Abstract:
The introduction of qualitative naturalistic research—qualitative research within the paradigm of naturalistic inquiry—into a scholarly tradition that historically has been positivistic has caused concern and controversy among both naturalists and logical positivists in the social sciences. The purpose of this article is to attempt to establish legitimate and fair criteria for the publication of qualitative naturalistic research in occupational therapy. Traditional criteria from the paradigm of logical positivism emphasizing internal validity and external validity are reviewed, and parallel criteria for qualitative naturalistic research, such as credibility and transferability, are examined. Methods such as triangulation, negative case analysis, and testing for rival hypotheses appear to show promise as criteria of fairness and rigor for publication of qualitative naturalistic research in occupational therapy.

Abstract:
AbstractKoriat & Goldsmith's distinction between the correspondence and storehouse metaphors is valuable for both memory theory and methodology. It is questionable, however, whether this distinction underlies the heated debate about so called “everyday memory” research. The distinction between experimental and naturalistic methodologies better characterizes this debate. I compare these distinctions and discuss how the methodological distinction, between experimental and naturalistic designs, could give rise to different theoretical approaches.

Abstract:
Recently completed naturalistic (i.e., unobtrusive) driving studies provide safety researchers with an unprecedented opportunity to study and analyze the occurrence of crashes and a range of near-crash events. Rather than focus on the details of the events immediately before the crash, this study seeks to identify methodological paradigms that can be used to answer questions long of interest to safety researchers. In particular, an attempt is made to shed some light on the four important components of methodological paradigms for naturalistic driving analysis: surrogates, evaluative aspects related to model structures, interpretation of driving context, and assessment of risk and associated sampling issues. The methodological paradigms are founded on a formal definition of the attributes of a valid crash surrogate that can be used in model formulation and testing. After a brief summary of the type of data collected in the studies, an overall framework for the analysis and a range of specific models to test hypotheses of interest are presented. A summary is given of how the systematic analyses with statistical models can extend safety knowledge beyond an assessment of “causes” of individual crashes.

Abstract:
Naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention is an emerging class of interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorder. The present article is a meta-analysis of outcomes of group-design studies ( n = 27) testing interventions using naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention strategies. Small, significant positive effects of naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention were found for expressive language ( g = 0.32), reduction in symptoms of autism spectrum disorder ( g = −0.38), and play skills ( g = 0.23). Larger effects were found for social engagement ( g = 0.65) and overall cognitive development ( g = 0.48). A marginal effect was found for joint attention ( g = 0.14) and receptive language ( g = 0.28). For joint attention, improvement was moderated by hours of professional involvement. Evidence of publication and reporting bias was present for language outcomes. This meta-analysis grows the evidence base for naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions, particularly in the key areas of social engagement and cognition.

Abstract:
While the learning benefits of retrieval activities have been clearly demonstrated in laboratory settings, evidence on their usefulness in naturalistic school settings is still scant. The goal of the present studies was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of retrieval-based learning in children (fourth and sixth grades) when school teachers themselves design and implement retrieval activities relating to genuine curriculum contents. Three studies were conducted in a public elementary school with fourth and sixth graders and their teachers. Two of the studies involved mathematics and one dealt with social sciences. Teachers used learning activities that required students to recall part of previously taught concepts, while different concepts in the same unit were worked through with those learning activities that were normally used by each teacher. Two out of three studies revealed that, relative to business-as-usual learning activities, performing retrieval activities during classes led to better performance in the assessments at the end of the lessons. Overall, our finding provides preliminary evidence that retrieval activities can enhance learning in elementary school children when they are devised by teachers in the exercise of their professional duties. These results have important practical implications and suggest that, if teachers are aware of the value of retrieval activities in fostering meaningful learning, these activities could be successfully embedded in their daily duties even when considering the constraints imposed by school reality.

