An interactive conundrum: Constructs of interactivity and learning theory

TL;DR: The role and function of interactivity within computer enhanced learning is undergoing increased scrutiny and a reappraisal of learning theories in terms of their implications for interactivity and identifying the major interactive constructs is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial constancy mechanisms in motor control.

TL;DR: The emerging picture is that the brain computes an evolving representation of three-dimensional action space, whose internal metric is updated in a nonlinear way, by optimally integrating noisy and ambiguous afferent and efferent signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subjective magnitude of tactile roughness

TL;DR: The pleasantness of the tactile sensation, as assessed using AME, was inversely related to the roughness estimates, and hydration of the stratum corneum with water and three concentrations of surfactant solutions reduced the sensation of roughness below that of normally hydrated skin.
Journal ArticleDOI

The symbol detachment problem.

TL;DR: In a theoretical and developmental perspective, it is proposed that anticipation plays a crucial role in the detachment process: anticipatory representations, originally detached from the sensorimotor cycle for the sake of action control, are successively exapted for bootstrapping increasingly complex cognitive capabilities.

An occupant response shelter escape time (ORSET) model

TL;DR: In this article, an occupant response shelter escape time (ORSET) model is advocated as a framework unifying aspects of psychology, architecture, engineering and facilities management to define people's knowledge of their surroundings.
