Against the background of Moreno’s “cognitive-affective theory of learning with media” (CATLM) (Moreno, 2006), three papers on cognitive and affective processes in learning with multimedia are discussed in this commentary. The papers provide valuable insights in how cognitive processing and learning results can be affected by constructs such as “situational interest”, “positive emotions”, or “c...

Following the framework of affect theory and performativity, investigation traces how doubt emerges among subjectivities constructs structures feeling around recent history in Argentina. To develop its affective doubt, paper presents a case study Última(s) catástrofe(s), site-specific performance by Compañía de Funciones Patrióticas. Through an immersive, first-person dramaturgical analysis eve...

In Wikipedia, volunteers collaboratively author encyclopedic entries, and therefore managing conflict is a key factor in group success. Behavioral research describes three conflict types: task-related, affective, and process. Affective and process conflict have been consistently found to impede group performance; however, the effect of task conflict is inconsistent. We propose that these inconc...

The purpose of this article is to propose a simulation framework combining Soft-System Methodology, System Dynamics, and the Cognitive Affective Personality System model, to facilitate the design and development of agents (e.g., agent based models, software agents) with interacting affective and cognitive units. A review of the literature supports the building of a third-order positive causal-l...

This research proposes that the concept of emotional attachment, and specifically the independent constructs of psychological ownership and affective reaction, can help explain many of the endowment effect findings documented in the literature. We define these constructs and then test them across a set of nine studies in which we both replicate previous and generate new endowment effect finding...

We present a study that explores people’s affective responses when experiencing data represented through different modalities. In particular, we are interested in investigating how data representations that address haptic/tactile and sonic perception are experienced. We describe the creation of a number of data-driven artifacts that all represent the same dataset. In taking a phenomenological a...

The application of educational data mining (EDM) techniques to interactive learning software is increasingly being used to broaden the range of constructs typically incorporated in student models, moving from traditional assessment of student knowledge to the assessment of engagement, affect, strategy, and metacognition. Researchers are also broadening the range of environments within which the...

Affective reasoning holds significant potential for intelligent tutoring systems. Incorporating affective reasoning into pedagogical decision-making capabilities could enable learning environments to create customized experiences that are dynamically tailored to individual students’ ever changing levels of engagement, interest, motivation, and self-efficacy. Because physiological responses are ...

Abstract Contemporary non-fiction picturebooks for children are often fictionalised in one way or another. Many thus hybrids between fiction and but labelled as presented to non-fiction. Their purpose is inform teach, at the same time entertain elicit affective responses . To succeed achieving this dual purpose, study assumes that designed teaching can create opportunities separate combined dep...
