A number of computational techniques have been proposed that aim to detect mimicry in online conversations. In this paper, we investigate how well these reflect the prevailing cognitive science model, i.e. the Interactive Alignment Model. We evaluate Local Linguistic Alignment, word vectors, and Language Style Matching and show that these measures tend to show the features we expect to see in the...
To perform successfully interdisciplinary engineering tasks, engineers need a systems view, in other words, a high capacity for engineering systems thinking (CEST). Systems thinking is a major high-order thinking skill that enables individuals to successfully perform systems engineering tasks. Industrial engineers who work in complex, multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary reality need to view systems...
This paper outlines five concept questions from Statics and Mechanics of Materials from which instructors can easily learn about student thinking when the students select incorrect answers. These questions represent vertical transfer assessment tools and show the potential of using such questions. They can be used as part of a pre-test or in some other manner such as a warm-up exercise. The questions...
Nowadays it is becoming common for more and more people to work remotely in an online virtual space. Even the virtual presence of the partner means a difference in quality when engaged in a cooperative task. The purpose of this paper is to analyze social interactions in a virtual workspace. Earlier researches about the psychological features of online, remote, and virtual collaborations are also summarized...
Responses to risky choices were collected and analyzed in a continuous, engaging and decomposable risk taking task; a slightly modified version of BART (Balloon Analog Risk Task [1]). Pupil dilation data throughout the experiment were collected and analyzed to understand participants' physiological expressions under risky choices. Participants were also administered a survey, prior to the experiment...
Intensity of human causal induction is expressed by statistical models in cognitive science. A statistical index, pARIs, which is one of the models of human causal induction, has good performance on some tests. The form of pARIs is nearly equal to one of Jaccard index. However, it has not been known yet why pARIs can be related to intensity of human causal induction. In this study, we propose pARIX...
Presence or feel being located in virtual environment can make the Virtual Reality application more effective. One type of Virtual Reality application is Image-based Virtual Reality application; which defined as the panoramic virtual environment that mimic the real environment which users can interact with. Due to the limited interaction function, none research exists between Image-based Virtual Reality...
The overwhelming amounts of digital images on the Web and personal computers have triggered the requirement of an effective tool to retrieve images of interest using semantic concepts. Due to the semantic gap between low level content features and its high level semantic features of an image, however, the performances of many existing automatic image annotation algorithms are not so satisfactory....
Prediction and evaluation errors of self-performance (overestimation and underestimation) sometimes bring serious consequences. The present study examined possible causes for over- and under-estimations by using a newly devised task-transfer paradigm. The experiment consisted of two sessions. In the first learning session, participants learned rules for button presses in response to particular combinations...
Learning in biomedical engineering is highly interdisciplinary: students need to integrate concepts between engineering and life sciences, and be able to design and develop technologies with physiological considerations. In this study, biomedical engineering students' artifacts were analyzed in detail according to the structure-behavior-framework (SBF) framework. The SBF framework has been investigated...
Interest is a main factor for elementary student in learning mathematics. Based on theories of mental mode, tactic and implicit knowledge, blended with features of animation resources, this paper found that animation as a bridge between abstract mathematics knowledge and elementary mental models help them learn knowledge, and described relationships among them. The authors found animations would be...
Enterprises are confronted with the challenge of reengineering technological capability during industry conversion. Tacit knowledge accumulated in the former industry is vital for reengineering new technological capability. The research aims at the effective approach to realize tacit knowledge transfer within enterprises during industry conversion. Therefore, the process of tacit knowledge transfer...
Research and development teams ( R&D teams) is commonly used in organizations today to solve problems and accomplish creative tasks. But there is little known about the variables that affect team-level creativity, and the optimal conditions that promote it, and how to design team for optimal creative and high quality performance. Because the idea of creative synergy has much to offer in terms...
