What stays in memory? Evidence on how an indicator of a motor impairment affects retention of performance contents
Get PDFIn einem Experiment wurde untersucht, wie die Bewertung einer schriftlichen Leistung und das Gedächtnis für deren Inhalt durch eine Information über eine motorische Beeinträchtigung der Verfasserin des Aufsatzes beeinflusst wird. Studentische Versuchspersonen lasen zunächst einen Aufsatz und sollten diesen anschließend bewerten sowie Fragen zu dessen Inhalt beantworten. Drei Bedingungen wurden verglichen. Eine erste Gruppe erhielt einen in ansprechendem Schriftbild handschriftlich verfassten Aufsatz. Die zweite und dritte Gruppe erhielten hingegen den gleichen Aufsatz in einem unsaubereren Schriftbild verfasst. Nur der dritten Gruppe wurde außerdem eine knappe Zusatzinformation gegeben, nach der die Autorin durch eine Diparese motorisch beeinträchtigt sei. Es ergaben sich zwei Hauptbefunde. Zum einen wurde der Aufsatz signifikant besser bewertet, wenn er in schöner Handschrift abgefasst war. Zum anderen beeinträchtigte die Zusatzinformation das Behalten des Aufsatzinhalts. Diese Befunde deuten an, wie vom Leistungsinhalt unabhängige Information über eine motorische Beeinträchtigung Leistungsbewertungen verzerren können. (DIPF/Orig.)In an experiment, we examined how grades for an essay written by a student as well as memory for its content are influenced by giving the information about a motor impairment of that student. Participants read an essay, subsequently grading it and answering questions concerning its content. Three conditions were compared. The first group received the essay in appealing handwriting. The second and third group received the same essay but in scrawly handwriting. Only the third group was additionally informed about a motor impairment of the author (diparesis). There were two main results. First, grades for the essay in appealing handwriting were significantly better as compared to scrawly handwriting. Second, the additional information impaired memory for the content of the essay. These findings suggest that information about a motor impairment can distort performance evaluation. (DIPF/Orig.
Flexible Zielanpassung und hartnäckige Zielverfolgung zur Aufrechterhaltung der subjektiven Lebensqualität in Entwicklungskrisen
No full textPsychodiagnostik für die Praxis : TAKIWA, Göttinger Entwicklungstest der Taktil-Kinästhetischen Wahrnehmung
No full textBeim TAKIWA handelt es sich um ein nach den Prinzipien der klassischen Testtheorie konstruiertes Verfahren für die Einzeluntersuchung taktiler und kinästhetischer Wahrnehmungsleistungen bei Vorschulkindern,
das auch die Indikationsstellung von Therapie- und Fördermaßnahmen und die Klärung differenzialdiagnostischer Fragestellungen ermöglichen soll. Die taktil-kinästhetische Wahrnehmung als Teil des somatosensorischen
Systems umfasst die Aufnahme von Haut- und Bewegungsreizen über spezifische Rezeptoren und deren Weiterleitung über das Rückenmark an Hirnstamm, Thalamus und die sensorischen Areale des parietalen Kortex (s. Weiss, 2001). Taktile Perzeption — oft auch als Oberflächensensibilität bezeichnet - beinhaltet
die Wahrnehmung von Berührung, Druck, Temperatur, Oberflächenschmerz und Bewegung auf der Haut. Kinästhetische Wahrnehmung (Tiefensensibilität)
bezeichnet die Wahrnehmung der eigenen Körperbewegung (bzw. Bewegung von Körperteilen), des muskulären Spannungszustandes und der Körperhaltung.unknownunknow
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
