In this paper, we analyze game protocols for a Memo elderly users. We show how can use generative statistical models to automatically reveal different playing strategies. present quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the approach on simulated real data. that reliably detect strategies those strategy profiles uncover relevant information players beyond pure performance measures.
Atmosphere can be defined as the affective quality of an environment. Prior research has shown that music influence how environment is affectively perceived. In current study, we systematically examined in three experiments musical and spatial atmosphere interact overall valence atmosphere. Experiments 1a ( n = 50) 1b 136), identified two rooms pieces strongly contrast perceived 2 3, 32 participants each were exposed to four combinations for 10-min periods on different days. Perceived was...
Summary In the present study, we examined impact of interaction environmental and task‐induced attentional focus on time perception, specifically awareness flow. We tested 48 participants in either a natural or urban setting over three 25‐ to 35‐min sessions. manipulated within‐subjects factor task by means two tasks—one requiring directed attention itself, other undirected environment—alongside control condition with no specific task. measured awareness, passage judgments, felt estimated as...
The subjective experience of time has many different facets. present study focused on awareness and its antipode timelessness as an expression the extent one focuses passage time. In exploratory mixed-methods study, we investigated extents this their relation to perceived valence environment, states consciousness, strategies cope with doing nothing. Thirty-three participants were tested for hour or more sitting exploring within-subjects factor. For each condition, they stayed in two...
Abstract. Apathy is a diminished goal-directed behavior stemming from lack of motivation. It one the most common symptoms in dementia. While Evaluation Scale (AES) has proved to be psychometrically robust measure for assessing apathy, German version (AES D ) requires further validation. Associations apathy with important variables dementia care, such as cognitive impairment or caregiver burden, were repeatedly found, though contradictory findings have also been reported. The present study...
How do students integrate their cognitive insights gained from dialogues with the oldest old persons? The lecture provides insight into an exploratory evaluation of self-reflexions written by students, which they prepared after intergenerational seminar. acquisition experience and world view strategies adopting perspectives play a central role. In all reflexions, dialogue partner is consistently addressed. Students also wrote about process integrating new knowledge. We can interpret it as...
Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird das innovative Schulungskonzept Quadem vorgestellt. Das Projektvorhaben nutzt zwei wissenschaftlich evaluierte und in der Praxis bewährte Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen: 1. Tandem, Trainings für familiär, professionell ehrenamtlich Pflegende zur Steigerung von sozialen Schlüsselkompetenzen, insbesondere Kommunikations- Kooperationsfähigkeiten sowie 2. THELIA, ein Programm Schulung familiär Pflegender, diese die Lage versetzt, demenzkranke Menschen zentrale Lebensthemen...
In an ever-accelerating world, experiences free of outcome expectancy and time pressure for the pursuit intrinsic activities are increasingly rare. Such moments described by German term ‘Muße’. This qualitative study focused on prototypical objects contemporary Muße architecture. The aim was to investigate empirically how individuals experience such spaces via their ambient atmosphere using semi-structured interviews. By Grounded Theory Methodology, a typology spatial developed. analysis...
Summary Activities can have substantial impacts on temporal experience. We investigated how the impact of being active develops dynamically over course long waiting times. Participants waited in a library building, either sitting passively or walking around actively, for between 60 and 100 minutes. Retrospectively, they reported different aspects their experiences developed throughout wait: duration judgments, passage time general awareness time. Duration was estimated to be shorter passive...

Abstract The temporal predictability of upcoming events plays a crucial role in the adjustment anticipatory cognitive control multitasking. Previous research has demonstrated that task switching performance improved if tasks were validly predictable by pre-target interval. Hence, far, underlying processes time-based expectancy have not been clearly defined. present study investigated whether effect is due to post-perceptual components or rather facilitation perceptual visual processing...
