). We trained it on Windows Vista bugs

. However, the trends revealed in the study do pose challenges for low-skilled workers—the group most negatively affected—and for highly skilled specialists, who face pressure to constantly upgrade their skills. Policy implications can be drawn in view of our results to ensure that labor markets are able
