In this paper we attempt to offer an overview of some of the various points of view, which coexist (Arata, 1999) within the broad term ‘Digital Interactivity’. We review identified characteristics of and constraints on interaction, then discuss important elements of digital interactivity (feedback, immersion and engagement, simulation, play, hypertext). We select link authoring and the construc...

ABSTRACT After it had been determined that reaction time (RT) was a sensitive measure of hemispheric dominance in a verbal task performed by normal adult readers, the reaction times of three groups of subjects (20 normal reading college students, 12 normal reading third graders and 11 poor reading grade school students) were compared. Ss were exposed to tachistoscopically presented slides With ...

The paper describes o system for deoling with nestings of belief in terms of the mechanism of computational environment. A method is offered for computing the beliefs of A about B (ond so on) in terms of the systems existing knowledge structures about A and B separately. A proposol for belief percolotion is put forward: percolation being a side effect of the process of the computation of nested...

Images like other multimedia data need to be described as it is difficult to grasp their semantics from the raw data. With the emergence of standards like MPEG-7, multimedia data will be more and more produced together some semantic descriptors. But a description of a multimedia data is just an interpretation, a point of view on the data and different interpretations can exist for the same mult...

Seventy two preschoolers and 72 second graders observed a model choc3e his "favorites" in a series of common object trios and where then asked to recall the model's choices. Children at each age witnessed the procedure under a fixed level of distraction, under instructions either to 'look' or 'remember', and under one of three vicarious consequence treatments (reward, neutral, pUnishment). A se...

Because previous reports have suggested that the lowered validity of tests scored with empirical option weights might be explained by a capitalization of the keying procedures on omitting tendencies, a procedure was devised to key options empirically with a "correction-for-guessing" constraint. Use of the new procedure with Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) data resulted in smaller increases i...
