Should we give learners a lot of practice with a few problems, or a little practice with a variety of problems? The best practice set depends on the way people are learning. We describe two models people employ when learning arithmetic problems. We show that features of the task environment influence model use. When problems are presented in a purely symbolic format, people learn an item-specif...

Features from the past in present cities have been identified as valuable and as potential assets for future urban development. Transferring knowledge about the history and heritage of the urban landscape is considered to be a challenging matter.

Software safety cases encourage developers to carry out only those safety activities that actually reduce risk. In practice this is not always achieved. To help remedy this, the SSEI at the University of York has developed a set of software safety argument patterns. This paper reports on using the patterns in two real-world case studies, evaluating the patterns’ use against criteria that includ...

Overview Both the technologies and design concepts exist for a new generation of low-energy buildings that outperform today’s typical high-performance buildings. Cultural barriers, however, are a primary inhibitor of the widespread construction of these buildings. This paper first gives examples of existing technologies and design concepts exceeding today’s best practice, followed by successful...
