A crucial step in the establishment of effective policies and regulations concerning legal decisions involving juveniles is the development of a complete understanding of the many factors-psychosocial as well as cognitive-that affect the evolution of judgment over the course of adolescence and into adulthood. This study examines the influence of three psychosocial factors (responsibility, persp...

the decisions of the court of justice at any levels of proceeding up to its termination, to some extend indicate the viewpoints of the court and its approach towards the claims and the defenses of the parties to lawsuit. when the trial ends, the court declares its decisive resolution within the framework of a judgment, and in proportion to the type of claim object and the course of trial procee...

Performance is better when a high pitch tone is associated with an up or right response and a low pitch tone with a down or left response compared to the opposite pairs, which is called the spatial-musical association of response codes effect. The current study examined whether polarity codes are formed in terms of the variation in loudness. In Experiments 1 and 2, in which participants perform...

Recent research has shown that when people compare one thing to another, they tend to focus myopically on the target of the comparative judgment and do not sufficiently consider the referent to which the target is being compared. This paper applies this recent theoretical progress to the problem of predicting the outcomes of athletic competitions. In three studies, we show that the focal compet...

To assist the judgment of human operators, a computer-aided drug delivery system with adaptive predictive control is suggested. The assisting system can predict future responses of a patient to drug infusions, calculate optimal inputs, and present those values on a monitor. Regardless of sudden disturbance such as bleeding, human operators of the computer-aided system were able to control arter...

The contribution to spatial awareness of adding a roll degree-of-freedom (DOF) to telepresence camera platform yaw and pitch was examined in an experiment where subjects judged direction and rotation of stationary target markers in a remote scene. Subjects viewed the scene via head-slaved camera images in a head-mounted display. Elimination of the roll DOF affected rotation judgment, but only a...
