  • The Effect of Expected Value on Attraction Effect Preference Reversals

    Open AccessGeorge Farmer, Paul A Warren et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Decision…2016Cited by: 1References: 1

    The attraction effect shows that adding a third alternative to a choice set can alter preference between the original two options. For over 30 years, this simple demonstration of context dependence has been taken as strong evidence against a class of parsimonious value-maximising models that evaluate alternatives independently from one another. Significantly, however, in previous demonstrations of the attraction effect alternatives are approximat…

  • Scalable Proactive Event-Driven Decision Making

    Open AccessAlexander Artikis, Chris Baber et al.ARTICLEIEEE Technology and Society…2014

    This paper proposes a methodology for proactive event-driven decision making. Proper decisions are made by forecasting events prior to their occurrence. Motivation for proactive decision making stems from social and economic factors, and is based on the fact that prevention is often more effective than the cure. The decisions are made in real time and require swift and immediate processing of Big Data, that is, extremely large amounts of noisy da…

  • Harmony and Tension on Social Network Sites

    Jens F Binder, Jens Binder et al.ARTICLEInformation Communication & Society2012

    The need to maintain harmony among one's social contacts is proposed in this paper to impose constraints on the interconnectivity between users of social network sites (SNS). A particular focus is on the connectivity between different social spheres. It is hypothesized that the type and number of social spheres and technological features of SNS interact such that increased levels of social tension result. These ideas are supported by the findings…

  • Strategies for Guiding Interactive Search

    Duncan P Brumby, Andrew HowesARTICLEHuman-Computer Interaction2008

    When searching a novel Web page, people often estimate the likelihood that labeled links on the page will lead to their goal. A rational analysis of this activity suggests that people should adjust their estimate of the likelihood that any one item will lead to the goal in a manner that is sensitive to the context provided by the likelihoods that other items on the page will lead to the goal. Two experiments were designed to provide evidence to d…

  • Learning in the contact zone

    Andrew Howe, Andrew HowesARTICLECompare A Journal of Comparative…2007Cited by: 3References: 8

    Development rhetoric sometimes appears to take little account of the contingencies of relationships, activities and events, as if human interaction and understanding is being written out of the process. At the same time, practices such as volunteering, which foreground the human subjects involved in development, are often ignored by development professionals, despite (or perhaps because of) the high proportion of development agency staff who are …

  • Teacher learning and the development of inclusive practices and policies

    Andrew Howe, Andrew Howes et al.ARTICLEResearch Papers in Education2005Cited by: 5References: 5

    The process of a school becoming more inclusive involves teacher learning. The Economic and Social Research Council Teaching and Learning Research Programme (ESRC TLRP) research and development Network ‘Understanding and Developing Inclusive Practices in Schools’ presented an opportunity both to understand the nature of this learning and to explore more optimal conditions for it to take place. By comparing and contrasting the findings from three …

  • The Role of Cognitive Architecture in Modeling the User

    Andrew Howes, Richard M YoungARTICLEHuman-Computer Interaction1997

    What is the role of a cognitive architecture in shaping a model built within it? Compared with a model written in a programming language, the cognitive architecture offers theoretical constraints. These constraints can be "soft," in that some ways of constructing a model are facilitated and others made more difficult, or they can be "hard," in that certain aspects of a model are enforced and others ruled out. We illustrate a variety of these poss…

  • The Nature of Device Models

    Stephen A Payne, Stephen Payne et al.ARTICLEHuman-Computer Interaction1990

    To construct a conceptual model of a device, the user must conceptualize the device's representation of the task domain. This knowledge can be represented by three components: a device-based problem space, which specifies the ontology of the device in terms of the objects that can be manipulated and their interrelations, plus the operators that perform the manipulations; a goal space, which represents the objects in terms of which user's goals ar…
