This article examines the relationship between a work sample test (WST) and a measure of job experience (JE) with task and contextual performance. Hypothetically, WST and JE are related to task performance, because both are connected with working on tasks and other intrinsic technical elements of the job. Nevertheless, a non-significant relationship between contextual performance with WST and J...

Research on ad copy design is well-studied in the context of offline marketing. However, researchers have only recently started to investigate ad copies in the context of paid search, and have not yet explored the potential of information cues to enhance customers’ search process. In this paper we analyze the impact of an information cue on user behavior in ad copies. Contrary to prevalent advi...

Scenarios are often proposed as a means of managing innovation in use-centred design. Here we discuss ‘how’. Scenarios allow design spaces to be mapped, both marking and pushing the boundaries of those spaces, and charting paths through the conceptual terrain therein. They achieve this through facilitating two modes of design discourse (backward and forward linking), and mapping the granularity...

In this paper, we explore how the contextual ambiguity of a search can affect a keyword's performance. We propose an automatic way of categorizing keywords and examining keyword contextual ambiguity based on topic models from machine learning and computational linguistics. We quantify the effect of contextual ambiguity on keyword click-through performance using a hierarchical Bayesian model, an...

This research asked whether performance engendered by contextual control procedures would generalize to novel matching-to-sample stimulus arrangements. Two studies were conducted with young adult participants. In Study 1, participants first were trained to perform the contextually controlled conditional discrimination, X-AB, where the sample-comparison relations A1B1 and A2B2 were reinforced in...

For the production of interactive live TV formats, new content and new productions workflows are necessary. We explain how future content of a parallel multi-stream production of live events may be created form a design and a technical perspective. It is argued, that the content should be arranged by dramaturgical principles taking into account the meaning of the base material. To support the p...

The effective utilisation of a user’s context in improving the performance of web search engines is a subject of intense research interest. In particular, much attention has been directed to the enhancement of queries and the provision of more relevant information by taking user context into account. Progress in this field has been limited to date, however, due to ongoing challenges in capturin...
