Attempting to retrieve information from memory is an engaging cognitive activity. We predicted that people would learn more when they had spent more time attempting to retrieve. In experiments 1a and 1b, participants were shown trivia questions for 0, 5, 10, or 30 seconds and then the answer was revealed. They took a final test immediately or after 48 hours. Retrieval enhanced learning, but the...

This study utilized a cross-sectional survey design to compare the diflerences between Group Support System(GSS)-influenced manual meetings and non-GSS manual meetings. The research employed a quasiexperimental field study. The responses of GSS participants of a TeamFocus facility were compared to a control group who had not been exposed to the technology. Perceptual quantitative data on f?ve c...

Over the past years, a vast number of datasets have been published based on Semantic Web standards, which provides an opportunity for creating novel industrial applications. However, industrial requirements on data quality are high while the time to market as well as the required costs for data preparation have to be kept low. Unfortunately, many Linked Data sources are error-prone which preven...

Finnish has a very productive compounding and a rich inflectional system, which causes ambiguity in the morphological segmentation of compounds made with finite state transducer methods. In order to disambiguate the compound segmentations, we compare three different strategies, which we cast in a probabilistic framework. We present a method for implementing the probabilistic framework as part o...

The use of video for instructional purposes has exploded online, but little is known about how people interact with video differently than other instructional materials and how much they learn from those lessons. Kintsch’s (1994) model of text comprehension provides a productive model for studying how students build a semantic representation of materials that unfold over time but have an overar...

To work productively in an interactive workspace, users need effective interfaces to seamlessly share, annotate, and juxtapose digital information across heterogeneous devices. Building on an existing infrastructure for interactive workspaces, we developed an interaction design that uses an iconic representation of a workspace to enable application relocation and input redirection tasks to be p...

Secreted IgM was shown to contain truncated mu (mu') chains with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 55 kD. The estimated percentage of IgM heavy (H) chains in the mu' form ranged from less than or equal to 1% in the case of one tumor IgM protein (104E) to greater than or equal to 30% in normal serum IgM. Serum mu' chains lacked antigenic determinants characteristic of immunoglobulin va...

Dipropyltryptamine (DPT) is a hallucinogenic drug that has a shorter duration of action than lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and a relatively abrupt termination of activity. This study is an evaluation of the effectiveness of DPT compared to a placebo on a number of dimensions commonly regarded as significant in psychotherapy. Eighteen alcoholic patients received a total of 72 DPT and 64 place...
