Schemas01:42

Schemas

A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.
Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned more cows, the larger...
Facilitated Transport01:19

Facilitated Transport

The chemical and physical properties of plasma membranes cause them to be selectively permeable. Since plasma membranes have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, substances need to be able to transverse both regions. The hydrophobic area of membranes repels substances such as charged ions. Therefore, such substances need special membrane proteins to cross a membrane successfully. In  facilitated transport, also known as facilitated diffusion, molecules and ions travel across a membrane via...

Contact-dependent Signaling01:19

Contact-dependent Signaling

Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.

Design Example01:23

Design Example

The innovation of touch-tone telephony revolutionized the telecommunications industry by replacing the traditional rotary dial with a dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signaling system. This system uses a matrix-style keypad with buttons arranged in four rows and three columns, creating 12 distinct signals each assigned to a pair of frequencies. Each button press results in a simultaneous generation of two sinusoidal tones – one from a low-frequency group (697 to 941 Hz) and one from a...

Area of Science:

  • Human-computer interaction
  • Cognitive psychology
  • Transportation safety

Background:

  • Manual phone manipulation is not the primary cause of driving impairment during texting.
  • Cognitive load from composing messages significantly contributes to driving degradation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if assistive text entry systems can reduce driving impairment caused by texting.
  • To compare the effectiveness of T9 predictive text versus multitap for in-vehicle texting.

Main Methods:

  • Undergraduate drivers participated in a driving simulator study.
  • Participants texted using either T9 predictive text or multitap interface while driving.

Main Results:

  • The T9 predictive text system demonstrated superior performance over the multitap interface.
  • Assistive technologies can modulate the negative impact of texting on driving capacity.

Conclusions:

  • Predictive text systems like T9 can mitigate driving task degradation caused by texting.
  • Specific assistive technologies offer a potential solution to reduce texting-related driving risks.
