AbstractEncoding and recognising complex natural sequences provides a challenge for human vision. We found that observers could recognise a previously presented segment of a video of a hearth fire when embedded in a longer sequence. Recognition performance declined when the test video was spatially inverted, but not when it was hue reversed or temporally reversed. Sampled motion degraded forwards/reversed playback discrimination, indicating observers were sensitive to the asymmetric pattern of motion of flames. For brief targets, performance increased with target length. More generally, performance depended on the relative lengths of the target and embedding sequence. Increased errors with embedded sequence length were driven by positive responses to non-target sequences (false alarms) rather than omissions. Taken together these observations favour interpreting performance in terms of an incremental decision-making model based on a sequential statistical analysis in which evidence accrues for one of two alternatives. We also suggest that prediction could provide a means of providing and evaluating evidence in a sequential analysis model.

Discrimination Hypothesis

To test the discrimination hypothesis of the partial reinforcement effect in extinction, partial or continuous reinforcement trials were interpolated between the initial training trials of partial or continuous reinforcement and the extinction period. 112 children from Grades 2 and 3 participated in one of four conditions. Children receiving two consecutive blocks of partial reinforcement showed the greatest resistance to extinction, children receiving two consecutive blocks of continuous reinforcement showed the weakest resistance, and those receiving partial reinforcement followed by continuous reinforcement or vice versa showed intermediate levels of resistance. Discrimination between training and extinction does not seem to be the critical factor involved in the partial reinforcement effect. The results were discussed in terms of a stimulus analyzer or a sequential analysis model.

Shed Light

Daylight is currently at the centre of discourse on architectural space. The definition of architectural space takes essence from Euclidean geometry related to metric dimensions. The present study is an attempt to shed light on topology which is a non-Euclidean geometry. It can support non-metric components of space such as light to define architectural space. A corpus of six European museums has been chosen to study the immaterial or material relationships between form and daylight, since light is an essential element for the success of the exhibition. It also seeks to highlight discontinuity reports, and to confirm their existence through their software visualizations Therefore, the current study has taken into account an analysis model based on the notions of "route" and "sequence". The contemporary architectural project focused on taking into account human postures, both physical and psychological, within the architectural space. The results obtained show that light can release other spatial features for the museum space that can be highlighted by visualization with sequential analysis.

Significant Support

Three prominent theories of writing were found in a literature review of Psychlit, educational journals and Medline, and a fourth global theory relating writing to intact cerebral integrity was also hypothesized. These theories were then tested by attempting to predict writing scores among a sample of 44 individuals with academic difficulties. Significant support was found for a memory and attention model, the dysgraphia model, and an abstract sequential analysis model. Surprisingly, measures of the overall cortical integrity were not significantly related to writing behavior in this sample, but this finding may reflect excluding brain damaged subjects in this study. Also, the abstract sequential analysis model appeared to function differently than expected. The results indicate it is important to assess the cognitive contributions of writing difficulties to guide remediation. Larger scale research on the sources of writing disorders is also recommended.

Distinct Increase

The clay mineralogy of the Upper Paleocene and Eocene "plastic clay" sediments has been investigated from a new borehole in the Great Belt of Denmark. Predominant smectite, with small amounts of illite, kaolinite and, in the Holmehus Fm., chlorite, have been identified in the Upper Paleocene sediments. Abundant smectite and increased amounts of kaolinite and illite, with little chlorite, are present in the Eocene sediments. The Tertiary section of the borehole has been divided into two zones; one dominated by smectite with trace amount of kaolinite, including the Upper Paleocene and the Rl-R3 Beds of R!llsnres Clay Fm.; another characterized by the distinct increase of kaolinite and the relative decrease of smectite, including the R4-R6 and the Ll-lA Beds of Eocene sediments. Regionally, smectite content decreases, while kaolinite and illite increase from the north to the south and southeast in the Eocene sediments. No clear trend has been recognized in the Upper Paleocene sediments. The effect of material source, palaeoclimate and depositional environment on clay mineral distribution is discussed. The high content of smectite is considered to be mainly attributed to the alteration and/or weathering of volcanic material, contributions of smectitic clay from carbonate terrains and far trans­ported suspended matter from north-northwest. The change in climatic conditions may also be of importance. The distinct increase in kaolinite content of the Eocene sediments is thought to be related to a elastic source to the south and southeast and to the warmer climatic conditions.
