In this cross-cultural study, we primarily aim to present research-based evidence to examine the main gender characteristics associated with socialization. Using the symbolic interaction theory and the socialization theory, this cross-cultuural analysis particularly explores the construction and representation of gender identity through educational systems. The fields of this stu...

the aim of this research is survey of bandura theoretical foundation of self efficacy include psychological, social, and philosophical base. in this research use analytic – deduction research method to achieve the aim. thus as psychological basis, the concepts of reciprocal determinism, consciousness, learning and finally the human agency will be discussed. under the social basis the effect of ...

17 textbooks are examined for the quantity and quality of their material pertaining to ideas in the symbolic interaction tradition. Most of the textbooks fail to discuss at least some of the ideas in this tradition. In the 5 exceptions, the texts only include material from the Chicago school of this tradition with only a little inclusive information from the Iowa school. Thus, the ideas about s...

Using model checking to verify that interaction protocols have given properties is widely recognized as an important issue in multiagent systems where autonomous and heterogeneous agents need to successfully regulate and coordinate their interactions. In this paper, we investigate the use of symbolic model checkers to verify the compliance of a special kind of interaction protocols called commi...

Pointing at objects is a natural form of interaction between humans that is of particular importance in human-machine interfaces. Our goal is the recognition of such deictic gestures on our mobile robot in order to enable a natural way of interaction. The approach proposed analyzes image data from the robot’s camera to detect the gesturing hand. We perform deictic gesture recognition through ex...

Predictive influences of auditory information on resolution of visual competition were investigated using music, whose visual symbolic notation is familiar only to those with musical training. Results from two experiments using different experimental paradigms revealed that melodic congruence between what is seen and what is heard impacts perceptual dynamics during binocular rivalry. This bisen...

Understanding innovation in the biomedical field requires an appreciation of its highly interactive nature and of the many professional and organizational boundaries that create barriers to interaction and the sharing of knowledge. Yet, research to date has directed much less attention to understanding the intricacies of interactive biomedical innovation in practice, than it has to exploring th...

The premise of our most recent work is that a recognition system can and should incorporate both the symbolic labeling of the potential func tionality of an object and the steps to con rm said functionality through interaction Hence the task at hand is as follows A researcher selects an object and places it in the observation area of a robot arm An initial intensity and range im age are acquire...

Cognitive Architectures (CAs) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. A CA is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. Over the years a number of distinct CAs have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. These CAs are usually classified as symbolic and...

the symbolic cultural order becomes manifest through language in the case of texts and narratives and through images in the case of art. knowledge of the elements that compose the symbolic order is an essential analytical tool, above all for comparative studies of art, literature and religion. in this way, many of the symbolic references that exist in each culture can be illuminated by examples...
