Principles and Practice in Second Language Acquisition
, 1982
"... This is the original version of Principles and Practice, as published in 1982, with only minor changes. It is gratifying to point out that many of the predictions made in this book were confirmed by subsequent research, for example, the superiority of comprehensible-input based methods and sheltered ..."

because they are getting comprehensible input at the same time. I now think it is very important to make a strong effort to inform students about the process of language acquisition, so they can continue to improve on their own.
Locality Preserving Projection,"
- Neural Information Processing System,
, 2004
"... Abstract Many problems in information processing involve some form of dimensionality reduction. In this paper, we introduce Locality Preserving Projections (LPP). These are linear projective maps that arise by solving a variational problem that optimally preserves the neighborhood structure of the ..."

Semantic foundations of concurrent constraint programming
, 1990
"... Concurrent constraint programming [Sar89,SR90] is a sim-ple and powerful model of concurrent computation based on the notions of store-as-constraint and process as information transducer. The store-as-valuation conception of von Neu-mann computing is replaced by the notion that the store is a constr ..."

, hiding and recursion. We present a simple model for this language based on the specification-oriented methodology of [OH86]. The crucial insight is to focus on observing the resting points of a process—those stores in which the pro-cess quiesces without producing more information. It turns out
Modelling Concurrency with Partial Orders
, 1986
"... Concurrency has been expressed variously in terms of formal languages (typically via the shuffle operator), partial orders, and temporal logic, inter alia. In this paper we extract from these three approaches a single hybrid approach having a rich language that mixes algebra and logic and having a n ..."

, so do sets of pomsets form processes. We introduce a number of operations useful for specifying concurrent processes and demonstrate their utility on some basic examples. Although none of the operations is particularly oriented to nets it is nevertheless possible to use them to express processes
The role of visual attention in saccadic eye movements
- Perception & Psychophysics
, 1995
"... The relationship between saccadic eye movements and covert orienting of visual spatial attention was investigated in two experiments. In the first experiment, subjects were required to make a saccade to a specified location while also detecting a visual target presented just prior to the eye movemen ..."

; Carpenter, 1987; Kowler, 1991). What is the mechanism that chooses the destination of each subsequent saccade? A likely candidate is the spatial attention system, a mechanism that can operate within a fixation to selectively process information from different
Concentrating partial entanglement by local operations
, 1995
"... If two separated observers are supplied with entanglement, in the form of n pairs of particles in identical partly-entangled pure states, one member of each pair being given to each observer; they can, by local actions of each observer, concentrate this entanglement into a smaller number of maximall ..."

Memory interference during language processing.
- Journal of Experimental Pscyhology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition,
, 2001
"... The authors studied the operation of working memory in language comprehension by examining the reading of complex sentences. Reading time and comprehension accuracy in self-paced reading by college students were studied as a function of type of embedded clause (object-extracted vs. subjectextracted ..."

Behavioral theories and the neurophysiology of reward,
- Annu. Rev. Psychol.
, 2006
"... ■ Abstract The functions of rewards are based primarily on their effects on behavior and are less directly governed by the physics and chemistry of input events as in sensory systems. Therefore, the investigation of neural mechanisms underlying reward functions requires behavioral theories that can ..."

Another measure of uncertainty is the entropy of information theory, which might be appropriate to use when dealing with information processing
