Actor–network theory: a suitable framework to understand how land cover mapping projects develop?

Applying how adults rehearse to understand how rehearsal may develop

We address short-term memory development and the role of covert verbal rehearsal (CVR), the imagined pronunciation of items from a list to be recalled. We suggest insights based on studies of serial and free recall. The research in adults has taken two tacks. (1) Overt rehearsal responses have been elicited to study what CVR strategies may occur, and (2) conditions have been imposed impeding th...

Land-cover and Land-use Mapping

HOW TO UNDERSTAND IT Statistical parametric mapping

© 2004 Blackwell Publishing Ltd THE BASIC IDEA Brain responses are recorded using an imaging technique such as fMRI, which allows the repeated measurement of brain activity at hundreds of thousands of points, or voxels, throughout the brain (Fig. 1). Each voxel represents physiological responses from a small anatomical portion of the brain (typically 3 × 3 × 3 mm). The analysis of such data see...

Using CVS Historical Information to Understand How Students Develop Software

Software engineering courses are expected to teach students a wide range of knowledge and skills, e.g. software-development methodologies, tools, work habits, collaboration skills, a good sense of scheduling, etc. In this paper, we present a method to track the progress of students developing a term project, using the historical information stored in their CVS repository. This information is an...

Using Activity Theory to Understand How People

In a typical workplace in the United States, two knowledge -producing activity systems are in motion. Each produces knowledge about how to do the work of that workplace, but they are differently motivated: one toward productivity, and the other toward earning a living. The conflict between these two systems is addressed through the process of negotiation. A.N. Leont’ev’s insight on the power of...
