The influence of Need for Cognition, cognitive abilities and expertise on complex problem-solving was examined. A ‘Need for Cognition’ questionnaire, a cognitive abilities test and five complex problems were presented to a group of experts (Experiment 1) and to a group of novices (Experiment 2). Generally, experts performed better on the complex problems than did novices. Experts low in cogniti...

We developed a novel concept of hybrid mixed force position control based on neu ral networks NFC Neural Force Control to signi cantly expand the range of manipulator applications NFC includes neural approaches for complex robotic mappings such as inverse dynamics and kinematics A Neural Dynamics Network NDN as the essential component of a computed torque controller performs a fast and adaptive...

Three studies explored the connection between social perception processes and individual differences in the use of affective and cognitive information in relation to attitudes. Study 1 revealed that individuals high in need for affect (NFA) accentuated differences in evaluations of warm and cold traits, whereas individuals high in need for cognition (NFC) accentuated differences in evaluations ...

We introduce a new method to modify films of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) to produce non-porous, water-resistant substrates for diagnostics. First, water resistant NFC films were prepared from mechanically disintegrated NFC hydrogel, and then their surfaces were carboxylated via TEMPO-mediated oxidation. Next, the topologically functionalized film was activated via EDS/NHS chemistry, and its...

Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Gestaltung von Interaction Design Patterns für Near Field Communication (NFC)-basierte Electronic Data Capture Anwendungen. Basis hierfür bilden das Design, die Entwicklung und die Evaluierung zweier mobiler NFC-basierter Anwendungen zur Selbstbewertung des Gesundheitszustandes. Als Domäne für die Anwendung der Interaction Design Patterns wird das Gesundheits...

This field experiment examined the impact of an individual's need for cognition (NFC; the tendency to enjoy thinking deeply about issues), complex versus simple messages, and the interaction of NFC and message type on encouraging fruit and vegetable consumption. Callers to the Cancer Information Service of the National Cancer Institute (N=517) were asked to participate in the experiment at the ...

The moderating role of individual difference variables (Self-Reported Habit Index [SRHI], Need for Cognition [NFC]) on relationships between implicit (Implicit Association Test [IAT], Extrinsic Affective Simon Test [EAST]) or explicit measures of attitude and behavior is assessed in two studies. A dissociation pattern is found on self-report diary measures of behavior. In Study 1, the EAST-beha...

New mobile ticketing services include travel card functionality in mobile phones, providing users with numerous benefits. However, several open issues still pose limitations for these services, including the diffusion of the enabling technology called Near Field Communication (NFC), concerns about security and privacy, as well as uncertainties in the related value networks and business models. ...

Laboratorium Telematika dalam kesehariannya bertugas melakukan pelayanan baik peminjaman alat, praktikum maupun kunjungan dari institusi lain. Terkait kunjungan, ketersediaan informasi perangkat yang ada menjadi kebutuhan utama. Karena itu, digunakanlah teknologi NFC terdapat pada kebanyakan model smartphone baru sehingga mahasiswa dan pengunjung tidak bergantung asisten laboratorium untuk bisa...
