Cognitive load theory is an instructional theory that uses our knowledge of human cognitive architecture, especially processing limitations of working memory, to enhance effectiveness of instructional design. This paper reviews main assumptions and principles of cognitive load theory and discusses their application to technology-based learning environments. The paper concludes with a brief intr...

Current perceptual algorithms are error-prone and require the use of additional ad hoc heuristic methods that detect and recover from these errors. In this paper we explore how existing architectural mechanisms in a high-level cognitive architecture like ACT-R can be used instead of such ad hoc measures. In particular, we describe how implicit learning that results from ACT-R’s architectural fe...

Our ability to gain an understanding of phenomena in our lives, our world, and our universe is accelerated by the visualization of data. Likewise, our ability to communicate our newfound understanding is made possible by visualizing these phenomena and presenting these visualizations to others. The science and practice of visualizing data is maturing: while the visualization research community ...

Over the last decade, there has been a marked increase in the number of studies on attitude and decision research which use the factorial survey (FS) design. The FS integrates experimental setups into a survey: respondents react to hypothetical descriptions (vignettes) while the values of each attribute (dimension) of these descriptions systematically vary in order to estimate their impact on r...

A cognitive radio wireless sensor network is one of the candidate areas where cognitive techniques can be used for opportunistic spectrum access. Research in this area is still in its infancy, but it is progressing rapidly. The aim of this study is to classify the existing literature of this fast emerging application area of cognitive radio wireless sensor networks, highlight the key research t...

The field of cognitive psychology has increasingly provided scientific insights to explore how humans are subject to unconscious sources of evidentiary bias, leading to errors that can affect judgement and decision-making. Increasingly these insights are being applied outside the realm of individual decision-making to the collective arena of policy-making as well. A recent editorial in this jou...
