Here, we investigated the hypothesis that pointing originates in touch. We found, first, that when pointing at a target, children and adults oriented their fingers not as though trying to create an "arrow" that picks out the target but instead as though they were aiming to touch it; second, that when pointing at a target at an angle, participants rotated their wrists to match that angle as they would if they were trying to touch the target; and last, that young children interpret pointing gestures as if they were attempts to touch things, not as arrows. These results provide the first substantial evidence that pointing originates in touch.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SchmidtWenzelRubel, author = {Schmidt-Wenzel, Alexandra and Rubel, Katrin}, title = {Inquiry-Based Learning in Social Work}, series = {Inquiry-Based Learning : Undergraduate Research}, booktitle = {Inquiry-Based Learning : Undergraduate Research}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-14223-0}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-14223-0_13}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:525-26335}, publisher = {Fachhochschule Potsdam}, pages = {139 -- 147}, abstract = {Research-led teaching is designed to give students the opportunity to engage with their learning process and develop the skills needed to build their professional identity through active participation in the scientific cognitive process.

A code for childhood sexuality also developed in the West, with the focus on the innocence and malleability of young people. The projection onto children by adults, in terms of what they should be, can thus eventually be damaging. Children are presented as incapable of being responsible subjects with their own agency in the context of sexuality. Children's agency in the context of their sexuality is highly restricted through laws dictating minimum ages of sexual activity and consent, as well as social expectations of a child as a non-sexual and innocent being.}, subject = {Kind}, language = {en} } @article{KajićSchroederStewartetal., author = {Kajić, Ivana and Schr{\"o}der, Tobias and Stewart, Terrence C. and Thagard, Paul}, title = {The semantic pointer theory of emotion}, series = {Cognitive Systems Research}, volume = {58}, journal = {Cognitive Systems Research}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1389-0417}, doi = {10.1016/j.cogsys.2019.04.007}, pages = {35 -- 53}, abstract = {Emotion theory needs to explain the relationship of language and emotions, and the embodiment of emotions, by specifying the computational mechanisms underlying emotion generation in the brain.

Previous studies have shown that symbolic meanings associated with new low-emission vehicles and travel services influence people's willingness to adopt these innovations. However, little is known about the symbolic meanings of many upcoming transport innovations, which often influence habitual decision-making and their stratification within the population. This study thus examines cultural affective meanings of a broad range of conventional and novel transport mode options in a nationally representative German sample. Cluster analysis of affective meanings of travel modes identified six unique traveller segments. These consumer groups differ significantly in their intention to adopt low-emission travel modes and are characterized by specific psychographic, socio-demographic and behavioural profiles. The results demonstrate that affective meanings of choice options are predictive regarding the attitudes and (intended) behaviour of traveller segments. Moreover, the invariant positive meanings of conventional cars across segments indicate the strong cultural embeddedness of this mode in society.

It holds that we typically don't explain an agent's action by appealing to her mental states but by referring to the objective, publically accessible facts of the world that count in favor of performing the action so as to achieve a certain goal. Advocates of the teleological account claim that this strategy is our main way of understanding people's actions. I argue that common motivations mentioned to support the teleological account are insufficient to sustain its generalization from children to adults. Moreover, social psychological studies, combined with theoretical considerations, suggest that we do not explain actions mainly by invoking publically accessible, reason-giving facts alone but by ascribing mental states to the agent.}, subject = {Teleologie}, language = {en} } @article{SchauenburgConradvonScheveetal., author = {Schauenburg, Gesche and Conrad, Markus and von Scheve, Christian and Barber, Horacio A. and Ambrasat, Jens and Aryani, Arash and Schr{\"o}der, Tobias}, title = {Making sense of social interaction : emotional coherence drives semantic integration as assessed by event-related potentials}, series = {Neuropsychologia}, volume = {125}, journal = {Neuropsychologia}, publisher = {Amsterdam}, address = {Elsevier}, issn = {1873-3514}, doi = {10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2019.01.002}, pages = {1 -- 13}, abstract = {We compared event-related potentials during sentence reading, using impression formation equations of a model of affective coherence, to investigate the role of affective content processing during meaning making. The model of Affect Control Theory (ACT; Heise, 1979, 2007) predicts and quantifies the degree to which social interactions deflect from prevailing social norms and values - based on the affective meanings of involved concepts. We tested whether this model can predict the amplitude of brain waves traditionally associated with semantic processing. To this end, we visually presented sentences describing basic subject-verb-object social interactions and measured event-related potentials for final words of sentences from three different conditions of affective deflection (low, medium, high) as computed by a variant of the ACT model (Schr{\"o}der, 2011). Sentence stimuli were closely controlled across conditions for alternate semantic dimensions such as contextual constraints, cloze probabilities, co-occurrences of subject-object and verb-object relations. Personality characteristics (schizotypy, Big Five) were assessed to account for individual differences, assumed to influence emotion-language interactions in information processing. Affective deflection provoked increased negativity of ERP waves during the P2/N2 and N400 components. Our data suggest that affective incoherence is perceived as conflicting information interfering with early semantic processing and that increased respective processing demands - in particular in the case of medium violations of social norms - linger on until the N400 time window classically associated with the integration of concepts into embedding context. We conclude from these results that affective meanings influence basic stages of meaning making.}, subject = {Interaktion}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ScheidtPulver, author = {Scheidt, Alexander and Pulver, Tim}, title = {Any-Cubes}, series = {MuC'19: Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2019}, booktitle = {MuC'19: Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2019}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-4503-7198-8}, doi = {10.1145/3340764.3345375}, pages = {893 -- 895}, abstract = {Here we present Any-Cubes, a prototype toy with which children can intuitively and playfully explore and understand machine learning as well as Internet of Things technology.

Cube 1 ("sensor cube") is inspired by Google's teachable machine [14,15]. The sensor cube can be trained on any object or scenery. The machine learning functionality is directly implemented on the microcontroller (Raspberry Pi) by a Google Edge TPU Stick. Via MQTT protocol, the microcontroller sends its current status to Cube 2, the actuator cube. The actuator cube provides three switches (relays controlled by an Arduino board) to which peripheral devices can be connected. This allows simple if-then functions to be executed in real time, regardless of location.
