Tosatto, Laure; Fagot, Joël; Nemeth, Dezso; Rey, Arnaud – Cognitive Science, 2022
Chunking mechanisms are central to several cognitive processes and notably to the acquisition of visuo-motor sequences. Individuals segment sequences into chunks of items to perform visuo-motor tasks more fluidly, rapidly, and accurately. However, the exact dynamics of chunking processes in the case of extended practice remain unclear. Using an…

Malgieri, Massimiliano; Rosi, Tommaso; Onorato, Pasquale; Oss, Stefano – Physics Education, 2018
We present an educational approach to the phenomenon of phosphorescent emission. The approach is based on a stochastic toy model, in which electron states are represented by rows of squares on a cardboard table, and coins on the squares switch from one row to the other based on the roll of two dice. The discussion of different mechanisms, giving…
