Adaptation and Personalization systems can benefit with the incorporation of ontological knowledge, especially when it comes to modeling users. In this paper we present a cognitive approach to Web Personalization based on an ontology that contains users' cognitive factors. Accordingly, a human factors' ontology has been designed and developed using RDFa, and could be used in any Web-based application...
Eye-tracking measurements may be used as a method of identifying userspsila actual behavior in a hypermedia setting. In this research, an eye-tracking experiment was conducted in order to validate the construct of cognitive style as a personalization parameter in adaptive e-Learning systems. The main research question was whether the verbalizer/imager axis of the cognitive style analysis theory reflects...
Research on modelling affect and on interfaces adaptation based on affective factors has matured considerably over the past several years. Emotions are considered to play a central role in guiding and regulating learning, performance, behaviour and decision making, by modulating numerous cognitive and physiological activities. The basic objective of this paper is to analyse the way that individuals...
In order to assess the positive effect and validity of personalization on the basis of users' cognitive and emotional characteristics, this study presents three subsequent experiments. The first experiment explores the relationship of cognitive style and users' eye gaze behavior as to validate this specific psychological construct in the context of educational hypermedia. The second and third experiments...
Research on modelling affect and on interfaces adaptation based on affective factors has matured considerably over the past several years, so that designers of educational products are now considering the inclusion of components that take affect into account. Emotions are considered to play a central role in guiding and regulating behaviour by modulating numerous cognitive and physiological activities...
Individual differences in information processing, as derived from an approach that takes into account cognitive and emotional parameters, serve as a basis for setting a theoretical framework that addresses user profiling issues in web environments. This paper presents empirical results of two distinct efforts to built and evaluate personalized applications in the field of education and commercial...
Adapting to user context, individual features and behaviour patterns is a topic of great attention nowadays in the field of Web-based and mobile learning. A challenge is to design personalized interfaces and software enabling easy access to the learning content while being sufficiently flexible to handle changes in a user's context, perception and available resources. This paper presents a Web-based...
This paper presents a Web adaptation and personalization architecture that uses cognitive aspects as its core filtering element. The innovation of the proposed architecture focuses upon the creation of a comprehensive user profiling that combines parameters that analyze the most intrinsic users' characteristics like visual, cognitive, and emotional processing parameters as well as the "traditional"...
