It is generally accepted that much of everyday language shows evidence of metaphor. We assume a common sense knowledge of the real world in the understanding of metaphorical utterances. We do not address the issue of when an utterance is to be considered metaphorical. Instead, we provide an explanation of how a mtephorical utterance can be processed. Consider the following example: (1) “In the ...

Mobile learning has been a research topic for some 20 years. Over that time it has encompassed a wide range of concepts, theories, designs, experiments and evaluations. With increasing interest in mobile learning from researchers and practitioners, an accessible overview of this area of research that encapsulates its many facets and features can provide a useful snapshot of the field to interes...

this paper compared the efficacy of these two methods on retention, understanding and problem solving in the biology keeping in the mind the fact that student's learning style has a role as a moderator variable. the intervening effects on retention, understanding and problem solving were measured by two academic achievement tests that those have the confirmable validity and reliability indexes....

An essential, but often ignored, technology that stands as the interface between the city and its public is the map. But how can a visual representation influence a user’s points of contact within, mental organization of and access to urban space? In this paper I present results from an ethnographic study demonstrating how a familiar subway map – the ‘Tube Map’ – structures the ways in which us...

This paper provides a new framework for visualizing business models, guided by well-shaped visualization based on hypergraph technology, specifically, mind mapping. Our approach presents the future evolution of Ostervalder‘s ideas. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed framework we conducted a pilot study involving an experiment with 22 experienced top-managers of Russian companies and exa...

In this poster summary, we argue that mental concern-processing mechanisms are amenable to a society-of-mind approach to mind design. We illustrate our case with an information-level analysis of the emotion process, relating the different classes of emotional state to the different layers of our motivated agent framework. We describe how a society-of-mind design-based implementation strategy al...

Quantitative and qualitative research of a case study course confirmed that the course achieved a highly interactive learning experience, associated with more effective student support and high student retention. Computer conferencing achieved high participation from the beginning and evidence of dialogue and argumentation within online tutor groups. This was achieved not by active tutor modera...

[Context and motivation] Digital Addiction, (hereafter referred to as DA), has become a serious issue that has a diversity of socio-economic side effects. [Question/problem] In spite of its high importance, DA got little recognition or guidance as to how software engineering should take it into account. This is in stark contrast to other domains known for traditional addiction (e.g., drugs, gam...

Is the encoding of content and format necessary for representing beliefs? In three experiments using ”false-representation” tasks, we explored whether beliefs were processed like non-mental representations, under the assumption that non-mental representations require both content and format to be processed. First, beliefs were compared to sentences (linguistic medium) while keeping representati...
