โœฆ Synopsis

Riding a bicycle can be considered as a combination of perceptual-motor and cognitive tasks. The task is divided into three functional levels: control, manoeuvring and strategic. Relevant (cognitive) abilities at the first two levels must be acquired and automatized through extensive experience. The processes which are not yet automatized may claim attention and will, therefore, interfere with other processes demanding attention. In this experiment, subjects of various ages and bicycling experience participated. The hypothesis was verified that novice cyclists cannot accomplish traffic-relevant cognitive tasks while they ride a bicycle; possible countermeasures were discussed.

Depression often is characterized by a subjective sense of social inadequacy. Behavioral theories explain this as an accurate perception of a social skills deficit. Cognitive theories explain the experience as the result of a negatively biased self-appraisal, although social skills may be adequate.

In this paper, a systematic method that predicts limit cycle oscillations in a hydroelectric system with governor deadband on the parameter plane is presented. A new technique for constructing limit cycle loci on this plane is also proposed. This approach is based on the characteristic equation as w

In this paper, we review ICARUS, a cognitive architecture that utilizes hierarchical skills and concepts for reactive execution in physical environments. In addition, we present two extensions to the framework. The first involves the incorporation of means-ends analysis, which lets the system compos
