The “Longer” Picturebook: Taking a Fresh Perspective

A Fresh Perspective

”Painting is an activity, and the artist will therefore tend to see what he paints rather than to paint what he sees.” E.H. Gombrich. While general trends in computer graphics continue to drive towards more photorealistic imagery, increasing attention is also being devoted to painterly renderings of computer generated scenes. Whereas artists using traditional media almost always deviate from th...

Taking a fresh perspective: Vicarious restoration as a means of recovering self-control

a r t i c l e i n f o In the realm of self-regulation, recent work shows that the state of ego depletion can be vicariously transmitted from a target to a perceiver simply by imagining the perspective of a depleted target (i.e., vicarious depletion ; Ackerman et al., 2009). The present study asked whether such vicarious effects can extend to the domain of self-regulatory recovery. In Experiment...

I-5: Cancellation of Fresh Embryo Transfer: A Future Perspective

Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) affects adversely implantation following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. COH with gonadotropins alters endometrial receptivity and luteal function. In addition periovulatory endometrial characteristics in stimulated cycles are considerably different compared with the natural cycles, and periovulatory secretory transformation is consistently ...

Taking a Fresh Look at ISIL

A Control Perspective on Imaginal Perspective Taking

This contribution presents a computational cognitive model of imaginal perspective taking (IPT). The model is shown to account for major effects observed in IPT as well as concrete human data from an IPT experiment. Model development was based on the observation that control mechanisms play a central role in IPT performance. In taking this approach, model development and the model itself reveal...
