We present a brief outline of the development of research in visual perception with the advent of new technologies up to New Media and virtual environments. There is a mutual inspiration and benefiting between fundamental and applied research and technological progress which should be utilized by the disciplines involved. Next, an overview of a conference, held in Nara (Japan) September 2001, is given of which different selections of articles are presented in the current special issues of the Swiss Journal of Psychology and of Japanese Psychological Research.

Entornos Virtuales

Los avances tecnológicos modifican el proceso educativo, la intencionalidad de los hechos o acciones del docente y los estudiantes se ven influenciados por su entorno, uno de ellos el tecnológico. Una de las opciones que la tecnología ofrece para mejorar el proceso educativo, son los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje. Éste proyecto de investigación se basa en la plataforma Moodle, aplicación utilizada como complemento a la enseñanza presencial para el enfoque de educación basado en competencias. Los EVA (Entornos Virtuales de Aprendizaje), fundamentados en el constructivismo colaborativo, implementan nuevas técnicas como el taller virtual, portafolios de evidencias, ciberdiario o los casos virtuales, los cuales promueven el desarrollo de las competencias profesionales en la creación de software. The technological advances modify the educational process, the premeditation of the facts or actions of the teacher and the students are influenced by their environment, one of them is the technological progress. One of the options that the technology offers is to improve the educational process, they are the virtual environments of learning. This research project is based on the Moodle platform, this application is used as a complement to the traditional teaching to guide it to the education based on competences. VEL (Virtual Environments of Learning), based on the collaborative constructivism, implements new technologies as the virtual workshop, evidences portfolio, cyber-journals or virtual cases, which promote the development of the professional competences in designing software.

Ambulatory assessment of emotional states as well as psychophysiological, cognitive and behavioral reactions constitutes an approach, which is increasingly being used in psychological research. Due to new developments in the field of information and communication technologies and an improved application of mobile physiological sensors, various new systems have been introduced. Methods of experience sampling allow to assess dynamic changes of subjective evaluations in real time and new sensor technologies permit a measurement of physiological responses. In addition, new technologies facilitate the interactive assessment of subjective, physiological, and behavioral data in real-time. Here, we describe these recent developments from the perspective of engineering science and discuss potential applications in the field of neuropsychology.

Great Acceptance

<span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Recent evolutions of social networks, virtual environments, Web technologies and 3D virtual worlds motivate the adoption of new technologies in education, opening successive innovative possibilities. These technologies (or tools) can be employed in distance education scenarios, or can also enhance traditional learning-teaching (blended or hybrid learning scenario). It is known and a wide advocated issue that laboratory practice is essential to technical education, foremost in engineering. In order to develop a feasible implementation to this research area, a prototype was developed, called 3DAutoSysLab, in which a metaverse is used as social collaborative interface, experiments (real or simulated) are linked to virtual objects, learning objects are displayed as interactive medias, and guiding/feedback are supported via an autonomous tutoring system based on user's interaction data mining. This prototype is under test, but preliminary applied results indicate great acceptance and increase of motivation of students.</span></span></span>

Action Effect

Technological progress and competition between companies in the globalization era are increasing. New media plays an increasingly important role in advertising and marketing. In addition, companies’ survival depends on the presence of audiences/ consumers. Therefore, it is important and interesting to study how to utilize this new media/technology; how effective and efficient digital advertising and marketing strategies are in appealing to the audience; and how to ensure the products offered are acceptable to the target audience. This study carried out a literature review using a qualitative approach to obtain a framework of important concepts and strategies for effective marketing and advertising. It is important to pay attention to the objectives, audience and distribution / media of advertising and marketing. The use of various media such as social media, online advertising, digital signage and endorsers are also important factors in advertising and marketing success.

This article is the result of noticing the need to transpose the gatekeeping theory. Technological progress has left its mark on the media ecosystem, generating and then strengthening the convergence processes, and has also changed the understanding of gatekeeping. The architecture of new media, especially social media, places gatekeeping in the context of the network. This allows one to look at the classically understood process from a new perspective, in which the key is to base the concept on network diffusion. Contemporary gatekeeping should be analyzed in the context of such mechanisms as: information bubble, echo chamber, filtering information by users and algorithms. Basic conceptual categories, the gate and the keeper, are also modified. There is a noticeable trend towards the transformation of gatekeeping towards gatewatching, in which social media users do not create their own gates, but observe and use already existing gates. Gatekeeping in the era of social media makes the audience an important element of it, moving towards secondary gatekeeping.
