The present study sought to unearth challenges capable of confounding the success of e-learning and elicit the best practices. A total of 382 (291 undergraduate and 90 postgraduate) students from the University of Cape Coast in Ghana participated in this cross-sectional survey study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, which was c...

Language modulation in a selective attention task by Spanish-English and Twi-English bilinguals as evidenced by positive and negative priming effects.
Article
Full-text available
A bilingual primed lexical decision task was used to investigate priming effects produced by attended and ignored words. Participants were required to name prime target words in their weaker (L2) language and then make lexical decisions to probe target items in their dominant (L1) language. Accelerated lexical decisions to probe target words result...

The ability to use multiple languages selectively is an impressive feat of the human information processing system. Although bilinguals scarcely commit random cross-language errors when they speak, there is evidence that both languages are active when one is in use. This article builds on previous work using a selective attention variant of cross-l...

Experiments examining identity priming from attended and ignored novel words (words that are used only once except when repetition is required due to experimental manipulation) in a lexical decision task are reported. Experiment 1 tested English monolinguals whereas Experiment 2 tested Twi (a native language of Ghana, Africa)-English bilinguals. Pa...
Article
Full-text available
In the current experiments, within- and between-language primed lexical decision tasks with Twi-English bilinguals were used. The aim was to explore the priming effects produced by attended and ignored words, in an effort to draw theoretical and empirical parallels and differences between the mechanisms of excitation and inhibition and to isolate t...

Restlessness has been associated with childhood developmental behaviour. Some children outlive this behaviour while in others, it persist and becomes a problem that prevents them from fulfilling their potentials. If such developmental behaviours are identified early they can be modified, otherwise they develop into serious disorders. Impulsive beha...
