Download or read book Attraction Distraction and Action written by Charles Folk and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade there has been a spate of research on the empirical phenomenon known as "attentional capture". Interest in capture can be attributed not only to its applied significance, but also to the implications of the phenomenon for theories of selective attention, as well as cognitive control in general. This growing interest, however, has also spawned a wide variety of experimental paradigms, empirical results, and theoretical perspectives. In June of 2000, 40 experimental psychologists converged on Villanova University for a conference and workshop on attentional capture. The intent was to provide an intimate forum for scientists from diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and using diverse methodologies to present their research on attentional capture and also engage in small group discussions on such key issues as the definition, measurement, and theoretical treatment of attention capture. This book presents a collection of chapters based on those presentations and discussions. Chapters are organized around areas such as neuroscience, visual cognition, developmental, individual differences and dynamical systems. The volume provides: a summary of the latest cutting edge research; an important compass for future research in this area; a useful survey of the field; contributions from internationally recognized experts in attention. Due to its exclusive focus on the topic of attentional capture the volume should make an excellent supplemental text or reference book for advanced undergraduate or graduate seminars in cognitive psychology and attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meaningful discussion about intercountry adoption (the adoption of a child from one country by a family from another country) necessitates an understanding of a complex range of issues. These issues intersect at multiple levels and processes, span geographic and political boundaries, and emerge from radically different cultural beliefs and systems.

Download or read book Privilege Or Punish written by Dan Markel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privilege or Punish: Criminal Justice and the Challenge of Family Ties will expose some of the challenges the American criminal justice system faces when it intersects with the interests of the family. The authors find that the state does not always impinge upon family members in the course of investigating or prosecuting all the crimes about which it knows. Legal institutions and actors frequently defer to the decision of family members to prioritize their duties to family over their duties as citizens. Some examples of these accommodations include evidentiary privileges that enable family members to avoid furnishing evidence against their loved ones or exemptions for family members from laws prohibiting the harboring of fugitive. The authors characterize state policies that appear to promote family interests as "family ties benefits" - and there are many of them. The authors generally oppose conferring family ties benefits in the criminal justice system. This is a controversial stance, but Markel, Collins, and Leib argue that in many circumstances there are simply too many costs to the criminal justice system when it gives special benefits to family members, while at the same time excluding citizens who are not part of a state-sanctioned family unit.

Download or read book Beyond audiovisual novel multisensory stimulation techniques and their applications written by Justyna Świdrak and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-10-03 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immersive virtual reality technology has been developing extremely dynamically in the last decade. One of the reasons is the impressive progress in 3D graphics and the increasing accessibility of hardware with sufficient computational power to smoothly render high-quality 3D environments. Virtual reality overwhelms the user by replacing the physical world with a computer-generated 3D scenario. Its power lies in embodied, complex, and vivid scenarios rich in context and dynamic engagement of the sensorimotor system, which provokes more naturalistic behavioural and physiological responses than abstract stimuli. Congruent multisensory stimulation builds virtual experience and makes us forget about the real world. Strong presence and embodiment illusions can cause deep cognitive, affective, and behavioural changes, leading to enhanced learning, perspective-taking, and treatments. Some types of sensory input have received much more attention than others. This includes mainly visual and auditory cues, but also, to some extent, nociception and touch. However, the human sensory system is much richer and more complex and includes many other senses, such as smell, and taste, but also thermoception, interoception, equilibrioception, and others. Most VR experiences are built on rich audiovisual cues since these two modalities allow us to perceive the virtual world and interact with it. For example, touch, although extremely important, is often represented in a reductionist form, and other modalities, such as the sense of smell or thermoception, are completely ignored.

Download or read book The Politics of Automobile Insurance Reform written by Edward L. Lascher Jr. and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 1999-07-21 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American state and Canadian provincial governments have dealt with rapidly rising auto insurance rates in different ways over the last two decades, a difference many attribute to variances in political pressure exerted by interest groups such as trial attorneys and insurance companies. Edward L. Lascher, Jr., argues that we must consider two additional factors: the importance of politicians’ beliefs about the potential success of various solutions and the role of governmental institutions. Using case studies from both sides of the border, Lascher shows how different explanations of the problem and different political structures affect insurance reform. In his conclusion, Lascher moves beyond auto insurance to draw implications for regulation and policymaking in other areas.

Download or read book Nonfood Sensory Practices written by Anne-Marie Pense-Lheritier and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-28 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensory evaluation is applied in very diverse and sometimes unexpected sectors. Nonfood Sensory Practices aims to show how sensory professionals from sectors other than food have embraced sensory evaluation methods for product development and communication of their products' sensory properties. This book is thus intended as a first assessment of what is happening in nonfood sectors. It will open perspectives to those sensory professionals who wish to apply and adapt their expertise in food sensory science to other types of products, as well as to those working in nonfood sectors but with lesser background in sensory evaluation. Many nonfood products are intrinsically complex. They can be used in diverse ways, often in strong interaction with context and – unlike food – over several hours, days or months. This book shows how sensory professionals have adapted to these specificities, not to mention specific needs in terms of panel management and different ways to deal with consumers, users, customers or even sometimes with patients. First chapters present general methodological principles that will allow readers to fully apprehend the use of sensory practices. Then, contributions from many professionals in nonfood sectors will help to realize and promote the potential added value of sensory evaluation to their own field of application. - Presents methodological specificities and solutions for the sensory evaluation of non-food products - Includes case studies that help readers understand how to adapt food-centric sensory methods developed for non-food applications - Triggers new ideas and further useful developments for the sensory evaluation of food products and the study of food-related consumer behaviors