Abstract:
This paper proposed another Audio notion investigation utilizing programmed discourse acknowledgment is an arising research territory where assessment or opinion showed by a speaker is identified from regular sound. It is moderately under-investigated when contrasted with text-based notion identification. Separating speaker estimation from common sound sources is a difficult issue. Nonexclusive techniques for feeling extraction by and large use records from a discourse acknowledgment framework, and interaction the record utilizing text-based estimation classifiers. In this examination, we show that this standard framework is imperfect for sound assessment extraction. Then again, new engineering utilizing watchword spotting (UWS) is proposed for assumption discovery. In the new engineering, a book-based assessment classifier is used to naturally decide the most helpful and discriminative feeling bearing watchword terms, which are then utilized as a term list for UWS. To get a minimal yet discriminative assumption term list, iterative element enhancement for most maximum entropy estimation model is proposed to diminish model intricacy while keeping up powerful grouping precision. The proposed arrangement is assessed on sound acquired from recordings in youtube.com and UT-Opinion corpus. Our exploratory outcomes show that the proposed UWS based framework fundamentally outflanks the conventional engineering in distinguishing assumption for testing reasonable undertakings.

We present a method to measure the rate of information transfer for any continuous signals of finite duration without assumptions. After testing the method with simulated responses, we measure the encoding performance of Calliphora photoreceptors. We find that especially for naturalistic stimulation the responses are nonlinear and noise is nonadditive, and show that adaptation mechanisms affect signal and noise differentially depending on the time scale, structure, and speed of the stimulus. Different signaling strategies for short- and long-term and dim and bright light are found for this graded system when stimulated with naturalistic light changes.

Bridle, Russell. "Does attentional bias to threat causally contribute to the expression of naturalistic anxiety?" University of Western Australia. School of Psychology, 2009. http://theses.library.uwa.edu.au/adt-WU2009.0135.

Full text
Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Over the past several decades substantial research has been conducted investigating the association between attentional bias to emotionally threatening material and anxiety. Tasks such as the emotional Stroop, the dichotic listening task and the visual probe task have been used to document this association, with the visual probe task providing the most direct means of assessing this bias. That this association exists stands beyond contention, however relatively little research has been conducted directly examining the causal nature of this relationship. By using predictive and recovery approaches it is possible to determine how attentional bias and anxiety co vary but not the exact causal nature of this relationship. However, when the visual probe methodology is used attentional bias to threat can be directly manipulated and as such it is possible to determine if attentional bias to threat causally underpins the development and maintenance of anxiety. The purpose of the current research was to deliver an extended attentional training task to anxious individuals by capitalising upon the ability to directly manipulate attentional bias using the visual probe task methodology and assessing the possible therapeutic benefits of such an approach. ...Nevertheless these results provided support for the validity of the causal hypothesis and the technological difficulties associated with administering the task online were ameliorated. Due to the fact that characteristics of both situational and dispositional anxiety are present in a clinical population a revised version of the attentional training task was administered to two groups of non-clinically anxious individuals to determine the impact that avoid threat attentional training has on each of these types of anxiety. High trait anxious students and pregnant women were chosen for this purpose but due to substantial attrition these two experiments failed to provide sufficient evidence to evaluate the causal hypothesis. Two main reasons for this attrition were identified, the motivation of participants and the procedures that were in place to monitor their progress. To ensure that attrition would not compromise future experiments a series of modifications were made and the attentional training program was then readministered to a sample of individuals characterised by dispositional or situational anxiety. A group of self labelled worriers and a sample of Immigrating Singaporean students respectively, were chosen for this purpose. There was no significant influence of avoid threat training on attentional bias for the self labelled worriers, nor any evidence of an attenuation of emotional vulnerability. For the Immigrating Singaporean students, however; there was evidence of a significant reversal of attentional bias to threat post attentional training compared to the control group and a corresponding attenuation of emotional vulnerability and a trend towards a significant attenuation of emotional reactivity. The implications for the causal hypothesis and the therapeutic applicability are discussed as well as several avenues for future research.

