OBJECTIVES A better understanding of the essential components of frailty is important for future developments of management strategies. We aimed to assess the incremental validity of a Comprehensive Model of Frailty (CMF) over Frailty Index (FI) in predicting self-rated health and functional dependency amongst near-centenarians and centenarians. DESIGN Cross-sectional, community-based study. ...

Although looking time is used to assess infant perceptual and cognitive processing, little is known about the temporal structure of infant looking. To shed light on this temporal structure, 127 three-month-olds were assessed in an infant-controlled habituation procedure and presented with a pre-recorded display of a woman addressing the infant using infant-directed speech. Previous individual l...

In this paper, we predict the rise of Dependency-Driven Analytics (DDA), a new class of data analytics designed to cope with growing volumes of unstructured data. DDA drastically reduces the cognitive burden of data analysis by systematically leveraging a compact dependency graph derived from the raw data. The computational cost associated with the analysis is also reduced substantially, as the...

A previous study (Vision Research 51 (2011) 1192-1205) found evidence for semantic guidance of visual attention during the inspection of real-world scenes, i.e., an influence of semantic relationships among scene objects on overt shifts of attention. In particular, the results revealed an observer bias toward gaze transitions between semantically similar objects. However, this effect is not nec...
