Recent advances in wireless technologies have led to the development of intelligent, in-vehicle safety applications designed
to share information about the actions of nearby vehicles, potential road hazards, and ultimately predict dangerous scenarios
or imminent collisions. These vehicle safety communication (VSC) technologies rely on the creation of autonomous, self-organizing,
wireless communication networks connecting vehicles with roadside infrastructure and with each other. As the technical standards
and communication protocols for VSC technologies are still being developed, certain ethical implications of these new information
technologies emerge: Coupled with the predicted safety benefits of VSC applications is a potential rise in the ability to
surveil a driver engaging in her everyday activities on the public roads. This paper will explore how the introduction of
VSC technologies might disrupt the “contextual integrity” of personal information flows in the context of highway travel and
threaten one’s “privacy in public.” Since VSC technologies and their related protocols and standards are still in the developmental
stage, the paper will conclude by revealing how close attention to the ethical implications of the remaining design decisions
can inform and guide designers of VSC technologies to create innovate safety applications that increase public safety, but
without compromising the value of one’s privacy in public.

Two experiments were conducted to examine the effects of redundant and relevant visual cues on spatial pattern learning. Rats searched for hidden food items on the tops of poles that formed a square (Experiment 1) or a checkerboard (Experiment 2) pattern. The experimental groups were trained with visual cues that specified the locations of the baited poles. All groups were tested without visual cues so that any overshadowing or facilitation of spatial pattern learning by visual cues could be detected. Spatial choices were controlled by the spatial pattern and by the visual cues in both experiments. However, there was no evidence of overshadowing or facilitation of spatial pattern learning by visual cues in either experiment. The results are consistent with the idea that the representation of the spatial pattern that guides choices is not controlled by the same learning processes as those that produce associations between visual cues and food locations. 相似文献

The dominant theoretical approach to causal learning postulates the acquisition of associative weights between cues and outcomes.
This reduction of causal induction to associative learning implies that learners are insensitive to important characteristics
of causality, such as the inherent directionality between causes and effects. An ongoing debate centers on the question of
whether causal learning is sensitive to causal directionality (as is postulated by causal-model theory) or whether it neglects
this important feature of the physical world (as implied by associationist theories). Three experiments using different cue
competition paradigms are reported that demonstrate the competence of human learners to differentiate between predictive and
diagnostic learning. However, the experiments also show that this competence displays itself best in learning situations with
few processing demands and with convincingly conveyed causal structures. The study provides evidence for the necessity to
distinguish between competence and performance in causal learning. 相似文献

In recent years, semiotics has become an innovative theoretical framework in mathematics education. The purpose of this article
is to show that semiotics can be used to explain learning as a process of experimenting with and communicating about one's
own representations (in particular ‘diagrams') of mathematical problems. As a paradigmatic example, we apply a Peircean semiotic
framework to answer the question of how students develop a notion of ‘distribution' in a statistics course by ‘diagrammatic
reasoning' and by forming ‘hypostatic abstractions', that is by forming new mathematical objects which can be used as means
for communication and further reasoning. Peirce's semiotic terminology is used as an alternative to concepts such as modeling,
symbolizing, and reification. We will show that it is a precise instrument of analysis with regard to the complexity of learning
and communicating in mathematics classrooms. 相似文献

Rats obtained food from the tops of vertical poles in a 5 × 5 matrix of locations. On each trial, the baited locations formed
one of the two possible exemplars of a checkerboard spatial pattern. During training, locations that had been visited earlier
in the trial were indicated by a visual cue. Following training, performance with and without the visual cues was compared.
Spatial choices were controlled by the checkerboard spatial pattern. The visual cues enhanced the ability of rats to avoid
revisits of locations. However, the visual cues did not enhance control by the spatial pattern, as would be expected if the
same spatial memories were involved in avoidance of revisits and coding the location of baited locations. 相似文献
