Real-world expectations and their affective value modulate object processing

Real World Privacy Expectations in VANETs

Vehicular communication technology is nearing deployment in the market. We see initial plug tests in 2013 to confirm interoperability of multiple independent implementations. As the entrance into the market is coming closer it is time to consider the privacy expectations of the relevant standards. These expectations are built upon location privacy through unlinkable pseudonyms. In this paper we...

Infants' object category formation and use: Real-world context effects on category use in object processing

The fusion of real and virtual worlds is becoming one of the most important issues in computer technology for 21st century. In this paper, three timely topics, real world video avatar, wearable computers and ubiquitous media space, are introduced. Although they appear to have different philosophies, but there are aiming to the larger concept: real world information processing. Careful integrati...

Smog, Cognition and Real-World Decision-Making

Cognitive functioning is critical as in our daily life a host of real-world complex decisions in high-stakes markets have to be made. The decision-making process can be vulnerable to environmental stressors. Summarizing the growing economic and epidemiologic evidence linking air pollution, cognition performance and real-world decision-making, we first illustrate key physiological and psychologi...
