1. 11. Participating in a Story: Exploring Audience Cognition

   Författare :Pierre Gander; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; memory; cognition; comprehension; Lingvistik; Psychology; Filosofi; Philosophy; computer games; interactive media; perspective; memory qualities; spatial cognition; fiction; narrative; cognitive science; linguistics; Psykologi; Applied and experimental psychology; Tillämpad och experimentell psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Stories that the audience can influence (such as computer games and other interactive multimedia), in contrast to 'traditional' stories (such as books and cinema), present a challenge to fields which take narrative (story) as their study object. What is the difference between these two kinds of stories? Earlier theories have focused on differences in media, structure, or the audience's physical actions. LÄS MER

3. 12. Dream Experience - Phenomenology meets Cognitive Neuroscience

   Författare :Lennart Karlsson; Filosofiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Philosophical logic; dream symbolism; neuroscience; delusional states; visual awareness; lucid dreaming; Phenomenology; dreaming; Teoretisk filosofi; logik;

   Sammanfattning : This treatise examines what I call the ‘traditional view’ on the phenomenology of dreaming. According to this view, dreams are experienced in more or less the same way as waking reality – that is, our experience of “being-in-the-dream” is very much like our experience of “being-in-the-world”.

4. 13. Perceptual Surface Reconstruction

   Författare :Jens Månsson; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; system; kontroll; Psychology; Psykologi; numerisk analys; Datalogi; systems; control; numerical analysis; Surface; Contour; Depth; Vision; Binocular; Computer science;

   Sammanfattning : How does the brain transform the 2-D light arrays in our eyes into a meaningful 3-D description of surfaces around us? What assumptions does the visual system make about the world when information is incomplete? And how are these assumptions computationally expressed in this perceptual reconstruction process? These questions, and other aspects of binocular depth perception are analysed from a theoretical and computational perspective, as well as through empirical investigations. In paper one, the fundamentals of stereopsis are briefly reviewed, and the difficulties related with resolving the (stereo) correspondence problem are particularly discussed. LÄS MER

5. 14. Visual attention during decision-making in natural environments

   Författare :Kerstin Gidlöf; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; decision-making; visual attention; process tracing; consumer behaviour;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates visual attention during decision-making in natural environments in four different studies. The first study demonstrated that decisions in the supermarket were suboptimal and this did not seem to relate to the amount of products attended to or the amount of time spent on each product.

7. 15. What makes good educational software?

   Författare :Björn Sjödén; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; educational technology; educational software; teachable agents; learning; assessment;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates educational software: computer software applications which serve to support teachers and improve learning outcomes for students. It aims to delineate the field of educational technology research as an interdisciplinary field and exemplify some of the methods used for approaching the many research questions that arise from asking what makes good educational software.
