Computer simulations for teaching an AI algorithm: The case of psychology students struggling with Support Vector Machines
No full textComputer simulations can be a great support in education, especially in learning contexts deemed too complex such as AI. In this work we examined how a web-based simulation implementing Support Vector Machines (an AI classification algorithm) can affect perceived learning and cognitive load in a group of psychology students. Results of this preliminary work suggest that the specific implemented simulation did not affect perceived learning but may have differently affected cognitive load in students with different educational backgrounds (scientific vs humanistic). Differences related to the high-school educational background are discussed and future perspectives are drawn

No full textArtificial Intelligence-powered cognitive training applications for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: A brief review
No full textAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder whose symptoms are related to poor learning outcomes, low executive functioning and parental stress. e-Health applications aimed at enhancing cognitive processes and executive functions for ADHD are emerging technologies. The present work reviews Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered applications developed for children with ADHD by highlighting their impact and scientific support. We considered both mobile and desktop applications. The first were selected from Google Play and Apple Store, whilst PCs applications were selected from online magazines devoted to ADHD. Related scientific studies were then identified through Google Scholar, PubMed, and APA PsycNET databases. Research results reveal a critical lack of scientific support for mobile applications, only 2 are supported; otherwise, PCs applications are supported by multiple studies, although with small samples. Some applications are provided with intelligent tutoring and self-paced learning activities, but more scientific studies are needed to test their effectiveness for supporting children with ADHD. In conclusion, these software are promising, however, there is still a paucity of scientific support, a crucial aspect when a tool is intended to improve specific difficulties of children with complex neurodevelopmental disorders
E-BTT in primary school-aged children: Preliminary results
No full textVisuospatial orientation of attention is the cognitive process that allows to orient and focus on stimuli presented in the visual field. A cognitive-attentional bias towards one side of the visual field, often the left side, derives from cerebral, evolutionary, and cultural factors. Such a leftward bias is often referred to as “pseudoneglect”. School-aged children gradually shift spatial attention to the left, with differences related to manual dominance or to possible neurodevelopmental disorders. The new Enhanced-Baking Tray Task (E-BTT) is an ecological task that enriches the spatial exploration evaluation procedure by adding a digital/hardware platform to automate the data collection. For the first time we administered the E-BTT to school-aged children with the aim to explore children's initial orientation of spatial attention and to compare their performances to those of a sample of young adults who showed a leftward preference. Results showed that children, as adults, shifted their attention leftward in the E-BTT task, however not prominently as adults. Our results show that performances on E-BTT support what has been reported in the literature on leftward spatial bias shown in other tasks: that it emerges during development in relation to biological, cultural and biomechanical factors
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

No full textVariations 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
