Affective Mimetics, Emotional Information Space, and Metaverse

2021

Current technology design pursues applying human-like features to AI technologies. These attempts have faced many challenges due to the essential complexities of the human mind. Cognitive mimetics is a design approach to mimic human information processes in designing intelligent technologies. The focus is on mimicking cognition, human knowledge structures, and represented mental information contents which addresses a fundamental issue in technology design. However, cognition is one aspect of information processing in the human mind. Affective information processing also plays an essential role in addressing the meaningfulness of cognitive processes. This paper discusses affective mimetics (…

Ajattelun kielen evoluutio : sosiaalisen älykkyyden hypoteesi ihmisen erityispiirteiden selittäjänä

2010

Tutkielmassa luodaan katsaus ihmisen evoluutioon ja hänet muista kädellisistä erottaviin kognitiivisiin erityispiirteisiin. Näitä piirteitä tarkastellaan komputationaalisen mielenteorian viitekehyksessä. Ihmisen kognitiiviset erityispiirteet pyritään määrittelemään ja niiden kehityksen selittäjäksi esitetään sosiaalisen preadaptaation hypoteesi. Hypoteesi perustuu usean eri alojen tuottamaan tietoon ihmisen lajikehityksestä ja evoluution lainalaisuuksista sekä muiden kädellisten kognitiivisista kyvyistä. Tutkielman kannalta keskeisimmät teoriat ovat sosiaalisen älykkyyden hypoteesi, jonka mukaan kädellisten suuret aivot ovat kehittyneet vastauksena näiden eläinten monimutkaiseen sosiaalisee…

Technology in culture : a theoretical discourse on convergence in human-technology interaction

2014

Technology touches so many facets of contemporary life that one is not necessarily conscious any more of how and why it affects daily experience. Awareness of technology’s role often surfaces only when something goes wrong with a product. At that moment, people become aware of a misalignment between their ways of thinking, feeling and behaving, and the form/function of a product, presumably designed to make life easier. Equally ubiquitous and beyond daily awareness are cognitive, affective, and behavioural processes patterned by culture. It has been noted that cultural factors influence the perception and usage of technology. Understanding these processes is important to researchers, design…

Apperceiving visual elements in human-technology interaction design

2017

Visual design of technological artefacts is an integral part of peoples’ experiences in technology-interaction. Visual product properties are capable of eliciting affective responses and multisensorial experiences in human- technology interaction. Current research in the field of human-technology interaction focuses on visual, emotional and multisensory aspects of interaction in addition to functionality and usability. However, the focus has not been on how performative aspects of visual elements affect technology-interaction as a cognitive sense making process shaping human experiences. To design technological contact points to be made sense of, the substance of visual representations requ…

Visual search in graphical interfaces : a user psychological approach

2003

Marketta Niemelä yhdistää väitöskirjassaan käyttäjän psykologian tutkimusta ihmisen ja tietokoneen välisen vuorovaikutuksen tutkimukseen. Ei riitä, että tunnetusta psykologiasta irrotetaan soveltuvaa detaljitietoa käyttöliittymien suunnittelun tueksi, vaan käyttäjää on pystyttävä ymmärtämään syvällisemmin, jotta pystytään suunnittelemaan helppokäyttöisiä tietokoneita. Ihmistä on tutkittava silloin, kun hän toimii tietokoneen kanssa.Marketta Niemelä painottaa käyttäjäpsykologista näkökulmaa käyttöliittymien tutkimuksessa. Erityisesti ihmisen psykologisen tiedonkäsittelyn periaatteiden tunteminen on tärkeää. Tiedonkäsittelypsykologia eli kognitiivinen psykologia tutkii muun muassa ihmisen hav…

Using the centre-periphery framework to explore human-carnivore relations

2023

Unidad de excelencia María de Maeztu CEX2019-000940-M Living alongside carnivores can incur both costs and benefits on people's lifeways. While positive outcomes of carnivore presence can foster coexistence, negative relations with carnivores can trigger carnivores' killing and undermine their conservation. In response to this, conservation efforts increasingly focus on promoting positive human-carnivore relations, most often through improvements in the flow of economic benefits from carnivores to local communities. However, there is a question mark over the effectiveness and potential consequences of market-based instruments for carnivore conservation. To understand the opportunities and p…

Assessing tolerance for wildlife: human-elephant conflict in Chimanimani, Mozambique

2020

Human–elephant conflict (HEC) is a common problem for rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent studies have shown that willingness to tolerate wildlife is largely a function of perceived risks and benefits, but most technical assessments are limited to the immediate cause of the conflict and neglect the broader socioeconomic and political contexts. Based on two sets of interviews, this article provides a socioeconomic analysis of HEC in the buffer zone of Chimanimani National Reserve in Mozambique. Although traditional methods to scare off elephants were found to have little effect, a beehive fence introduced in 2016 initially appeared to be successful. However, follow-up three years…
