Predictions from the applied model of imagery use (Martin, Moritz, & Hall, 1999) were tested by examining the perceived effectiveness of five imagery types in serving specific functions. Potential moderation effects of this relationship by imagery ability and perspective were also investigated. Participants were 155 athletes from 32 sports, and materials included a chart for rating imagery effe...

In creating an embodied conversational agent (ECA) capable of conveying routes, it is necessary to understand how to present spatial information in an effective and natural manner. When conveying routes to someone, a person uses multiple modalities e.g., speech, gestures, and reference to a map to present information, and it is important to know precisely how these modalities are coordinated. W...

During smooth pursuit eye movement performance often an illusory motion of background objects is perceived. This so called Filehne illusion has been quantified and explored by Mack and Herman [Q. J.exp. Psychol. 25, 71-84 (1973); Vision Res. 18, 55-62 (1978)]. According to them two independent factors contribute to the Filehne illusion: (1) a subject relative factor, viz. the underregistration ...

We investigate asymptotic approximations of two estimators of the conditional empirical process of Y given X= x, leading to a functional law of the iterated logarithm. Our main results show that the weak behavior of the conditional empirical processes at a given x is essentially the same as that of the empirical process, although the rates now depend on the bandwidth. We examine the kernel esti...

Since the first paper on polling systems, written by Mack in 1957, a huge number of papers on this topic has been written. A typical polling system consists of a number of queues, attended by a single server. In several surveys, the most notable ones written by Takagi, detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the mathematical analysis of polling systems are provided. The goal of the present s...

We examined the apparent dissociation of perceived length and perceived position with respect to the Müller-Lyer (M-L) illusion. With the traditional (two-chevron) figure, participants made accurate open-loop pointing responses at the endpoints of the shaft, despite the presence of a strong length illusion. This apparently non-Euclidean outcome replicated that of Mack, Heuer, Villardi, and Cham...

Anterior surgical approaches have been used for lower cervical, thoracic, and upper lumbar vertebrae since the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. Hodgson et al. were the first surgeons to perform spinal fusion with anterior approach for the treatment of a paraplegic patient with Pott’s disease in 1956. Cauchoix and Binet reported access to vertebral corpuses from C7 to T4 using a...
