This study investigated the relationships between children's secure base and emotion regulation, namely their behavioral strategies and emotional expressiveness, during different situational and social contexts in naturalistic settings. Fifty-five children ranging in age from 18 to 26 months of age and their mothers participated in this study. Children were exposed to three situational (fear, p...

The growing use and success of M&S in military-defense activities begs several questions. First, what situational factors and conditions make the use of M&S a critical enabler for maintaining U.S. military-defense operational and tactical readiness? Second, can we postulate that identical or similar situational factors and conditions could identify other industries and markets positioned for br...

Domain applications in planning vary in the extent to which situational uncertainty can undermine the ability of an agent to act successfully. For domains in which observation alone is unable to render the outcome to a situation certain enough to inform action, plan recognition plays a crucial role in dynamically modelling situational outcomes. It also diminishes the need to sense situational i...

Robot navigation in urban environments requires situational reasoning. Given the complexity of the environment and the behavior specified by traffic rules, it is necessary to recognize the current situation to impose the correct traffic rules. In an attempt to manage the complexity of the situational reasoning subsystem, this paper describes a finite state machine model to govern the situationa...

Human adults can acquire word-referent pairs from a short series of individually ambiguous situations containing multiple words and referents (Yu & Smith, 2007). Cross-situational statistical learning is sufficient for learners to passively acquire word-object pairs, as long as words co-occur with their correct referent multiple times in different contexts. However, learners in the real world a...

Some overall method characteristics, such as agility and scalability, have become increasingly important. These characteristics are different from existing method requirements which focus on the functional purposes of individual method chunks and overall methods. Characteristics like agility and scalability are often not embodied in the function of a single method chunk but are instead reflecte...

This paper gives a formal theory of presupposition using situation semantics developed by Barwise and Perry, We will slightly modify Barwise and Perry's original theory of situation semantics so that we can deal with non-monotonic reasonings which are very important for the formalization of presupposition in natural language. This aspect is closely related to the formalization of incomplete kno...

Situational strength theory has been used as a theoretical underpinning of person–situation processes that are linked to job performance. Accordingly, the link between personality traits and performance increases in weak situations. Building on this research, similar mechanisms have proposed for simulation-based selection tools, such Judgment Tests (SJTs), explain how these measures work predic...
