Innovation on e-assessment is presented. Here, 43 bachelor students´ conceptual definitions to a course schema related concepts are obtained by using a natural semantic network technique. This allowed implementing a constructive assessment technique of students´ that is complemented by a responsive assessment of student´s learning based on semantic priming studies. It is argued that by using both assessment approaches in a dynamic mutually constrained way a new alternative approach to eassessment can be implemented. This system presents several innovative advantages that empower students and teachers to monitor what actually takes place over the trajectory of a student learning process.
Eye gaze correlates to emotion face recognition were obtained from a sample with Down syndrome (DS) as well as from a sample of typical individuals to look for gaze pattern differences between both. The goal was to determine if possible face scanning patterns might be related to different styles of cognitive automatic processing of emotion faces information. First, after IQ control, participants were required to take an affective priming study. This emotion recognition studies allowed appropriate selection of DS showing typical negative face recognition difficulties. Then, both samples took a formative eye tracking study in order to identify gaze correlates typifying them. Results showed that participants with DS have atypical eye fixation patterns regarding emotion faces recognition. In particular, they seem to intentionally avoid fixating on the eyes of presented photographs of emotion faces. This face scanning patterns might contribute to their difficulties to recognize negative face information. It is argued that this kind of cognitive processing of emotion facial information obeys to an acquired affective style.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
