Labelling and iconicity facilitate visual categorisation and discrimination
We investigated how the presence of linguistic labels, their iconicity and mode of presentation (cued vs not cued) affect non-linguistic cognitive processing, focussing on the learning and visual discrimination of new categories. Novel species of aliens that mimicked natural categories were paired with iconic labels, non-iconic labels or no labels across two tasks. In the Training task participants learnt to categorise the aliens, with results sh…
E” the People: Do U.S. Municipal Government Web Sites Support Public Involvement
To what extent do local government Web sites support practical, meaningful public involvement? Fifteen years after the adoption and diffusion of the World Wide Web, the answer to this question remains cloudy and controversial. The promise—and peril—of Web‐based public involvement, known as e‐democracy , has been widely debated. Much of the debate has focused on theoretical abstractions or extrapolations of current political or technological trend…
Bowling Alone but Online Together: Social Capital in E-Communities
In this paper, we present a non-technical overview of new forms of voluntary association called online (or e-) communities and explore the implications they present for community development theory and practice. E-communities are groups of people with common interests that communicate regularly, and for some duration, in an organized way over the Internet (Ridings et al., 2002). They are designed to provide users with a range of tools for learnin…
A comprehensive approach to the assessment of tax increment financing (TIF) projects
One of the most popular economic development incentive tools used today is Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Proponents of TIF argue that these incentive programs have fostered new investment and increased property tax revenues in areas that would otherwise have experienced negative growth. Opponents argue that TIF is now used in non-blighted areas-on projects that could have been completed with no special government subsidies. This paper describes …
Exploring Socio-Technical Analysis: Monsieur Latour is not Joking
Actor-network theorists have generated a number of practical research tools to follow the dynamics of science and technology. Latour, Mauguin and Teil have now added to this tradition by proposing a method which they call `socio-technical analysis'. This technique develops new quantitative indicators and graphic representations; this paper explores its potential for future science studies. After a review of the method's origins, it is applied to …
