Examining Computer–Supported 3D Event Recreation for Enhancing Cognitive Load, Memorability, and Engagement

Examining Technology Resistance: A Cognitive Load Perspective

Technology adoption has been studied through two perspectives – of acceptance and of resistance. While acceptance has been sufficiently researched, resistance is understudied resulting in a less comprehensive understanding of technology adoption. This study examines technology resistance within the framework of task-technology interaction. Task-technology interaction has been defined based on t...

CEVO: Comprehensive EVent Ontology Enhancing Cognitive Annotation

While the general analysis of named entities has received substantial research attention, the analysis of relations over named entities has not. In fact, a review of the literature on unstructured as well as structured data revealed a deficiency in research on the abstract conceptualization required to organize relations. We believe that such an abstract conceptualization can benefit various co...

Enhancing computerized cognitive rehabilitation with 3D solutions

In recent years, cognitive rehabilitation is shifting from paperbased to computer-based practice. Computerization entails several advantages, among which the availability of a great amount of stimuli to be used within a wide range of easily customizable exercise types and the possibility to monitor the evolution of a patient's skills through the storage of his performance data into a database. ...

High-level speech event analysis for cognitive load classification

The Cognitive Load (CL) refers to the load imposed on an individual’s cognitive system when performing a given task, and is usually associated with the limitations of the human working memory. Stress, fatigue, lower ability to make decisions and perceptual narrowing are induced by cognitive overload which occurs when too much information has to be processed. As many physiological measures and f...