Abstract:
In an expanding digital landscape, a consumer’s attention level is a critical predictor of future behaviour. Prior technological constraints necessitated the use of proxy attention metrics insensitive to passive engagement and simultaneously distortive of visual engagement. Since proxy metrics are poor measures of engagement, advertising trading metrics don’t reflect true audience exposure and engagement - concerning for advertisers. Advances in non-invasive technology enable research to differentiate levels of visual attention and their relation to brand outcome variables. The purpose of this research is to generate empirical understanding of how consumer behaviour is influenced by levels of natural visual attention. While scholars have investigated the relationship between selective or ‘high’ attention and consumer behaviour, little is known about the role of peripheral or ‘low’ attention on behaviour. This is critical to advertising valuation, as more focused attention to advertising has been shown to increase the likelihood of brand memory creation while more diffuse attention can positively affect brand selection and preference. This thesis comprises three papers. The first proposes a conceptual framework of visual attention, relating the control and degree of different types of attention to advertising in relation to discreet brand outcomes. It extends attention theory to wider discussions surrounding advertising measurement and monetisation practices. The second paper empirically tests the role of repetition in digital advertising by investigating differences between high and low attention with single and repeated exposures in the context of brand choice and recall (prompted and unprompted). This research also explores the interacting effects of demographic variables, including gender, age, brand use, on the relationship between visual attention (high and low) and brand choice and recall. The findings reveal significant differences between the two forms of attention for brand outcomes. High attention predicts more brand choice and recall at first exposure than at second exposure, while low attention predicts more brand choice and recall at second exposure. This study contributes to attention, advertising and marketing literatures by relating two forms of natural audience attention to discreet brand outcomes. The third paper empirically examines the role of emotion in attention-based advertising appraisal by investigating the moderating effect of two dimensions of emotion – arousal and valence – on the relationship between visual attention (high and low) and brand outcomes. Arousal and valence can affect how consumers perceive advertising and their attention focus (Vanlessen, Rossi, de Raedt, & Pourtois, 2013). Beyond main emotional effects on brand outcomes, this research reveals significant interaction between valence and low attention on brand choice and unprompted recall. This paper contributes to the marketing literature by relating dimensions of emotion to a high/low model of visual attention. This study generates novel insight contributing to research and practice in attention theory, advertising monetisation practices, and advertising measurement. Advertisers, media owners, and digital platform holders can benefit because the research establishes that the value of attention is nuanced but demonstrable. To generate immediate impact from high attention viewership, advertisers may select high-cost advertising; conversely value remains attainable from lower-cost, low attention advertising more suited to repeated exposures.

Abstract:
AbstractWhen we perform a goal-directed movement, tactile sensitivity on the moving limb is reduced compared to during rest. This well established finding of movement-related tactile suppression is often investigated with psychophysical paradigms, using custom haptic actuators and highly constrained movement tasks. However, studying more naturalistic movement scenarios is becoming more accessible due to increased availability of affordable, off-the-shelf virtual reality (VR) hardware. Here, we present a first evaluation of consumer VR controllers (HTC Vive and Valve Index) for psychophysical testing using the built-in vibrotactile actuators. We show that participants’ tactile perceptual thresholds can generally be estimated through manipulation of controller vibration amplitude and frequency. When participants performed a goal-directed movement using the controller, vibrotactile perceptual thresholds increased compared to rest, in agreement with previous work and confirming the suitability of unmodified VR controllers for tactile suppression research. Our findings will facilitate investigations of tactile perception in dynamic virtual scenarios.

Abstract:
Chapter 5 lays out the authors’ operational plan for testing the conceptual model and answering the three research questions posed in Chapter 1. Following a detailed treatment of cultural transmission as an intergenerational process that can help establish cultural exogeneity, they look closely at its influence on the transition to adulthood in a cross-national context. It is then demonstrated why generational transmission requires a naturalistic sampling approach to insure that associations among family members are captured. This chapter goes on to describe the three-stage sampling process and how it aids efforts to study cultural diversity and economic performance. The family interview methodology and interview schedule are introduced, as is a statistical profile of the selected families from each focal country. How well the naturalistic sampling comports with surveys of cultural values that rely on independent, individual observations is considered.

Abstract:
Ideally, researchers would choose methods that best suit their interests, preferences, and abilities but would also value convergence with other methods. Dialogue researchers often share important assumptions about the nature of face-to-face dialogue and even some research essentials (e.g., close observation of free dialogues, no confederates). Disagreements about other methodological details often arise from different but complementary goals (e.g., internal versus external validity). Other differences are often clichés that do not survive a closer examination; for example, a “gold standard,” “the uncertainty principle,” “naturalistic” versus “artificial” data, a “real world,” the “purity” of the lab, and “quantitative versus qualitative” analysis. This chapter questions these apparent dichotomies and describes our group’s research method, microanalysis of face-to-face dialogue (MFD), which aims to be more flexible. One fundamental of this approach is starting inductively, that is, observing dialogues in order to form hypotheses for later testing.

