It is common knowledge that attention is important for learning. We need to utilize attention in order to learn something efficiently and effectively. Similarly, we may also need to acquire familiarity with (i.e., learn) our surroundings in order to utilize our attention. In this study, learning is defined as a product of one's exposure to natural visual stimuli. Using a virtual model of a natural scene, we investigate both attention and its relationship to learning, according to this definition. Specifically, our focus is the effect of environment familiarity on gaze direction. Our findings reveal that the factor of familiarity with one's surroundings in virtual reality environments exerts a significant influence on peoples' ability to detect a variety of specific changes that occur within scenes under their observation.

Social argumentation in online synchronous communication Alagoz, Esra (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-12-01) The ability to argue well is a valuable skill for students in both formal and informal learning environments. While many studies have explored the argumentative practices in formal environments and some researchers have developed tools to enhance the argumentative skills, the social argumentation that is occurring in informal spaces has yet to be broadly investigated. The challenges associated with observing and capturing the interactions in authentic settings can be identified as the main reasons for this ...
Recognition memory for emotional words under incidental encoding : effects of valance, arousal and age Kaynak, Hande; Gökçay, Didem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2013) Emotional information is commonly assumed to be recognized more accurately than neutral information. While emotionality enhances recognition accuracy, it also induces a more liberal response bias. In this study, the effects of arousal and valence axes of emotion on recognition memory accuracy and liberal bias were examined in young and older adults, for emotional words. For this purpose, memory was assessed with a surprise old/new recognition task, based on Signal Detection Theory. There are also some facto...
Rejection Sensitivity, Self-Esteem Instability, and Relationship Outcomes The Mediating Role of Responsibility Attributions Goncu, Asli; Sümer, Nebi (Hogrefe Publishing Group, 2011-01-01) This study examined whether responsibility attributions for self and partner behaviors differentially mediate the link between rejection sensitivity (RS), unstable self-esteem (USE), and relationship outcomes (i.e., violence and silencing the self, STS). Individuals in dating relationships in Turkey (N = 177) completed the measures of attributions for self and partner behaviors, RS, USE, violence, and STS. The results indicated that RS and USE had indirect effects on violence via attributions for partner be...
Discourse Analysis of Interpersonal Meaning to Understand the Discrepancy between Teacher Knowing and Practice Ilhan, Emine Gul Celebi; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (2016-08-01) As is well known, bridging teacher knowledge or learning with practice is not a straightforward task. This paper aims to explore this discrepancy between a mathematics teacher's knowing and practices and to offer ways of alignment between the two based on the social/interpersonal meanings and their realization through teacher's discourse. In this study, we utilized discourse analysis of interpersonal meanings within a high school mathematics class mainly by focusing on the mathematics teacher's discourse. W...
Öğrenme stratejileri teorik boyutları araştırma bulguları ve uygulama için ortaya koyduğu sonuçlar Somuncuoğlu, Yeşim (1998-01-01) Bu makalede, etkili öğrenme sürecinin işlevsel bir boyutu olarak görülen öğrenme stratejilerinin teorik temelleri ve bu konuda yapılan araştırmaların sonuçları incelenmiş, öğrenme stratejilerinin program geliştirme ve öğretim süreci yönünden ortaya koyduğu bazı önemli uygulama sonuçları tartışılmıştır.
