The effects of implicit, explicit, and synergistic training on learning an artificial grammar

Participants were trained to generate exemplars of an artificial grammar by bubbling-in letters from exemplars (implicit training), observing a diagram of the grammar then reproducing it (explicit training), or tracing the path of exemplars through a diagram of the grammar (synergistic training). Performance was measured using a cued-generate task. It provided a template for an exemplar with two letters filled in. Participants attempted to generate exemplars that fit the template. The computer corrected the exemplar when it matched at least 70% of the letters in a valid string. Results showed that both explicit and synergistic training led to generation of better quality exemplars (closer to 100% match). However, implicit and synergistic training led to generating more exemplars good enough (at least 70% match) to fit into a wide variety of contextual cues. The author concluded that for both quality and generativity of exemplars synergistic training seemed the most beneficial

Modelo experimental para la detección, adquisición de competencias y definición de perfiles profesionales en el sector multimedia de las empresas TIC

The contribution of this investigation will be basically towards the display and definition of the profiles and their professional abilities within the multimedia sector of the TIC companies. It also provides the detection, promotion and orientation of the needs for sufficient training. This investigation is concerned with the detection of training requirements needed by a professional in the multimedia industry of the TIC sector by means of defining his or her professional abilities. Any detected deficiencies will be the basis for training course recommendations for a particular professional profile. They will have the support from the training programmes of the LAM (Laboratory of Multimedia Applications) based on a training model that we call "hybrid". This is used for the production and integration of training matters and for virtual places of learning.Abilities are detected by means of deliberately sampled questionnaires. Weaknesses are detected by evaluating knowledge gained.The method has been applied to other profiles and in other professional sectors
