In two studies, we provide a test of the revealed-preferences account of choice-induced preferences. To do so, we introduce a blind two-choice task in which preferences cannot guide choices. Children chose between two similar objects while ignorant of the objects’ identities, and then chose between the rejected alternative and a third similar object. Monkeys were given an illusion of choice bet...

This paper presents some results of PLA area optimizing by means of its column and row folding. A more restricted type of PLA simple folding is considered. It is introduced by Egan and Liu and called as bipartite folding. An efficient approach is presented which allows finding an optimal bipartite folding without exhaustive computational efforts.

In 1981, famous engineer William F. Egan conjectured that a higher-order type 2 PLL with an infinite hold-in range also has pull-in range, and supported his conjecture some third-order implementations. Although it is known for the second-order PLLs are both infinite, this brief shows not valid in general. We provide implementation of PLL, which experiences stable oscillations. This naturally po...

Kieran Ferris / Liam Bannon Interaction Design Centre University of Limerick Ireland [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The Cardboard Box Garden (CBG) originated from a shared dissatisfaction with current computer technology as it is presented to children. This paper shall briefly review the process involved in the creation of this installation, from motivation through to design and...
