Abstract The visual communication of climate information is one the cornerstones services. It often requires translation multidimensional data to channels by combining colors, distances, angles, and glyph sizes. However, visualizations including too many layers complexity can hinder decision-making processes limiting cognitive capacity users, therefore affecting their attention, recognition, wo...

Software maintenance and mainly software comprehension pose the largest costs in the software lifecycle. In order to assess the cost of software comprehension, various complexity measures have been proposed in the literature. This paper proposes new cognitive-spatial complexity measures, which combine the impact of spatial as well as architectural aspect of the software to compute the software ...

The ability to discern when actions deviate from goals and adjust behavior accordingly is crucial for efforts at self-regulation, including managing one's weight. We examined whether children with obesity differed from controls in response monitoring, an aspect of cognitive control that involves registering one's errors. Participants performed a cognitive interference task, responding to the co...

The concept of complexity is used in many areas of computer science and software engineering. Software complexity metrics can be used to evaluate and compare quality of software development and maintenance processes and their products. Complexity management and measurement is especially important in novel programming technologies and paradigms, such as aspect-oriented programming, generative pr...

Previous theories of moral development such as those by Piaget and Kohlberg usually focused on the cognitive or rational aspect, and seldom included the affective aspect in their construction. The characteristics of the stages of moral development in the present paper are elaborated with special reference to psychological needs, altruism and human relationships, and justice reasoning. The three...

The purpose of this study is to present an effective education model and approach to drug abuse prevention among educational clients and improvement centers of the country. This srudy is a descriptive and surveying research and the combination method (qualitative and quantitative). The Delphi panel has 22 experts with a history of coaching and 212 employees at the correctional center. The data ...

There are different facets of software complexity, some of which have been computed using widely accepted metrics like cyclomatic complexity, data/information flow metrics, but very less attempts have been made to measure the cognitive aspect of the complexity. The human mind's efforts needed for the comprehension of the source code reflect a different dimension of complexity, which is being me...
