Nontemporal variables were shown to influence subjective duration. Some of these variables are known to alter recognition performance. We suggested that the ease of pattern recognition underlies the effect exerted by some nontemporal stimuli characteristics on brief duration estimation. In order to test this assumption, recognition was manipulated by presenting facial stimuli in upright and inv...

Following a 2006 study aimed at evaluating the validity of pattern languages within the context of civic communication and social change, a number of insights emerged connected to the field of system dynamics and the practice of process monitoring. The study revealed that both system dynamics and process monitoring provide a number of opportunities for further grounding pattern thinking, as wel...

We propose extracting information about characters and actions from a self-contained story, such as news reports. This information is stored in structure patterns called situations. We show how these situation patterns can be constructed by unifying the constituents of sentence analysis with knowledge previously stored in Typed Feature Structures. These situations can be in turn used subsequent...
