ABSTRACT Research on the assessment of naturalistic inquiries is reviewed, and criteria for assessment are outlined. Criteria reviewed include early foundational and non-foundational criteria, trustworthiness criteria, axiomatic criteria, rhetorical criteria, action criteria, and application/transferability criteria. Case studies that are reports of naturalistic inquiries should meet the follow...

Human sensorimotor control has been predominantly studied using fixed tasks performed under laboratory conditions. This approach has greatly advanced our understanding of the mechanisms that integrate sensory information and generate motor commands during voluntary movement. However, experimental tasks necessarily restrict the range of behaviors that are studied. Moreover, the processes studied...

but does require sufficient real traffic and action data to capture the underlying relationship between states and actions. Therefore, ANN models estimate actions on the basis of the real state–action mapping of natural behavior. Data from the naturalistic driving database of the Naturalistic Truck Driving Study (NTDS) (1), collected by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and Blanco et a...

The contrasting age-related trends on laboratory and naturalistic prospective memory (PM) studies were investigated with the same participants. In the first two experiments, 380 participants in three age groups (20s, 60s, and 80+) were given a naturalistic PM task of logging the time at four set times for one week. There were six between-subjects regimens that varied the complexity of the time ...

This paper reports on a review of a number of well-known naturalistic decision making. NDM, models (Zsambok & Klein, 1997). Key features of these models were identified and were found to represent different views of the same naturalistic decision making process. The key features of these different views were then integrated into a single model called the Integrated Decision Model. To validate t...

The field of neuroscience is fast emerging with the various types intelligence becoming critical to overall wellbeing an individual. aim this study understand relationship between fingerprint patterns and multiple among young adults (18-26 years) in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Anambra state. Two hundred forty one subjects were enlisted study, comprising 140 females (58.1%) 101 males (41.9%). Eac...

Neurodevelopmental Engineering is a new interdisciplinary research area at the intersection of developmental neuroscience and bioengineering, mainly concerned with quantitative analysis and modeling of human behavior during neuro-development. Along such a line, our research focuses on early diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism, currently diagnosed after 3 years of age. We pr...

Significant progress has been made in automatic facial expression analysis using facial images and videos. The recognition reliability of most current approaches is still poor in naturalistic expressions compared to acted ones. Most of these methods use a static image of each expression that captures the characteristic image at the apex. However, according to psychologists, analyzing a sequence...

Large naturalistic driving studies give extremely detailed insight into how traffic accidents happen and what causes them. However, even in very large studies there are only relatively few crashes. Hence one additionally selects and studies crash surrogates, so called "near-crashes", i.e. situations when a crash almost happened. The selection procedures invariably entail severe risks of causing...

T theory, research and practice of naturalistic hypnosis and happiness is explored with the current STEM perspectives of science, technology engineering, and mathematics. The quantum electrodynamic field theory of naturalistic hypnosis was presented at the first meeting of The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH)that coincided with the founding of The American Journal of Clinical Hypnos...