Abstract:
Intrigued by the descriptions of hitherto unknown species, Victorian naturalists embarked on Pacific journeys to study new flora and fauna. The third chapter follows a young Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley as they develop theories that would challenge the assumed boundaries between “civilized” and “savage” man. Their often overlooked travel narratives, The Voyage of the Beagleand The Voyage of the Rattlesnake respectively, displayed not only emerging theories of evolution and natural selection, but also early biological and anthropological observations that questioned whether Pacific islanders were truly so different from British ones. These radical new ideas, spurred on by later works such as Origin of the Species and The Descent of Man, influenced novelists to use the Pacific islands as a testing ground for new theories of regressive evolution. Capitalizing on the emerging genre of “science fiction,” H.G. Wells imagined the Pacific in The Island of Doctor Moreau not as an idyllic paradise but as a horrific nightmare that reduced all islanders, British and native, to their most bestial forms displaying distinctly Pacific resonances and the changing British perspectives on the islands.

Abstract:
The transnational transfers of ideas, technologies, materials, and people that have shaped the history of science in Latin America are marked, as in any region, by asymmetries of power. These are often replicated or even magnified in the narratives we have forged about that history. The journeys to Latin America of some of Europe’s most famous naturalists (Humboldt and Darwin, for example) are often depicted as the heroic overcoming by European science of savage local terrains and ways of life. Those epic explorers are recast, in other narratives, as the forerunners of (neo)colonial exploitation in the history of the ransacking of Latin America’s mineral riches to pay for European imperial ventures, repeated in the often-illegal plundering of the region’s dinosaur fossils to swell museum collections in Europe and North America. In such accounts, Latin America becomes the arena for European adventures, the testing ground for new scientific theories, or the passive victim of colonial profiteering, but rarely a place of innovation. It is certainly the case that over the centuries the flow of natural resources, data, and expertise from Latin America to more developed regions has generally been to the benefit of those regions and has not reduced an imbalance of power that dates back to the colonial period.

Full text
Abstract:
Highway-rail grade crossing (crossing) collisions and fatalities have been in decline, but a recent ‘plateau’ has caused the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to concentrate on decreasing further casualties. The Michigan Tech Rail Transportation Program has been selected to perform a large-scale study that will utilize the SHRP2 Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) data to analyze how various crossing warning devices affect driver behavior and whether there are clear differences between the effectiveness of the warning devices. The main results of this study are the development of a coding scheme for a visual narrative, used to validate machine vision head tracking data, and an improved baseline for the head tracking data using bivariate probability density. Head tracking data from the NDS and its correlation with coded narratives are vital to analyze driver behavior as they traverse crossings. This paper also presents preliminary results for the comparative analysis of the head tracking data from an initial test sample. Future work will extend the analysis to a larger data set, and ensure that use of the head tracking data is a viable tool for the ongoing behavior analysis work. Based on preliminary results from testing of the first data set, it is expected there will be significant positive correlation in future samples and the machine vision head tracking will prove consistent enough for use in the large scale behavioral study.

Abstract:
It is important to rigorously and comprehensively evaluate the safety of Automated Vehicles (AVs) before their production and deployment. A popular AV evaluation approach is Naturalistic-Field Operational Test (N-FOT) which tests prototype vehicles directly on public roads. Due to the low exposure to safety-critical scenarios, N-FOTs is time-consuming and expensive to conduct. Computer simulations can be used as an alternative to N-FOTs, especially in terms of generating motions of the surrounding traffic. In this paper, we propose an accelerated evaluation approach for AVs. Human-controlled vehicles (HVs) were modeled as disturbance to AVs based on data extracted from the Safety Pilot Model Deployment Program. The cut-in scenarios are generated based on skewed statistics of collected human driver behavior, which amplifies riskier testing scenarios while reserves its statistical information so that the safety benefits of AV in non-accelerated cases can be accurately estimated. An AV model based on a production vehicle was tested. Results show that the proposed method can accelerate the evaluation process by at least 100 times.
