In the current study visual and verbal metaphor understanding was assessed in 20 children with learning disabilitie...

In this paper we will present CyberNet, an interactive 3D dynamic information visualization tool designed to evaluate the added value this technology brings to network management. This paper explains how 3D metaphoric worlds may help the user and points out the problems raised by the dynamic nature of the information. It focuses on the solutions that were adopted to cope with these problems. We...

Son yıllarda bilim insanları tarafından bir anlam oluşturma aracı olarak sıklıkla kullanılan metaforlar, insanların geçmiş bilgi birikimi ve deneyimleri ile geliştirdikleri etiketlerle gerçekliği nasıl inşa ettiklerini anlamaya yaramaktadır.
