Equivalence of real-world and virtual-reality route learning: a pilot study.

30 Jul 2009 There is good evidence for effective transfer of learning from virtual to real-world environments, and this holds true even for complex spatial tasks such as route learning. However, there is little research into the simple equivalence of an ... Read more...

Transfer between pose and illumination training in face recognition.

30 Jul 2009 The relationship between pose and illumination learning in face recognition was examined in a yes-no recognition paradigm. The authors assessed whether pose training can transfer to a new illumination or vice versa. Results show that an extensive ... Read more...

Functional skill learning in men with traumatic brain injury.

29 Jun 2009 The number of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) having persistent deficits that compromise their ability to perform everyday skills is increasing. Previous occupation-based studies indicate that computer-based skills using repetitive practice ... Read more...
