Crupi, Vincenzo; Nelson, Jonathan D.; Meder, Björn; Cevolani, Gustavo; Tentori, Katya – Cognitive Science, 2018
Searching for information is critical in many situations. In medicine, for instance, careful choice of a diagnostic test can help narrow down the range of plausible diseases that the patient might have. In a probabilistic framework, test selection is often modeled by assuming that people's goal is to reduce uncertainty about possible states of the…

Alegre, Alberto A.; Zumaeta, Pablo A. – Journal of Educational Psychology - Propositos y Representaciones, 2015
It is proposed that the problem of the mind-brain relationship can be overcome by a non-classical materialistic model of personality based on the information defined as a special form of negentropy with a structure and activity, which in five intra-individual categories, organizes all and each of the levels of the personality, and, in an…

Sappleton, Natalie; Lourenço, Fernando – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2016
This paper investigates the relationship between blank and non-blank email subject lines on levels of response to a solicitation to participate in an interview, and on participation in a web survey. Email use has grown substantially in recent years, presenting significant opportunity to the empiricist seeking research respondents. However,…

Cress, Ulrike; Held, Christoph; Kimmerle, Joachim – Computers & Education, 2013
Tag clouds generated in social tagging systems can capture the collective knowledge of communities. Using as a basis spreading activation theories, information foraging theory, and the co-evolution model of cognitive and social systems, we present here a model for an "extended information scent," which proposes that both collective and individual…

Savolainen, Reijo – Information Research: An International Electronic Journal, 2009
Introduction: The study contributes to the conceptual investigation of information use by reviewing the conceptions of epistemic work proposed by Cook and Brown, and knowing in practice proposed by Orlikowski. The above conceptions are developed in the field of organization science. Method: The key articles by Cook and Brown, and Orlikowski were…

Brady, Timothy F.; Konkle, Talia; Alvarez, George A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2009
The information that individuals can hold in working memory is quite limited, but researchers have typically studied this capacity using simple objects or letter strings with no associations between them. However, in the real world there are strong associations and regularities in the input. In an information theoretic sense, regularities…
