Download or read book Product Experience written by Hendrik N. J. Schifferstein and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-04-28 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Product Experience brings together research that investigates how people experience products: durable, non-durable, or virtual. In contrast to other books, the present book takes a very broad, possibly all-inclusive perspective, on how people experience products. It thereby bridges gaps between several areas within psychology (e.g. perception, cognition, emotion) and links these areas to more applied areas of science, such as product design, human-computer interaction and marketing. The field of product experience research will include some of the research from four areas: Arts, Ergonomics, Technology, and Marketing. Traditionally, each of these four fields seems to have a natural emphasis on the human (ergonomics and marketing), the product (technology) or the experience (arts). However, to fully understand human product experience, we need to use different approaches and we need to build bridges between these various fields of expertise. Most comprehensive collection of psychological research behind product design and usability Consistenly addresses the 3 components of human-product experience: the human, the product, and the experience International contributions from experts in the field

Download or read book Living Safely Aging Well written by Dorothy A. Drago and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Older adults can stay healthy longer by avoiding injury at home. As we age, our sense of balance and our vision, hearing, and cognition become less sharp. Aging-related changes greatly increase our risk of injury. In Living Safely, Aging Well, nationally recognized safety expert Dorothy A. Drago spells out how to prevent injury while cooking, gardening, sleeping, driving—and just walking around the house. In the first part of the book, Drago describes the causes of injuries by type—falls, burns, poisoning, and asphyxia—and explains how to decrease the risk of each. She then explores the home environment room by room, pointing out potential hazards and explaining how to avoid them, for example, by installing night lights, eliminating glass coffee tables, and using baby monitors. Lively line drawings make it easy for readers to visualize risks and implement prevention techniques. Living Safely, Aging Well pays special attention to hazards encountered by people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. A chapter devoted to health literacy helps people and caregivers make the best use of the medical care system and a chapter on driving helps evaluate when it is no longer safe to be behind the wheel.

Book excerpt: The science behind a good meal: all the sounds, sights, and tastes that make us like what we're eating—and want to eat more. Why do we consume 35 percent more food when eating with one other person, and 75 percent more when dining with three? How do we explain the fact that people who like strong coffee drink more of it under bright lighting? And why does green ketchup just not work? The answer is gastrophysics, the new area of sensory science pioneered by Oxford professor Charles Spence. Now he's stepping out of his lab to lift the lid on the entire eating experience—how the taste, the aroma, and our overall enjoyment of food are influenced by all of our senses, as well as by our mood and expectations. The pleasures of food lie mostly in the mind, not in the mouth. Get that straight and you can start to understand what really makes food enjoyable, stimulating, and, most important, memorable. Spence reveals in amusing detail the importance of all the “off the plate” elements of a meal: the weight of cutlery, the color of the plate, the background music, and much more. Whether we’re dining alone or at a dinner party, on a plane or in front of the TV, he reveals how to understand what we’re tasting and influence what others experience. This is accessible science at its best, fascinating to anyone in possession of an appetite. Crammed with discoveries about our everyday sensory lives, Gastrophysics is a book guaranteed to make you look at your plate in a whole new way.

Download or read book Olfactory Event related Potentials in Alzheimer s Disease written by Charlie David Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Areas of the brain which process olfactory information (entorhinal cortex, prepiriform cortex, and anterior olfactory nucleus) contain plaques, tangles, and cell loss in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD). These abnormalities are also associated with increasing loss of olfactory function in AD. Previous research on AD has shown marked impairment in olfactory functioning with respect to detection, recognition memory, identification, and quality discrimination. Diagnosis of definitive AD is only possible at autopsy, therefore during life, only a probable diagnosis is possible. As a result, better techniques for diagnosing AD are essential in order to provide a more definitive diagnosis of AD during life. Event-related potential (ERP) studies in the auditory and visual modalities have demonstrated significant differences between AD and normal controls including increased P2 and P3 latencies in AD patients. In addition, ERPs in these two modalities have proven useful in the study of early AD and as a predictor of mortality. The present study examines the olfactory ERP, its utility and usefulness in AD assessment, and ability to differentiate AD from normal controls, compared to auditory ERPs. Olfactory ERPs (OERP) and auditory ERPs were recorded from the Fz, Cz, and Pz electrode sites in 12 AD patients and 12 matched normal controls in a single-stimulus paradigm with a 45 sec inter-trial interval, using Amyl Acetate as the olfactory stimulus, and in a separate session a 500 Hz tone as the auditory stimulus. The results of the present study indicate: (1) a simple and short olfactory OERP single-stimulus paradigm is very sensitive to mild changes in dementia status and olfactory function in AD. OERP P2 & P3 latencies were significantly longer in AD patients than normal controls; (2) olfactory ERP latency measures correlated significantly with dementia status as measured by the DRS indicating that as participants performed worse (increase dementia) on the DRS, OERP latencies increased; (3) olfactory ERP latency measures better differentiate AD patients from normal controls than auditory ERP latency measures and correctly classify about 92% of participants; (4) and finally, this study demonstrated the replicability and usefulness of olfactory identification measures in the assessment of AD.
