INTRODUCTION The Dimensional Overlap Model (D.O.) [3] and StimulusResponse Compatibility (SRC) [1,2,4] are two interrelated areas of study from experimental psychology that investigate the relationships between human response performance and the nature of the stimuli that elicits these responses. Decades of research in these areas have shown that the relationship between the stimuli and the req...

The International Institute for Sustainable Development contributes to sustainable development by advancing policy recommendations on international trade and investment, economic policy, climate change, measurement and assessment, and natural resources management. Through the Internet, we report on international negotiations and share knowledge gained through collaborative projects with global ...

This paper applies a new model and analytical tool to measure and study contemporary globalization processes in collaborative science – a world in which scientists, scholars, technicians and engineers interact within a ‘grid’ of interconnected research sites and collaboration networks. The building blocks of our metrics are the cities where scientific research is conducted, as mentioned in auth...

The International Clearing-house for Birth Defects Surveillance and Research, formerly known as International Clearinghouse of Birth Defects Monitoring Systems, consists of 40 registries worldwide that collaborate in monitoring 40 types of birth defects. Clearinghouse activities include the sharing and joint monitoring of birth defect data, epidemiologic and public health research, and capacity...

computer-supported collaborative learning (cscl) is a new trend in educational sciences. this study investigates how knowledge sharing and transferring can be facilitated by using cscl in a problem-solving setting. intervention of research is education regarding sustainable water resources management (swrm) by computer-supported collaborative learning (cscl). the purpose of this research was to...

Research on pre-task planning has revealed that planned conditions have produced more fluent and complex language than unplanned conditions. To date, most of these studies have investigated the effects of individual planning on language production while collaborative planning has received scant attention. To determine the effects of pre-task planning on second language written production, the p...

As the scientific community globalizes, it is increasingly important to understand the effects of international collaboration on the quality and quantity of research produced. While it is generally assumed that international collaboration enhances the quality of research, this phenomenon is not well examined. Stem cell research is unique in that it is both politically charged and a research are...
