Do Sign Language Videos Improve Web Navigation for Deaf Signer Users
The efficacy of video-based sign language (SL) navigation aids to improve Web search for Deaf Signers was tested by two experiments. Experiment 1 compared 2 navigation aids based on text hyperlinks linked to embedded SL videos, which differed in the spatial contiguity between the text hyperlink and SL video (contiguous vs. distant). Deaf Signers' performance was similar in Web search using both aids, but a positive correlation between their word …
Reading Strategies and Hypertext Comprehension
The literature on assessing the cognitive processes involved in hypertext comprehen-sion during the past 15 years has yielded contradictory results. In this article we ex-plore a possible factor affecting this situation, mainly the fact that previous works did not control for the potential effects on comprehension of reading strategies in hyper-text. In Experiment 1, results showed that reading strategies selectively affect the textbase and the s…
Cognitive flexibility and adaptability to environmental changes in dynamic complex problem-solving tasks
People who show good performance in dynamic complex problem-solving tasks can also make errors. Theories of human error fail to fully explain when and why good performers err. Some theories would predict that these errors are to some extent the consequence of the difficulties that people have in adapting to new and unexpected environmental conditions. However, such theories cannot explain why some new conditions lead to error, while others do not…
Love and Power in Mexico, Spain, and the United States
The semantic differential technique was used to examine the subjective meaning of the concepts "love" and "power" in Mexico, Spain, and the United States. The following groups were tested: 102 Mexicans and 97 Spaniards in Spanish and 78 Hispanic Americans and 79 Anglo Americans in English. All subjects were college-age students. The evaluation dimension of the subjective meaning of love was significantly lower for Mexicans than for the other grou…
