What is cognitive load theory and why should you care?Jo Hanna Pearce
A 5 minute lightning talk giving an overview of cognitive load theory and how we can apply it to managing software development.
First presented at London Web Standards meetup on 25/01/2016
A Quantitative Model for Unifying Human Factors with Cognitive Load TheoryNathan A. Sonnenfeld
Education remains a severely unpolished domain for the application of human factors principles; although human factors methods and theories thrive in their application within both the learning and training domains. Continued efforts are needed to increase educational outcomes from the human-system interaction perspective. This paper shall continue to investigate how to apply constructs and theory from within the related human factors, human-computer interaction, and usability fields to the domain of instructional design. This paper intends to place human factors, human-computer interaction, and usability measurement methods among those used to evaluate cognitive load for the benefit of instructional design, following a new quantitative model for cognitive load. This effort shall assist in increasing collaboration between the fields of human factors and education, and make a significant contribution to cognitive load theory measurement methods.

We have tablets with keyboards; laptops that become tablets; laptops with touch screens; phones with physical keyboards; and even phones that become desktop computers. Not to mention new forms of input like cameras, voice control, and sensors.
We've learned how to respond to screen size. Our next challenge is learning how to adapt to different forms of input.
A review of cognitive modeling and intelligent tutors. Presentation based on three papers, summarized below.
The base paper reports on an experiment of intelligent tutoring in three urban high schools in Pittsburgh. An intelligent tutor has been made a part of 9th grade algebra, accompanying a new algebra curriculum focused on mathematical analysis of real world situations and the use of computations tools. The 470 students in experimental classes outperformed students in comparison classes by 15% on standardized tests and 100% on tests targeting the PUMP objectives. The first auxiliary paper by Anderson describes the cognitive basis for intelligent tutors, from theory to model-tracing methodology, to issues that arise in implementation. The second auxiliary paper by VanLehn describes the lessons learned in developing and testing a cognitive tutor for physics at the U.S. Naval Academy. In particular, this system was designed to run as part of a course with minimal invasion of curricular design. Interestingly, the intelligent tutors for both algebra and physics, based on different models and designed for different educational contexts, had almost identical results.
It was amazing to see the long history of work on intelligent tutors, the scientific progress and implementation in schools across the country. The cognitive basis for such models is fascinating, tracing students' cognitive states in real time and modeling their knowledge as they learn new material. Yet, interaction with the tutor is simple: the tutor silently observes the students strategy, until the student asks for help or makes a mistake, and provides immediate feedback. This helps increase the quality and speed of learning as well as positively reinforce the joy (rather than the struggle) involved, keeping students motivated and moving in the right direction as they develop their problem-solving skills. However, its clear that there is a lot of work still remaining. Despite having a long history, the number of researchers in this area remains relatively small and the challenges ahead of them are large (including technical and political/social challenges).

This is a North Central University essay about synthesizing, critiqueing, and interpreting educational neuroscience literature.
Educational neuroscience is an emerging field of study with foundations in neuroscience, cognitive science, biology, developmental psychology, education, and other related disciplines (Ansari, & Coch, 2006; Meltzoff, Kuhl, Movellan, & Sejnowski, 2009). Although literature for the proposed research is limited, the inquiry will explore the development of adult metacognition from the context of cognitive science and neurosciences. The primary aim is to discover if cognitive processes allow metacognition to increase naturally with age. Findings would inform educational practices as well as bridge the gap between education and neuroscience disciplines. Meltzoff, Kuhl, Movellan, and Sejnowski (2009) noted that the human brain must be adaptable with plasticity to prepare our bodies for quick responses to external and internal issues (Neural Plasticity, p. 7). The essay is written in APA format, includes references, and has been graded by an instructor (A).

Task-unrelated thought
Typically developing children
Mind wandering is associated with worse performance on cogni-
tively demanding tasks, but this concept is largely unexplored in
typically developing children and little is known about the relation
between mind wandering and specific executive functions (EFs).
This study aimed, first, to measure and compare children’s mind
wandering in controlled computerized tasks as well as in an educa-
tional setting and, second, to examine the association between
mind wandering and the three core EFs, namely inhibition, work-
ing memory, and set shifting/switching. A total of 52 children aged
9–11 years performed a classroom listening task and a computer-
ized EF battery consisting of flanker, running span, and attention
switching tasks. Mind wandering was measured using online
probed and/or retrospective self-reports of task-unrelated
thoughts (TUTs) during task performance. Children reported TUTs
on 20–25% of the thought probes, which did not differ between
classroom and EF tasks. Regression models, hierarchically adding
the three core EFs, accounted for a small but significant portion
of variance in TUT frequency when measured in class and retro-
spectively after EF tasks, but not when measured online in EF tasks.
Children with worse inhibition were more prone to mind wander
during classroom and EF tasks. Lower attention switching accuracy

The Stroop Effect And Visual Perception
Overview
Write a 2-part assessment that discusses your experience with the Stroop Effect and concepts related to visual perception. This assessment should be a minimum of 4 pages long.
One of the central hypotheses in psychology is the relationship between stimulus and response. Sight and language are two human abilities relevant to the hypothesis of stimulus and response. Your understanding of these two abilities will help you build up a concept of the neural basis of human behaviors interacting with the world.

Context
Recent technologies employed in the study of the brain regions regulating speech are helping scientists better understand the neural basis of human behaviors interacting with the world. For example, MRI imaging studies are revealing other areas within the brain that may also play a role in language and reading. Another example is that both Broca's and Wernicke's areas are fundamental to speech ability, but the specific mechanism of how each plays into oral language is still unclear. This is still a new area that challenges psychologists, neurologists, and speech therapists.
Humans use different parts of their brain to discriminate objects from people. In fact, we may have specialized neurons for recognizing faces. This relates to the main theme of this assessment: vision and visual perception. Many questions about human vision are unanswered. For example, different areas of the brain respond differently to visual recognition tasks, but how and why these areas cooperate to process visual information remains unclear. Another example: The visual cortex contains several layers, the functional roles of which are the subject of intense investigation. Questions include, .

Thoughts on the use of Analogies in Understanding and Solving Complex Problem...Lucas Rizoli
We need to be able to solve a great number of problems that are very hard to understand. One way in which we can build an understanding of these is through analogy. There are situations in which analogies can be a powerful way of building an accurate conceptual model of a problem or system. They can help provide the ingenuity necessary to solve today's difficult problems. However, analogies can be themselves problematic, even harmful. There may also be things so intangible that they are beyond human understanding.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
