Who Uses Television Captions, When, and Why? Analyses Based on the Australian Television Caption Users Survey
Despite the popularity of television captioning among deaf and hard-of-hearing Australians and its utility for other sections of the community (e.g., second language learners of English), there is little systematic research on relevant factors in captioning and patterns of caption use. This paper reports data from the Television Caption Users Survey (conducted October–December, 2000), the largest Australian survey to date of caption users' viewin…
Parameters in Television Captioning for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Adults
Caption rate and text reduction are factors that appear to affect the comprehension of captions by people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These 2 factors are confounded in everyday captioning; rate (in words per minute) is slowed by text reduction. In this study, caption rate and text reduction were manipulated independently in 2 experiments to assess any differential effects and possible benefits for comprehension by deaf and hard-of-hearing ad…
U.K. Physicians'attitudes Toward Active Voluntary Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide
A comparison of the views of geriatric medicine physicians and intensive care physicians in the United Kingdom on the topics of active voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide revealed rather different attitudes. Eighty percent of geriatricians, but only 52% of intensive care physicians, considered active voluntary euthanasia as never justified ethically. Gender and age did not play a major part in attitudinal differences of the respon…
On What We Say
While the concept of `information' in Gibson's perceptual theory may risk becoming a form of how objects are `represented' in an animal's perceptual experience, the real work of the concept is in explanation of how animals maintain effective engagement with their surroundings. The way Gibson uses the term `information' makes it non-reliant on conceptual knowledge. Where his theorizing is more definitely in need of reconstruction is at the level o…
Toda Dairy Sites Apart from Hamlets
Toda tribals still have the most complicated variations in dairy ritual ever invented. Their sacred buffaloes of different grades support corresponding dairy grades in a spectrum from the least to the most sacred. Because of their greater sanctity, the highest dairy grades and corresponding sacred buffaloes are isolated from the hamlets exclusively inhabited by Todas. What better demonstrate complication than the highest ti grade which, once in c…
What Kind of Approach to Language Fits Gibson's Approach to Perception
Gibson's theorizing about perception represents a potent case against cognitivist constructions of that capacity. Primarily it is seen to apply in contexts not dependent upon language. Gibson's own position on language is argued to contain some unexamined characteristics which could create contradictions for his ecological (hence evolutionary) theorizing about perception. Subsequent attempts, by Verbrugge and by Reed, to come to grips with the is…
Tracing the emergence of modern human behavior
Meaning and the “Discursive Ecology”
On the Evolution of Language
Why the first colonisation of the Australian region is the earliest evidence of modern human behaviour
The Evolutionary Emergence of Modern Human Behaviour
The Archaeology of Perception
On Depiction and Language
Ethics, or issues in methodology
Intrusion upon people rendered relatively helpless, withholding of information and abuse of confidentiality, are examples of behaviour by psychologists which point to an element of presumption in their manner of operating. The rights of clients are not respected by this type of professional practice. In both research and professional work, psychologists have employed techniques involving coercion, deception, concealment and stress. Such practices…
