Exocentric coding of the mapping between valence and regions of space
Converging evidence has established that positive concepts presented on a computer screen are associated with upper regions of space, and negative concepts with a lower region of space. One explanation for this is that understanding positive or negative concepts requires the re-experiencing of direction, whereby "happy is up" and "sad is down." However, it is unclear how the regions of space are encoded in these paradigms, space can be encoded in…
Mapping the audit traces of interdisciplinary collaboration
Two long-term sci-art research projects are described and positioned in the broader conceptual landscape of interdisciplinary collaboration. Both projects were aimed at understanding and augmenting choreographic decision-making and both were grounded in research conducted within a leading contemporary dance company. In each case, the work drew upon methods and theory from the cognitive sciences, and both had a direct impact on the way in which th…
Points in Mental Space
As part of a programme of research that is developing tools to enhance choreographic practice, an interdisciplinary team of cognitive scientists, neuroscientists and dance professionals collaborated on two studies examining the mental representations used to support movement creation. We studied choreographer Wayne McGregor's approach to movement creation through tasking, in which he asks dancers to create movement in response to task instruction…
Paying attention to emotional images with impact
Emotional stimuli receive high processing priority in attention and memory. This processing "advantage" is generally thought to be predominantly mediated by arousal. However, recent data suggest that ratings of an image's affective "impact" may be a better predictor of recollection than arousal or valence. One interpretation of these findings is that high-impact images may draw an individual's attention, thus facilitating subsequent processing. W…
The memory enhancement effect of emotion is absent in conceptual implicit memory
Memory for emotional stimuli is superior to memory for neutral stimuli. This study investigated whether this memory advantage is present in implicit memory. Memory was tested with a test of explicit memory (associate cued recall) and a test of conceptual implicit memory (free association) identical in all respects apart from the retrieval instructions. After studying emotional and neutral paired associates, participants saw the first member of th…
From Executive Mechanisms Underlying Perception and Action to the Parallel Processing of Meaning
The dominant conceptualization of working memory distinguishes mechanisms that handle auditory-verbal and visuospatial representations from central executive resources that control and guide them. A straightforward case can be made that executive mechanisms evolved initially in the service of directing attention to salient environmental stimuli or events and selecting adaptive actions under the guidance of affective markers. In this paper, "worki…
Bodies Meet Minds
The article describes a collaborative research project between choreographer Wayne McGregor and a team of neuroscientists and psychologists concerned with the relationship between mind and bodily movement. The project comprised several areas of research into the neurological and cognitive basis of movement. The article also discusses the mutual benefits of collaboration between the dancers and scientists
Renovating Charles Brockden Brown's Revolution
Charles Brockden Brown may have felt the belated effect of the American Revolution far more keenly and directly than any other American writer. Born a Quaker in 1771 in an increasingly antipatriarchal, Whiggish Philadelphia that was throwing off the legacy of William Penn as ruthlessly as it was seeking independence from the Crown, and whose raging paranoia needed to see conspiracy in parliament and pacifism, Brown experienced revolution as a hor…
Using Film Cutting Techniques in Interface Design
It has been suggested that computer interfaces could be made more usable if their designers utilized cinematography techniques, which have evolved to guide the viewer through a narrative despite frequent discontinuities in the presented scene (i.e., cuts between shots). Because of differences between the domains of film and interface design, it is not straightforward to understand how such techniques can be transferred. May and Barnard (1995) arg…
Representing Cognitive Activity in Complex Tasks
Although cognitive theory has been recognized as essential for the analysis of human-computer interaction (HCI), the representations that have been developed have been directed more toward theoretical purposes than practical application. To bridge the gap between theory and application, representations need to satisfy requirements for broad scope, a unified theoretical basis, and abstraction. Interacting cognitive subsystems (ICS) is proposed as …
Syndetic Modelling
User and system models typically are viewed as independent representations that provide complementary insights into aspects of human-computer interaction. Within system development, it is usual to see the 2 activities as separate, or at best loosely coupled, with either the design artifact or some third "mediatiag" expression providing the context in which the results of modelling can be related. This article proposes that formal system models ca…

I Am a Process with No Subject
Although in theory deconstruction has pronounced dead the idea of literature as a special category, in practice is has fostered what might be called a literature of a library of deconstruction. In exploring works by seven twentieth-century writers - Tzara, Beckett, Leiris, Blanchot, Joyce, Sollers, and Des Forets - Beitchman focuses on the shared qualities that make them central texts in the literature of deconstruction and in so doing reveals th…

Effects of response instructions and question style on the ease of completing forms
Three series of experiments are reported. Each series is concerned with a different aspect of efficient data collection via formalized question and answer protocols. In series 1 it is found that people are faster endorsing an answer (e.g. circle what does apply) than negating one (e.g. delete what does not apply). In series 2 it is found that people are faster responding to statements offering multiple alternatives within a sentence frame (e.g. I…
The temporal structure of natural telephone conversations (directory enquiry calls)
Investigations of face-to-face conversation have suggested that visually mediated cues play an important role in regulating speaker turns. By implication, conversational structure should be disrupted in no-vision conditions. This hypothesis was tested by focusing on natural telephone conversations. A total corpus of over 700 direct enquiry calls was examined, with detailed study of 18 of these conversations, which were subjected to temporal analy…
