Human-robot teaming: Perspective on analysis and implementation issues
2019
Interaction in a human-robot team in a changing environment is a big challenge. Several essential aspects that deserve investigation are at the base for efficient interactions. Among them the ability to produce a self-model and to apply elements from the theory of mind. This case is much more cumbersome than just implementing a system in which the various parts have to co-operate and collaborate to achieve a common goal. In the human-robot team, some factors that cannot be known before the execution phase intervene. Our goal is to investigate how a human-human team works and replicate it on the robot by defining a new cognitive architecture which attempts to model all the involved issues. T…
How Can Authorities Support Distributed Improvisation During Major Crises? A Study of Decision Bottlenecks Arising During Local COVID-19 Vaccine Roll…
2022
Despite the increased importance attributed to distributed improvisation in major crises, few studies investigate how central authorities can promote a harmonic, coordinated national response while allowing for distributed autonomy and improvisation. One idea implicit in the literature is that central authorities could help track and tackle common decision bottlenecks as they emerge across “improvising” local authorities as a result of shared, dynamic external constraints. To explore this idea we map central functions needed to roll-out vaccines to local populations and identify and classify bottlenecks to decision-making by local authorities managing COVID-19 vaccine roll-out in Norway. W…
Perceptual uncertainty is a property of the cognitive system
2012
AbstractWe qualify Frost's proposals regarding letter-position coding in visual word recognition and the universal model of reading. First, we show that perceptual uncertainty regarding letter position is not tied to European languages – instead it is a general property of the cognitive system. Second, we argue that a universal model of reading should incorporate a developmental view of the reading process.
Global Cognitive Functioning versus Controlled Functioning throughout the Stages of Development
2020
According to the All or None Hypothesis (Diamond, 2009), the cognitive system can operate in a global manner that is not very discriminate or in a more discriminate mode that demands greater precision, control, and cognitive effort. There are five corollaries to this hypothesis that describe, in an operative way, the conditions under which the controlled mode of functioning in the cognitive domain can be activated and thus tested. Given the impact this theory has generated and the absence of studies analyzing the corollaries in a collective and systematic way at different stages of development, this study was proposed, first of all, to test three of these corollaries in children, adolescent…
