The spaces of "Deep Mapping": A partial account (2011)
Journal Article
Biggs, I. (2011). The spaces of "Deep Mapping": A partial account. Journal of Arts and Communities, 2(1), 5-25. https://doi.org/10.1386/jaac.2.1.5_1

This article sets out an understanding of the emergent practices collectively referred to as `deep mapping'. It adopts Mike Pearson's view that the optimal deep mapping takes `region as its optic' (2006), while also recognizing the value of smaller-s...

Operationalizing and measuring language dominance (2011)
Journal Article
Treffers-Daller, J. (2011). Operationalizing and measuring language dominance. International Journal of Bilingualism, 15(2), 147-163. https://doi.org/10.1177/1367006910381186

The aim of this article is to show how measures of lexical richness (Guiraud, 1954; Malvern, Richards, Chipere, & Durán, 2004) can be used to operationalize and measure language dominance among bilinguals. A typology of bilinguals is proposed based o... Read More about Operationalizing and measuring language dominance.

Language dominance in Turkish-German bilinguals: Methodological aspects of measurements in structurally different languages (2011)
Journal Article
Başbaĝi, R., Yildiz, C., Daller, M. H., de Jong, N. H., & Kan, S. (2011). Language dominance in Turkish-German bilinguals: Methodological aspects of measurements in structurally different languages. International Journal of Bilingualism, 15(2), 215-236. https://doi.org/10.1177/1367006910381197

The purpose of this study is to establish measures of language dominance in bilinguals who speak structurally different languages, in our case German and Turkish, with tools that are based on fluency and oral proficiency. A 'balanced' bilingual with... Read More about Language dominance in Turkish-German bilinguals: Methodological aspects of measurements in structurally different languages.

Phenomenology and its application in medicine (2011)
Journal Article
Carel, H. (2011). Phenomenology and its application in medicine. Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, 32(1), 33-46. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11017-010-9161-x

Phenomenology is a useful methodology for describing and ordering experience. As such, phenomenology can be specifically applied to the first person experience of illness in order to illuminate this experience and enable health care providers to enha...

Transfer of conceptualization patterns in bilinguals: The construal of motion events in Turkish and German (2011)
Journal Article
Furman, R., Daller, M. H., Daller, M., & Treffers-Daller, J. (2011). Transfer of conceptualization patterns in bilinguals: The construal of motion events in Turkish and German. Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 14(1), 95-119. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1366728910000106

In the present article we provide evidence for the occurrence of transfer of conceptualization patterns in narratives of two German-Turkish bilingual groups. All bilingual participants grew up in Germany, but only one group is still resident in Germa...

QTIMaps: A model to enable web maps in assessment (2011)
Journal Article
Navarrete, T., Santos, P., Hernández-Leo, D., & Blat, J. (2011). QTIMaps: A model to enable web maps in assessment. Journal of Educational Technology and Society, 14(3), 203-217

Test-based e-Assessment approaches are mostly focused on the assessment of knowledge and not on that of other skills, which could be supported by multimedia interactive services. This paper presents the QTIMaps model, which combines the IMS QTI stand... Read More about QTIMaps: A model to enable web maps in assessment.

School based working memory training: Preliminary finding of improvement in children's mathematical performance (2011)
Journal Article
Witt, M. (2011). School based working memory training: Preliminary finding of improvement in children's mathematical performance. Advances in Cognitive Psychology, 7(1), 7-15. https://doi.org/10.2478/v10053-008-0083-3

Working memory is a complex cognitive system responsible for the concurrent storage and processing of information. Given that a complex cognitive task like mental arithmetic clearly places demands on working memory (e.g., in remembering partial resul...
