The Impact

Present study deals with the impact of social network technologies like email, web forums, chat rooms, wikis, and idea forums on individual mental models and collective wisdom. Theme of collective wisdom has been explored from a systemic perspective considering the parameters that help the organizations and their constituent groups to create and share knowledge, collectively reflect and find sustainable solutions to the problems. Role played by the social media and network technologies in connecting people; facilitating dialogue; knowledge sharing, flexibility and collaboration leading to improved mental models and collective wisdom has been studied in detail using an Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach.

Motion Capturing

The introduction and popularity of the Nintendo Wii home console has brought attention to the natural mapping motion capturing controller. Using a sample that identified sports as their most frequently played video games, a mental models approach was used to test the impact that perceived controller naturalness (traditional controller vs. natural mapping motion capturing controller) had on perceptions of spatial presence, realism, and enjoyment. The results showed that perceived video game realism is a predictor of spatial presence and enjoyment. Furthermore, the results supported predictions that controller naturalness would influence perceived video game realism of graphics and sound. Future research should investigate whether or not these controllers lead to greater presence and enjoyment in different genres of games (e.g., first-person shooters). In addition, future research should consider whether or not these controllers have the ability to prime violent mental models.

The Impact

We present a user study to investigate the impact of explanations on non-experts? understanding of reinforcement learning (RL) agents. We investigate both a common RL visualization, saliency maps (the focus of attention), and a more recent explanation type, reward-decomposition bars (predictions of future types of rewards). We designed a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants? mental models of an RL agent in a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. Our results show that the combination of both saliency and reward bars were needed to achieve a statistically significant improvement in mental model score over the control. In addition, our qualitative analysis of the data reveals a number of effects for further study.

Structure Measurement

In this paper we discuss the impact of differing knowledge structure measurement techniques on assessing instructor mental models for behaviors associated with Situation Awareness. Our goals were, first, to investigate the degree to which an expert model for such behaviors actually exists, and second, to determine the degree to which experts, varying along a number of dimensions, assess these behaviors using differing knowledge structure measurement techniques. The results show substantial agreement in concept relatedness across differing measures, but less agreement across differing expert groups. Our discussion focuses on the differing measures and their ability to assess the knowledge structures associated with experts differing in their training roles and we review the implications of these findings for training researchers.

The Impact

Learning organization refers to an organization that encourages its individuals to learn and consistently change its form. Organizations give both formal and casual procedures and structures for securing, sharing and utilization of information and abilities. Learning organizations come about due to pressures that are faced in the modern time organizations and vest these organizations to retain their aggressiveness in the business world. The learning organization urges organizations to move to a more interconnected mindset. Organizations ought to wind up more like networks that workers and its members can feel a responsibility towards them. The site of the investigation was at G4S Kenya Limited in Mombasa County. The specific objective was to determine the consequences of learning organization on the execution of G4S Kenya limited. The study was then guided by the following objectives; to find out the impact of systems thinking on performance of an organization, to determine how personal mastery affects the performance of an organization, to examine the influences of mental models on performance of an organization as well as to research on the impact of shared vision on performance of an organization. The study was guided by Argyris and Schön’s Theory and Systems Theory. The investigation was carried out on 150 representatives from G4S Kenya Limited. An adjusted Likert scale questionnaire separated into three (3) sections was created. A pilot study was done to fine-tune the instrument. Information gathered was reviewed on a PC by use of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 22) for Windows. The collected data was then examined using statistical methods of frequencies and percentages, with the aid of MS Excel. Charts, tables and bar graphs were then used to present the information. The summary of the main component of the study conclusion was based upon the research objectives. The researcher deduced that a system thinking provides continuous learning opportunities in the organization; embraces creative tension as a source of energy and renewal, link individual performance with organizational performance. This is because the majority of the respondents indicated that system thinking link individual performance with organizational performance. This component scored highly on the adjusted Likert scale; a clear indication of the importance of system thinking on the performance of G4S Kenya Limited. The investigation on the influences of learning organization on the performance of G4S Kenya limited was recommended for further study since it has brought to light the effect of systems thinking, personal mastery, and mental models and shared vision on organization performance.

The Impact

‘Attitudes and influence’ discusses how attitudes form, change, and predict behaviour; and how they are inherently social, defined, and refined in response to people in the world around us. Attitudes are a set of beliefs about an object, person, or issue and can be simple and clear, or complex and multifaceted. They are the basic building blocks of our mental models and inform and guide our ideals, aspirations, values, and ideologies. Attitudes predict our behaviour, and are therefore integral to who we are, what we do, and why we do it. The impact of persuasion, social influence, social norms, conformity, leadership, and social facilitation on our behaviour is also considered.
