Designing Interfaces that Stimulate Ideational Fluency in Science
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research investigated how the presence, basic features, and match of interface input capabilities to a task domain can either stimulate or impede thinking about science. Students’ hypothesis generation in biology was compared while they used: (1) non-digital paper and pencil tools, (2) a digital paper and pen interface, (3) pen tablet interface, and (4) keyboard-based graphical tablet interface with a supplementary pen. Results showed that students expressed 44

Gray matter correlates of creative potential: A latent variable voxel-based morphometry study
There is increasing research interest in the structural and functional brain correlates underlying creative potential. Recent investigations found that interindividual differences in creative potential relate to volumetric differences in brain regions belonging to the default mode network, such as the precuneus. Yet, the complex interplay between creative potential, intelligence, and personalit...
متن کاملDesigning the Application of Verbal Fluency Test in Persian for Neurocognitive Evaluations
Verbal fluency test is a useful method to evaluate cognitive executive functions. Studies have shown that both types of verbal fluency test (phonemic and semantic) are influenced by brain damage. This test is rarely used by clinicians because it takes too much time to perform. Therefore, we decided to increase its speed and accuracy by designing a verbal fluency test application in Persian lang...
متن کاملGenerating novel ideas: fluency performance in high-functioning and learning disabled individuals with autism.
Tasks of fluency tap the ability to generate multiple responses spontaneously following a single cue or instruction. The present study compared the fluency performance of subjects with autism and clinical control subjects at two different levels of ability (high-functioning subjects with a verbal IQ of 76 or greater, and globally learning disabled subjects with a verbal IQ of 74 or below). A ba...
متن کاملAn Ounce of Preventative Research Design Is Worth a Ton of Statistical Analysis Cure
This response addresses the data analysis issues raised by Wierenga and van Bruggen (1998) concerning Massetti (1998). Their analysis suggestions were performed and resulted in no significant differences between the treatment conditions. However, these analyses are misleading because of normality and variance problems present in Massetti’s dataset. Specifically, not controlling for individual p...
متن کاملWithin-person trial-to-trial variability precedes and predicts cognitive decline in old and very old age: longitudinal data from the Berlin Aging Study.
Neurocomputational modeling and empirical evidence suggest that losses in neuronal signaling fidelity cause senescent changes in behavior. We applied structural equation modeling to five-occasion 13-year longitudinal data from the Berlin Aging Study (n=447; age range at t1=70-102 years) to test whether trial-to-trial reaction time variability in perceptual speed (identical pictures) antecedes a...
