- #22 types ofmemory, corresponding to the following typesof knowledge: declarative, procedural, sensory,episodic, attentional and intentional.The first four of these memory types arestandard in cognitive science [9,10]. Attentionalknowledge is knowledge pertaining to whichentities within the system should get space andtime resources at a given moment; this is closelyrelated to the notion of consciousness [11].Intentional knowledge refers to the system’soverall goals and derived subgoals (which maybe continually revised by the system’s activity
- #23 VEs in training procedural memory). Pursuit-rotor learning Mirror tracingSerial Retention Time TaskPouring taske.g. retention of procedural knowledge, procedural memory consolidation, procedural learningImplicit learning focuses on generalization to new stimuli rather than the sensitivity to processing the same stimulus again (implicit memory)
- #24 The quintessential paradigm for studying procedural learning is the serial reaction time (SRT) task [43], in which subjects press keysas quickly as possible in response to stimuli that appear in various locations on the screen. A large response time improvement is observed when the stimulus sequence isrepeated, even when subjects are unaware that a sequence exists. In addition, changing the location of the response keys interferes with SRT learning, but changing the fingers that push the keys does not [44]. Thus, if procedural learning is used in information-integration tasks then switching the locations of the response keys should interfere with learning, but switching the fingers that depress the keys should not.
- #25 Those with strong bodily-kinesthetic intelligence seem to use what might be termed muscle memory - they remember things through their body such as verbal memory or images.Procedural memory is the long-term memory of skills and procedures, or "how to" knowledge (procedural knowledge).
- #26 Combines features of web2.0 instant messaging, voice chat, real time social networkingSL is good to mount formal experiments in social psy or cognitive science because the researcher can construct a facility comparable to a lab and can recruit online subjects. low costWoW may be better for nonintrusive statistical methodologies examining social networks and economic systems, because it naturally generates a vast trove of diverse butstandardized data about social and economic interactions. Both allow users to create new software modules to extract data. WoW is a very conducive environment forquantitative research because it encourages individuals to write “mod” or “add-on” programs, and scientists can use some existing software as research tools or write their ownOnline virtual worlds illustrate well the deficienciesof the Internet (46), notably its highlatency (slow packet delivery speed) and lowbandwidth (amount of information that can bedelivered in a given period of time). WoW managesthe bandwidth problem by placing all thegraphics on the users’ computers, but this meansthat they cannot create their own objects and atbest can assemble existing components. Thiswould not work for SL, because the whole pointis to empower users to create everything in theirvirtual world from scratch themselves. The penaltyfor SL users is a delay whenever the avatarmoves to a new location, because all the specificationsfor the environment must be downloadedfrom the server, often thousands of milesaway.
