Schemas

12.1K
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.

Routes of Persuasion

66.0K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

127
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Problem-Solving

273
Effective problem-solving consists of two steps: 1. identifying the problem and 2. selecting the appropriate problem-solving strategy (i.e., a plan of action used to find a solution). Humans use four problem-solving strategies:

Strategies of Self-Presentation I: Strategic Self-Presentation

25
Strategic self-presentation refers to individuals' intentional efforts to influence how others perceive them. This process is employed in various social and professional settings, such as job interviews, dating, politics, and legal contexts, where individuals seek to shape impressions to gain social or material advantages. While people generally present themselves in ways that align with their authentic characteristics, external factors, such as cognitive load, can hinder their ability to...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

190
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Spatial Navigation

Background:

  • Wayfinding utilizes distinct strategies: response (habitual routes) and place (novel paths).
  • These strategies are underpinned by different neural systems: striatum for response and hippocampus for place.
  • Individual differences in wayfinding strategies exist, with noted sex and age variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively analyze multilevel factors influencing wayfinding strategies.
  • To characterize navigation as a complex information processing task.
  • To explore how computational demands and neural factors affect strategy selection.

Main Methods:

  • Multilevel analysis of wayfinding as an information processing task.
  • Examination of factors influencing strategy selection, including knowledge access and effort trade-offs.
  • Consideration of computational and neural circuit influences on navigation.

Main Results:

  • Wayfinding strategy is influenced by knowledge availability, access, effort, and risk-taking.
  • Computational demands and neural circuit factors modulate strategy use.
  • Sex differences (men favor place) and age differences (older adults favor response) are observed.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding wayfinding requires a multilevel approach considering cognitive, neural, and contextual factors.
  • Future research should link strategies to spatial knowledge measures and study naturalistic navigation.
  • Individual differences in wayfinding strategies reflect complex interactions between brain systems and environmental demands.
