Eye scanning of multi-element displays: I. Scanpath planning
No full textWe recorded oculomotor scanpaths in a task that required individuals to scan through displays consisting of a small number (between 3 and 12) of near-identical items. The task required each item to be fixated at least once and our objective was to explore the principles governing the generation of scanpaths. In general the observers carried out the task efficiently, although omissions occurred quite frequently (about 25% of trials) in the 12-item case. Backtracking occurred rarely except in the case of immediate rescanning back to the previously fixated item. Such immediate backtracking occurred on about 4% of fixations and, in contrast to more distant backtracking, was not associated with increased errors. Evidence was found for both directional (raster-like) scanning strategies and scanning strategies based on the global external contour
Saccade target selection: do distractors affect saccade accuracy? [In special issue: Visual Attention: Psychophysics, Electrophysiology and Neuroimaging]
No full textA study is reported in which eye movements were recorded when observers attempted to make a saccade to a target in the presence of a nearby and visually identical distractor. It was found that saccade targeting accuracy was completely unaffected by the presence of the distractor, except in the cases where the distractor was on the same axis as that of the saccadic movement. In this condition, some saccades landed between target and distractor, thus showing the global effect finding, known to occur when saccades are made to stimuli with sudden onset. The result demonstrates that a perceptual selection process, operating with higher resolution than that often associated with covert visual attention, can be used in the selection of saccadic targets
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

No full textAppropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
