Abstract Despite the high risks reflected from annual road traffic casualties, motorcycles remain a popular mode of transport in Malaysia due to economic and ease-of-use factors. Therefore, various parties need play their roles, make proper plans take actions accommodate needs motorcyclists Malaysia. Consequently, some fundamental basis on how interact with environment other drivers was needed....

Motor theories of perception posit that motor information is necessary for successful recognition of actions. Perhaps the most well known of this class of proposals is the motor theory of speech perception, which argues that speech recognition is fundamentally a process of identifying the articulatory gestures (i.e. motor representations) that were used to produce the speech signal. Here we rev...

Perceiving the acoustic signal as a sequence of meaningful linguistic representations is a challenging task, which infants seem to accomplish effortlessly, despite the fact that they do not have a fully developed knowledge of language. The present article takes an integrative approach to infant speech perception, emphasizing how young learners’ perception of speech helps them acquire abstract s...

Perception is crucial for the control of action, but perception need not be scaled accurately to produce accurate actions. This paper reviews evidence for an elegant new theory of locomotor space perception that is based on the dense coding of angular declination so that action control may be guided by richer feedback. The theory accounts for why so much direct-estimation data suggests that ego...

To account for perceptual and action-related stages of information processing, most prominent cognitive architectures have extended their coverage from primarily cognitive processes to perceptual processing and response execution (e.g. EPIC (Kieras & Meyer, 1997); ACT-R/PM (Byrne & Anderson, 1998)). However, despite these extensions they are typically still too limited to explain some well-know...

Despite being experienced as continuous, there is an ongoing debate if perception is an intrinsically discrete process, with incoming sensory information treated as a succession of single perceptual cycles. Here, we provide causal evidence that somatosensory perception is composed of discrete perceptual cycles. We used in humans an electrotactile temporal discrimination task preceded by a subli...

The growing availability of efficient and relatively inexpensive virtual auditory display technology has provided new research platforms to explore the perception of auditory motion. At the same time, deployment of these technologies in command and control as well as in entertainment roles is generating an increasing need to better understand the complex processes underlying auditory motion per...

The quality of education depends on the quality of technology. Information and communication technology (ICT) has become popular within a very short time one of the basic building blocks of modern society. The present study was aim to find out the perception of teacher trainees towards learning through information and communication technologies. The objectives of the study were to find out the ...

a tug which, according to towage contract, renders salvage services to tow, is not, principally, entitled to reward, although she has, practically, rescued the tow from danger. notwithstanding this, section 176 of iranian maritime act says: a tug has no right to remuneration for assistance to or salvage of the vessel she is towing or of the vessel cargo, except where she has rendered exceptiona...
