Symposium

The idea was inspired by research linking the brain processes involved in long-term memory storage to qualities of dreaming, as well as the potential for learning in lucid dreams.

In order to test this, the dreaming ability of 300 Cal Poly students will be analyzed via dream questionnaires with the purpose of seeing if any …

New Look At An Old Space: Participatory Design Research At A Liberal Arts College Library, Olivia Castello, Melissa K. Cresswell

Library Staff Research and Scholarship

Anticipating major physical renovations, Bryn Mawr College recently analyzed students’ use of space in Canaday Library. We collected both qualitative and quantitative data using an innovative mixed methods, participatory research design that included student photo diaries, interactive design workshops, a patron brainstorming board, and space-usage headcounts. Our poster will illustrate the results of our qualitative and quantitative data analyses, which showed surprising patterns in students’ usage and expressed desires for the main library space. Our project will interest colleagues from peer institutions and anyone curious about what liberal arts college students want in a 21st century academic library.

Interaction Among Gustation, Olfaction, And Vision In Flavor Identification, Michael J. Lauth Jun 2014

Interaction Among Gustation, Olfaction, And Vision In Flavor Identification, Michael J. Lauth

Symposium

Even though the senses of taste, smell, and sight are distinct, there is a significant overlap among them in our perceptions of objects that helps us understand and differentiate the world. Everyone has experienced, when his or her nose gets congested, that his or her sense of taste changes as well. Many individuals do not equally understand the top-down processing with taste when someone sees objects they are about to eat. In the replicated study by our principle investigator, a random convenience sample of young adults (n=162) were recruited and tested to determine if they could taste four Jelly Belly …

A Cross-Species Study Of Gesture And Its Role In Symbolic Development: Implications For The Gestural Theory Of Language Evolution, K. Gillespie-Lynch, P. M. Greenfield, Y. Feng, S. Savage-Rumbaugh, H. Lyn Jun 2014

A Cross-Species Study Of Gesture And Its Role In Symbolic Development: Implications For The Gestural Theory Of Language Evolution, K. Gillespie-Lynch, P. M. Greenfield, Y. Feng, S. Savage-Rumbaugh, H. Lyn

Faculty Publications

Using a naturalistic video database, we examined whether gestures scaffold the symbolic development of a language-enculturated chimpanzee, a language-enculturated bonobo, and a human child during the second year of life. These three species constitute a complete clade: species possessing a common immediate ancestor. A basic finding was the functional and formal similarity of many gestures between chimpanzee, bonobo, and human child. The child's symbols were spoken words; the apes' symbols were lexigrams - non-iconic visual signifiers. A developmental pattern in which gestural representation of a referent preceded symbolic representation of the same referent appeared in all three species (but was …

Accessible Interlibrary Loan For Users With Disabilities: An Open Discussion, Michael Priehs Jun 2014

Accessible Interlibrary Loan For Users With Disabilities: An Open Discussion, Michael Priehs

Library Scholarly Publications

At its core, interlibrary loan is about access to information. But are we succeeding for our patrons with disabilities? Are our systems, practices, and deliverables meeting the needs of all of our users? While much has been written and explored concerning obtaining special format materials, less has been written concerning the usability of our resource sharing systems for disabled persons. Assistive, or mainstream, technologies and Universal Design are popular discussions among disability and web design specialists. Likewise, in a discipline where accessibility and technology often guide our progress, resource sharing librarians should be aware of these issues in regards to …
