Research Strategies: How Psychologists Ask and Answer Questions

Psychologists construct theories that organize observations and imply testable hypotheses. In their research, they use case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation to describe behavior; correlation to assess the relationship between variables; and experimentation to uncover cause-effect relationships. Researchers use statistics to describe their data, to assess relationships between vari...

ASK: Active Spam Killer

We present Active Spam Killer (ASK), a program that attempts to validate unknown senders before allowing delivery of their message. Validation occurs by means of a challenge reply sent to senders who are not yet known to the system. Messages are kept in a queue pending confirmation until the sender replies to the challenge. Further messages coming from confirmed senders are delivered immediatel...

Compiling Ask Constraints

In this paper we investigate how to extend a generic constraint solver that provides not only tell constraints (by adding the constraint to the store) but also ask tests (by checking whether the constraint is entailed by the store), with general ask constraints. Ask constraints are important for implementing constraint implication, extensible solvers using dynamic scheduling and reification. Wh...
