Affective reasoning holds significant potential for intelligent tutoring systems. Incorporating affective reasoning into pedagogical decision-making capabilities could enable learning environments to create customized experiences that are dynamically tailored to individual students’ ever changing levels of engagement, interest, motivation, and self-efficacy. Because physiological responses are ...

As business process models represent boundary objects between technology and business operations they need not only be able to capture all essential information required for executing business processes, but also for the situational context of agile Business Process Management (BPM). ...

This study used principles underlying item generation theory to posit competing perspectives about which features of situational judgment tests might enhance or impede consistent measurement across repeat test administrations. This led to 3 alternate-form development approaches (random assignment, incident isomorphism, and item isomorphism). The effects of these approaches on alternate-form con...

Facial expressions of emotion play a key role in guiding social judgements, including deciding whether or not to approach another person. However, no research has examined how situational context modulates approachability judgements assigned to emotional faces, or the relationship between perceived threat and approachability judgements. Fifty-two participants provided approachability judgements...

The goal of contextual information retrieval (CIR) is to better meet the user’s needs by delivering him information adapted to his specific search context. This paper presents a CIR approach for the case of a mobile environment where the spatio-temporal context of the user and his cognitive context are taken into account to deliver him some relevant information. We suggest building situational ...
