Studying episodic memory in nonhuman animals has proved difficult because definitions in humans require conscious recollection. Here, we assessed humans' experience of episodic-like recognition memory tasks that have been used with animals. It was found that tasks using contextual information to discriminate events could only be accurately performed using recollection, not familiarity. However,...

Three realities (mindscapes) used in constructing knowledge and their traditional research methodologies are discussed as a basis for proposing a research agenda and strategy for rural education. In order to study rural education, the authors propose the use of conceptual empiricism and contextual appraisal consisting of four domains; personal (self), instruction (class), institutional (school)...

This paper is a comment on Contextual Design, a method frame proposed by Beyer & Holtzblatt (1998) for redesigning work in conjunction with developing technological support for this work. It is scrutinized in which ways Contextual Design is a participatory approach and in which ways Contextual Design is suitable for capturing practices, meanings and challenges in the work environments to be red...

Automatic Construction of a Contextual Valence Shifters Lexicon The research presented in this paper takes place in the field of Opinion Mining, which is mainly devoted to assigning a positive or negative label to a text or a sentence. The context of a highly polarized word plays an essential role, as it can modify its original polarity. The present work addresses this issue and focuses on the ...

In opinion mining, many linguistic structures, called contextual valence shifters, may modify the prior polarity of items. Some systems of sentiment analysis have tried to take these shifters into account, but few studies have focused on the identification of all these structures and their impact

Designing 3D objects from scratch is difficult, especially when the user intent is fuzzy and lacks a clear target form. We facilitate design by providing reference and inspiration from existing model contexts. We rethink model design as navigating through different possible combinations of part assemblies based on a large collection of pre-segmented 3D models. We propose an interactive sketch-t...

Recent explorations on the science or theory of computer security have been hindered by its unique properties. We confront this by precisely defining those properties: that computer security is adversarial and engineered, and that because of this it is contextual. We use these definitions to address the practical question of how we can justify the validity of our methods. To answer this meta-me...

Bio-entity name recognition is the key step for information extraction from biomedical literature. This paper presents a dictionary-based bio-entity name recognition approach. The approach expands the bio-entity name dictionary via the Abbreviation Definitions identifying algorithm, improves the recall rate through the improved edit distance algorithm and adopts some post-processing methods inc...

The right temporoparietal junction (R TPJ) is involved in stimulus-driven attentional control in response to the appearance of an unexpected target or a distractor that shares features with a task-relevant target. An unresolved question is whether these responses in R TPJ are due simply to the presence of a stimulus that is a potential target, or instead responds to any task-relevant informatio...
