Emotions involve complex processes produced by i n te rac t i ons between motives/ b e l i e f s / percepts , e t c . E.g. real or imagined f u l f i l m e n t or v i o l a t i o n of a mot ive/ or t r i g g e r i n g of a 'mot ive-genera tor ' / can d i s tu rb processes produced by other mot ives. To understand emotions/ t he re fo re / we need to understand motives and the types of processes...

We describe simulations that illustrate the possibility for manipulating the position correlation of atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) using the dipole– dipole interaction. The control scheme utilizes a narrow band laser that is detuned to the high-frequency side of a single-photon Rydberg transition in an isolated atom. As two atoms move near each other, they can be laser excited to repell...

The factor transducer of a word associates to each of its factors (or subwc~rds) their first occurrence. Optimal bounds on the size of minimal factor transducers together with an algorithm for building them are given. Analogue results and a simple algorithm are given for the case of subsequential suffix transducers. Algorithms are applied to repetition searching in words. Rl~sum~. Le transducte...

In this paper, we describe the design steps of extending LAOS, a five-layer framework for generic adaptive web learning authoring, by adding a social layer to capture (and adapt) information from 1) collaborative authoring (i.e. editing the content of other learners, describing the content using tags, rating the content, and commenting on the content, etc); and 2) authoring for collaboration (i...

Three-dimensional multiple object tracking (3D-MOT) is a perceptual-cognitive training system based on a 3D virtual environment. This is the first study to examine the effects of 3D-MOT training on attention, working memory, and visual information processing speed as well as using functional brain imaging on a normative population. Twenty university-aged students were recruited and divided into...

This chapter states and explains that a Learning Design is the result of a knowledge engineering process where knowledge and competencies, learning design, media and delivery models are constructed in an integrated framework. Consequently, we present our MOT+ general graphical language and editor that help construct structured interrelated visual models. The MOT+LD editor is the newly added spe...

Adaptive Hypermedia content offers personalization. However, (re-)using such material with regular Learning Management Systems is not yet straightforward. Ideally, materials created once should be usable anywhere. One such vehicle for reusability is represented by e-learning standards. Thus, here we describe the extension and evaluation of My Online Teacher (MOT), an adaptive hypermedia authori...
