Schizophrenia is one of the most frequent and severe mental disorders. Among the typical symptoms of schizophrenia are auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH). Inner speech dysfunction is often incriminated in the pathogenesis of AVH. The long term aim of our research is to collect EMG and EGG data on schizophrenic patients during AVH, to examine the inner speech dysfunction hypothesis. In this me...

This paper examines in detail the backchannels uttered by a French professional interviewer during a neuropsychological test of verbal memories. These backchannels are short utterances such as oui, d’accord, uhm, etc. They are mainly produced here to encourage subjects to retrieve a set of words after their controlled encoding. We show that the choice of lexical items, their production rates an...

In this paper dance is used as an application area, as well as a metaphor for studying how to build digital multimedia libraries that comprise moving images accompanied by sound and other media. The use of protocol analysis is suggested as a knowledge acquisition method for eliciting verbal descriptions of dance. Such descriptions may be used to annotate dance videos to facilitate their storage...

A protocol study has been conducted which examines the strategies intermediate level programmers use along and the errors which are made when a small number of experimental problems written using the language C++ are maintained. An integrated compilation and editing environment has been developed which captures editing events, such as cursor movements, keystrokes and compilation attempts. Maint...

During the last decade the technique of CORS-based Network RTK has been proven capable of providing cm-level positioning accuracy for rovers receiving GNSS correction data from the CORS network. The technique relies on successful integer carrier-phase ambiguity resolution at both network and user level: at the level of the CORS network, ambiguity resolution is a prerequisite in order to determi...

We report an experiment investigating graph comprehension. Verbal protocol data were collected while participants attempted to understand six bar or line graphs representing relationships between three variables. Analysis of the verbal protocols revealed significant differences in the level of comprehension between the two graph types. Specifically, a significant proportion of line graph users ...
