Planning in Collaborative Stigmergic Workspaces

2011

The paper investigates how the engineered capabilities of structuring the knowledge encoded in collaborative workspaces affect the collective intelligence of its users. The investigation is made for the particular case of collaborative planning and is grounded on the theoretical framework of stigmergic systems. The knowledge structure encoded in collaborative workspaces in the form of a conceptual hierarchical task network is analysed by building a multi-agent simulation to evaluate the performance of different planning strategies. The results show that different representational complexities of collaborative planning knowledge have a great impact over the collective intelligence when the u…

Punainen viiva kartalla? : Suomen diplomaattisuhteiden synty ja kehitys Etelä-Korean kanssa vuosina 1953-1989

2014

Tutkielmani avaa Suomen Etelä-Korea-suhteiden syntyä ja kehitystä vuosina 1953-1989. Etelä-Korea oli vuonna 2012 Suomen kolmanneksi suurin kauppakumppani Aasiassa tavarakaupalla mitattuna. Suomen Etelä-Korea-suhteiden synty ja kehitys eivät tapahtuneet itsestään, vaan veivät vuosikymmeniä ja monien aktiivisten toimijoiden työtunteja. Suomen diplomaattisuhteet solmittiin Etelä- ja Pohjois-Korean kanssa vuonna 1973. Suomen ja Etelä-Korean suhteita ei ole kovin laajasti tutkittu, joten tutkielmani avaa merkittävästi historiallista tietoa Suomen ja Etelä-Korean suhteiden ymmärtämiselle ja niiden edistämiselle. Tutkielmani kannalta oleellista on ensinnäkin se, mitkä tekijät vaikuttivat Suomen ja…

A comparative analysis on Finnish and Korean high school English textbooks in the perspective of communicative language teaching

2016

English textbooks are a key resource for English courses in both Finnish and Korean high schools. The present study aims to compare the similarities and differences of Finnish and Korean high school English textbooks and analyze them from the perspective of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) on which English textbooks of both countries are theoretically based. Two English textbooks have been selected from each country for this research. One textbook is targeted for 10th grade and the other for 11th grade. The textbooks have been analyzed according to six dimensions: textbook structure, vocabulary, language forms, topics and cultural backgrounds, communicative functions, and activities fo…

Are You Taking the Fastest Route to the RESTAURANT?

2018

Abstract. Most words in books and digital media are written in lowercase. The primacy of this format has been brought out by different experiments showing that common words are identified faster in lowercase (e.g., molecule) than in uppercase (MOLECULE). However, there are common words that are usually written in uppercase (street signs, billboards; e.g., STOP, PHARMACY). We conducted a lexical decision experiment to examine whether the usual letter-case configuration (uppercase vs. lowercase) of common words modulates word identification times. To this aim, we selected 78 molecule-type words and 78 PHARMACY-type words that were presented in lowercase or uppercase. For molecule-type words,…

The role of the frequency of constituents in compound words: evidence from Basque and Spanish.

2008

Recent data from compound word processing suggests that compounds are recognized via their constituent lexemes (Juhasz, Starr, Inhoff, & Placke, 2003). The present lexical decision experiment manipulated orthogonally the frequency of the constituents of compound words in two languages: Basque and Spanish. Basque and Spanish diverge widely in their morphological properties and in the number of existing compound words. Furthermore, the head lexeme (i.e., the most meaningful lexeme related to the whole-word meaning) in Spanish tends to be the second lexeme, whereas in Basque the percentage is more distributed. Results showed a facilitative effect of the frequency of the second lexeme, in both …

Stereotype threat and lift effects on perceived ability and motor task performance of high school physical education students: the moderating role of…

2016

This study investigated the effects of stereotype threat and lift on perceived ability and motor task performance, and tested the moderating effects of stereotype endorsement and domain identification. One hundred and twenty French high school students were randomly assigned to control, stereotype threat, or stereotype lift conditions, in a 3 (condition) × 2 (sex) study design. The results revealed a stereotype lift effect on boys’ performance moderated by domain identification and a stereotype threat effect on girls’ perceived ability moderated by domain identification and stereotype endorsement. Perceived ability did not mediate the effects of stereotype threat and lift on performance. Th…

Resolving the locus of cAsE aLtErNaTiOn effects in visual word recognition: Evidence from masked priming.

2015

Determining the factors that modulate the early access of abstract lexical representations is imperative for the formulation of a comprehensive neural account of visual-word identification. There is a current debate on whether the effects of case alternation (e.g., tRaIn vs. train) have an early or late locus in the word-processing stream. Here we report a lexical decision experiment using a technique that taps the early stages of visual-word recognition (i.e., masked priming). In the design, uppercase targets could be preceded by an identity/unrelated prime that could be in lowercase or alternating case (e.g., table-TABLE vs. crash-TABLE; tAbLe-TABLE vs. cRaSh-TABLE). Results revealed that…
