Online open knowledge sharing is the idea that the Internet can promote the aggregation and dissemination of useful knowledge between a potentially large number of people. Starting from the knowledge sharing idea, various types of online open knowledge sharing services have provided the central platform for users to interact with each other, share their knowledge, and even jointly create new kn...

The aim of the proposed theoretical model is to illuminate personal and interpersonal resilience by drawing from the field of emotional face perception. We suggest that perception/recognition of emotional facial expressions serves as a central link between subjective, self-related processes and the social context. Emotional face perception constitutes a salient social cue underlying interperson...

Current personal information management (PIM) tools do not sufficiently recognize the spatio-temporal, hierarchical, or conceptual relations of tasks that constitute our plans. Using behavioral observation methods we analyzed people planning a trip to attend a conference taking place in a region they had little or no prior familiarity with. The resulting open-ended records were coded into highe...

The application, called the Personal Publication Assistant, is based on the assumption that successful information selection is driven by recognizing familiar terms. To adapt itself to a researcher’s interests, the system takes into a...

We discuss the concept of Enaction as originally proposed by Varela. We attempt to exemplify through two specific topics, sensory ecology and behavior, as well as physiological and behavioral ecology, on which the enactive approach is based. We argue that sensory physiology allows us to explore the biological and cognitive meaning of animal 'private' sensory channels, beyond the scope of our ow...

In this work we argue in favor of an integrative design approach supporting the idea that teachers and learners in a technology enhanced learning environment should be able to adapt the affordances of the representations in order to achieve an optimum coupling of the interface to the socio-cognitive learning needs in the specific context. An adaptable interface can appear as a reactive, coactiv...

Age-related cognitive decline adversely affects a significant portion of the population. Studies have suggested that cognition may be maintained by supporting cholinergic function and overall brain health. Zymenta and Cerelist are nutritional supplements that address nutritional deficiencies that may be related to mild cognitive decline by providing complementary ingredients to 1) support acety...
