Space, Time, and the Use of Language
Does temporal language depend on spatial language? This widespread view is intuitively appealing since spatial and temporal expressions are often similar or identical. Also, metaphors consistently express temporal phenomena in terms of spatial language, pointing to a close semantic and conceptual relationship. But what about the application of the two kinds of linguistic expressions in natural discourse? The book draws together findings on terms that describe the relation of objects or events to each other (such as in front / behind, before / after, etc.), highlighting the relationship between cognition and language usage. Using the method of cognitively motivated discourse analysis, novel e...
Affective and Emotional Aspects of Human-Computer Interaction
The learning process can be seen as an emotional and personal experience that is addictive and motivates learners to proactive behaviour. New research methods in this field are related to affective and emotional approaches to computer-supported learning and human-computer interactions. The major topics discussed are emotions, motivation, games and game-experience. The book is divided in three parts, part I, Game-based Learning, reflects upon the two-way interaction between game and student, thus enabling the game to react to the student’s emotional state. Having the possibility to detect and steer the emotional state of the student could have a positive impact on using digital games in edu...
Spatial Cognition III
This third volume documents the results achieved within a priority program on spatial cognition funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG). The 23 revised full papers presented went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and reflect the increased interdisciplinary cooperation in the area. The papers are organized in topical sections on routes and navigation, human memory and learning, spatial representation, and spatial reasoning.
Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics
The 13th International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction, HCI Inter- tional 2009, was held in San Diego, California, USA, July 19–24, 2009, jointly with the Symposium on Human Interface (Japan) 2009, the 8th International Conference on Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics, the 5th International Conference on Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction, the Third International Conf- ence on Virtual and Mixed Reality, the Third International Conference on Internati- alization, Design and Global Development, the Third International Conference on Online Communities and Social Computing, the 5th International Conference on Augmented Cognition, the Second International Con...
Spatial Cognition II
This book constitutes the second volume documenting the results achieved within a priority program on spatial cognition by the German Science Foundation (DFG).The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and reflect the increased interdisciplinary cooperation in the area. The book is divided into sections on maps and diagrams, motion and spatial reference, spatial relations and spatial inference, navigation in real and virtual spaces, and spatial memory.
Deictic Conceptualisation of Space, Time, and Person
This volume is a collection of articles which present the results of investigations into the grammar, semantics and pragmatics of deictic expressions in several languages. Special emphasis is placed on contrastive studies that take cognitive and cultural context into account. Both the empirical and theoretical studies focus on the ways in which spatial, temporal, personal and textual entities are conceptualised and referred to. The cognitive approach proves to be a promising perspective combining aspects of perception, reasoning and linguistic expression to reveal what seems to be at the very heart of deictics.
The power of Ayurvedic healing plants
"When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need." Ayurvedic Proverb Ayurveda is an ancient health care system from India which has been practiced all over India for the last 5000 years. From India this knowledge has travelled to numerous countries like Nepal, China and even to Europe. In times gone by India was the greatest exporter of herbs and spices to many countries around the world. More than 3000 herbs, minerals and animal products are explained in Ayurveda, together with their physical description, pharmacological activities and role in both preventive and curative aspects for all diseases. The role of herbs and spices in preventive aspects of ...
Spatial Cognition
Research on spatial cognition is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary enterprise for the study of spatial representations and cognitive spatial processes, be they real or abstract, human or machine. Spatial cognition brings together a variety of - search methodologies: empirical investigations on human and animal orientation and navigation; studies of communicating spatial knowledge using language and graphical or other pictorial means; the development of formal models for r- resenting and processing spatial knowledge; and computer implementations to solve spatial problems, to simulate human or animal orientation and navigation behavior, or to reproduce spatial communication patterns. These ...
Campus 2004
Digitale - neue - Medien haben ihre erste oder vielleicht schon zweite Hochphase an den Hochschulen hinter sich. Sie sind in die Jahre gekommen - nicht allein an den Hochschulen, sondern auch in unserem täglichen Leben. Sie sind sozusagen erwachsen geworden. Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Tagungsbandes konzentrieren sich auf drei Themenschwerpunkte:"Die 5%-Hürde": Handlungsansätze zur Verbreitung digitaler Medien im Hochschulalltag."Maximal digital - Mehrwert durch didaktische Szenarien?": die Schwerpunktverlagerung von den technischen Einsatzmöglichkeiten digitaler Medien hin zu einer konstruktiven Auseinandersetzung mit den didaktischen Herausforderungen. Neue Ansätze der "Lehr- und Lernforschung" unter Einbeziehung neurophysiologischer und -psychologischer Aspekte. Die Jahrestagungen der Gesellschaft für Medien in der Wissenschaft gelten als Promotoren für Themen, Trends und Entwicklungen rund um die digitalen - neuen - Medien in den Hochschulen, die den aktuellen Stand der Diskussion dokumentieren und als Zeitbilder festhalten.
