The ability to imagine events is important to regular thought processes such as remembering and understanding the world in general. Two EEG experiments were conducted to investigate the difficulty associated with imagining activities from different visual perspectives. Experiment 1 involved participants imagining ongoing activities (e.g., I was skating) from a first and third person perspective...

The present research demonstrates that the visual perspective--own first-person versus observer's third-person--people use to picture themselves engaging in a potential future action affects their self-perceptions and subsequent behavior. On the eve of the 2004 U.S. presidential election, registered voters in Ohio were instructed to use either the first-person or the third-person perspective to...

Previous research shows that 2-year-olds’ production of third person singular -s, but not plural -s, is affected by coda complexity, though both are more accurately produced in durationally longer utterance-final compared to utterancemedial position. This study explores these effects with possessive -s. Acoustic analysis of 10 two-years-olds’ elicited imitations examined children’s use of simpl...

In order to construct the border solutions for nonsupersingular elliptic curve equations, some common used models need to be adapted from linear treated cases for use in particular nonlinear cases. There are some approaches that conclude with these solutions. Optimization in this area means finding the majority of points on the elliptic curve and minimizing the time to compute the solution in c...

Imagining future success can sometimes enhance people's motivation to achieve it. This article examines a phenomenological aspect of positive mental imagery--the visual perspective adopted--that may moderate its motivational impact. The authors hypothesize that people feel more motivated to succeed on a future task when they visualize its successful completion from a third-person rather than a ...

Empirical research on the bodily self has shown that the body representation is malleable, and prone to manipulation when conflicting sensory stimuli are presented. Using Virtual Reality (VR) we assessed the effects of manipulating multisensory feedback (full body control and visuo-tactile congruence) and visual perspective (first and third person perspective) on the sense of embodying a virtua...

Research on the acquisition order of inflectional morphemes in English has shown that third-person singular –s (3SG–s) is challenging to acquire and acquired later than be copula by both L1 L2 learners English. In a departure from usual practice controlled elicitation, current study investigated production these two forms Vietnamese EFL oral communication tasks performed intact classrooms. does...

Switching stock market trading strategies between price trading and trend following can be heavily affected by how one trader anticipates other traders’ behavior. This paper suggests an agent based model which allows agents to be under effect of third-person perception and to use external information system such as search engines and social network services which provide information on other tr...
