Horizontal Jurisprudence And Sex Discrimination, Jean Wegman Burns Jan 1997

Horizontal Jurisprudence And Sex Discrimination, Jean Wegman Burns

UC Law Journal

In this Article, Professor Bums contrasts the vertical jurisprudential style of Title VII with the horizontal approaches found in other, unrelated areas of the law. She argues that Title VII's vertical, top-down development and testing are largely responsible for the law's failure to produce more concrete results or to settle the often acrimonious arguments on the subject of gender equality in the workplace. She advocates supplementing Title VII's onesize- fits-all set of rules with a bottom-up, horizontal approach to rulemaking and rule testing. This will allow those directly affected by the rules to participate in their development and encourage different …


Learning And Co-Operation In Mobile Multi-Robot Systems, Alexis Kirke Jan 1997

Learning And Co-Operation In Mobile Multi-Robot Systems, Alexis Kirke

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses

This thesis addresses the problem of setting the balance between exploration and exploitation in teams of learning robots who exchange information. Specifically it looks at groups of robots whose tasks include moving between salient points in the environment. To deal with unknown and dynamic environments,such robots need to be able to discover and learn the routes between these points themselves. A natural extension of this scenario is to allow the robots to exchange learned routes so that only one robot needs to learn a route for the whole team to use that route. One contribution of this thesis is to …

The Ability Of Children With Specific Language Impairment To Participate In A Group Decision Task, Lee Robinson, Martin Fujiki, Bonnie Brinton, Valyne J. Watson

Faculty Publications

This study examined the ability of 6 children with specific language impairment (SLI), ages 8:10 to 12:5 (years; months), to participate in a group negotiation task. Each child interacted with two peers to select toys that children their age would enjoy. Performance was compared to both chronological age-similar (CS) peers and language similar (LS) peers performing the same task. Analyses of the resulting interactions indicated that subjects with SLI produced significantly fewer utterances than the other children in the triad. Similar differences were not observed in the CS or LS triads. Additionally, significantly fewer utterances were addressed to the children …

The Influence Of Decision Aids On User Behavior: Implications For Knowledge Acquisition And Inappropriate Reliance, Steven M. Glover, Douglas F. Prawitt, Brian C. Spilker Jan 1997

The Influence Of Decision Aids On User Behavior: Implications For Knowledge Acquisition And Inappropriate Reliance, Steven M. Glover, Douglas F. Prawitt, Brian C. Spilker

Faculty Publications

Structured decision aids are widely used in many organizational settings, and their influence on judgment consistency and accuracy have received considerable attention in the literature. While two benefits commonly associated with decision aid use are improved judgment and enhanced expertise development, relatively little attention has been directed toward the potential influence of decision aids on decision maker behavior. In particular, we argue that the use of structured aids may influence relatively inexperienced decision makers to approach aided tasks mechanistically, without becoming actively involved in the task or judgment. Such passive decision behavior may, in some situations, threaten gains in performance …
