Cognitive technologies for establishing, sharing and comparing perspectives on video over computer networks

… capacities on the Internet has created new possibilities for collaboration in
behavioral science research. Unfortunately, digital video has so far proven to be an
unnatural medium for collaborative activity due to a lack of adequate tools that support
joint analysis of a shared video record. We describe seven socio-technical design challenges
that face what we term computer-supported collaborative video analysis. We also
describe a software environment that we have created …

Learning how to do science education: Four waves of reform

… University
Abstract: In the modern era of the past half-century, we have seen four waves of science education reform activity. Our view is that these waves are building toward cumulative improvement of science education as a learning enterprise. Each wave has been: (1) distinguished by a different focus of design, (2) led by different primary proponents, and (3) contributed to new learning about what additional emphases will be necessary to achieve desirable outcomes for science …

Images of self and others as computer users: the role of gender and experience

… with others. The results of both studies suggest that while there is a male image of computer science in general, it is not overly negative and students’ self-perception is not governed by their own gender as much as by other variables.

The robot in the crib: A developmental analysis of imitation skills in infants and robots

… time, and what mechanisms are given to robots to achieve equivalent behaviour. Both developmental science and robotics are critically concerned with: (a) how their systems can and do go ‘beyond the stimulus’ given during the demonstration, and (b) how the internal models used in this process are acquired during the lifetime of the system.

Gender representation and humanoid robots designed for domestic use

… However, little is known about how a robot’s gender representation will affect users in everyday home use scenarios. This paper presents the results of a study exploring people’s expectations of humanoid robots, or androids, designed for home use. Results of this study demonstrated participants’ willingness to attribute human roles and tasks to an android, although they did not indicate an overall preference for the robot as a social actor. In addition, following the viewing of …

Young children’s reasoning about the effects of emotional and physiological states on academic performance

Opportunities and challenges for language learning and education

… “Opportunities and Challenges for Language Learning and Education,” held at the National Science Foundation Headquarters in Arlington Virginia on September 5-7, 2007. Scientific understanding of language learning is critical for three interrelated national priorities required for continuing American intellectual leadership and scientific innovation. The first of these is to understand the biology of language and its evolution in the learning infant. The second is the universal …
