Cognitive scripts can act as a basis for representing behavioral tasks and domain knowledge in cognitive systems. Each event in a cognitive script is either temporally or causally linked with preceding and succeeding events. This temporal progression of events is what provides context to a particular cognitive script. In other words, it is this linking that provides a deeper explanation of a ke...

System testing of a GUI-based application requires that test cases, consisting of sequences of user actions/events, be executed and the software’s output be verified. To enable automated re-testing, such test cases are increasingly being coded as low-level test scripts, to be replayed automatically using test harnesses. Whenever the GUI changes—widgets get moved around, windows get merged—some ...

A theory is presented to account for the development of habitual aggressive behavior during early childhood. It is argued that the aggressive child is one who has acquired aggressive scripts to guide behavior early in life. Once estahtihed these scripts become resistant to change and may even persist into adulthood. Aggressive scripts are acquired and maintained through both observational and e...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Reconstructions of ancestral character states are among the most widely used analyses for evaluating the morphological, cytological, or ecological evolution of an organismic lineage. The software application Mesquite remains the most popular application for such reconstructions among plant scientists, even though its support for automating complex analyses is limited. A sof...

This paper presents a study that tested the impact of audio description (AD) style on dimensions of presence (spatial presence, ecological validity, engagement and negative effects) in blind and visually impaired audiences. The participants were shown two fragments of a naturalistic drama with two styles of description: ‘standard’ and ‘creative’. While the former followed the principle of objec...
