Older adults do not consistently overestimate their action opportunities across different settings by Isabel Bauer, Milena S. Gölz, Lisa Finkel, Maddalena Blasizzo, Sarah E. M. Stoll, Jennifer Randerath

“…We examined older adults’ (n = 40) judgment tendencies in four different tasks by use of a detection theory approach. The tasks’ setting differed in their boundaries’ proximity to the actor with either proximal (e.g., judging one’s hand fit into an opening) or distal boundaries (e.g., judging the reachability of a distant object). …”

Utilisation de plans forestiers XVIIIe- XIXe siècles pour une étude archéologique des paysages passés de la forêt de Chailluz (Besançon) : l’exemple d’un réseau viaire by Catherine Fruchart

“…Research combines archeology, history, geography and forestry and is based on a collection of archives and graphical documents (texts and old plans, current maps and photographs), a synthesis of academic work (historical and scientific publications and reports) and of information relating with the forest in general (technical, historical, floral, landscape data) on field observations (archaeological surveys) and on LiDAR data analysis ("Light detection and ranging"). Using ancient documents depends on their reliability: that of historical content they transmit and, for the graphical archives, that of the accuracy of the location information drawn in the geographical space. …”

Information Compression as a Unifying Principle in Human Learning, Perception, and Cognition by J. Gerard Wolff

“…Evidence includes the following: information compression can mean selective advantage for any creature; the storage and utilisation of the relatively enormous quantities of sensory information would be made easier if the redundancy of incoming information was to be reduced; content words in natural languages, with their meanings, may be seen as ICMUP; other techniques for compression of information—such as class-inclusion hierarchies, schema-plus-correction, run-length coding, and part-whole hierarchies—may be seen in psychological phenomena; ICMUP may be seen in how we merge multiple views to make one, in recognition, in binocular vision, in how we can abstract object concepts via motion, in adaptation of sensory units in the eye of Limulus, the horseshoe crab, and in other examples of adaptation; the discovery of the segmental structure of language (words and phrases), grammatical inference, and the correction of over- and undergeneralisations in learning may be understood in terms of ICMUP; information compression may be seen in the perceptual constancies; there is indirect evidence for ICMUP in human cognition via kinds of redundancy such as the decimal expansion of π which are difficult for people to detect; much of the structure and workings of mathematics—an aid to human thinking—may be understood in terms of ICMUP; and there is additional evidence via the SP Theory of Intelligence and its realisation in the SP Computer Model. …”
