Frame of Reference and Navigation Through Document Visualizations
The data revealed a strong influence of spatial ability on performance, suggesting that information navigation is more difficult for those with lower spatial ability. Tool and strategy choice likely played a role in the high variability observed in the data, but the flexibility allowed subjects in …

An Environmental Frame of Reference: Golf Course Design in Out-Of-Play Areas
Golf courses are part of the built environment. As such, they relate to the landscape and have impacts on the larger environment. This paper explores those relationships and impacts. Growing environmental awareness coupled with the projected construction of 400 courses per year in the United …

How Does Frame-of-Reference Training Increase Rater Accuracy? A Test of Potential Explanatory Mechanisms.
… job interview literature, the positive effect of Frame-of-Reference (FOR) training on interviewer rating accuracy is well documented. However, how this training method increases rating accuracy is not well understood. The present study focused on rater individual difference characteristics as …

An Analysis of the Immersed Perspective Flight Path Display Benefit: Benefits of Preview, Prediction, and Frame of Reference
… that preview benefits were greater than those of prediction. An interaction of prediction and preview was found, with the benefits of prediction sometimes being contingent on the presence of preview. Explanations of control order account for the finding that prediction and preview benefited …

The effect of schema-based training on dispositional reasoning components : comparing frame-of-reference training and schema-feedback training
… experiments to assess the relative effectiveness of two different training approaches to enhance the subcomponents of dispositional reasoning: trait induction, trait extrapolation and trait contextualisation. Our first experiment used traditional frame-ofreference (FOR) training in an attempt to …

The effects of frame-of-reference and rater error training on the accuracy of performance appraisals: utilizing an aptitude-treatment approach
Prior research has shown that frame-of-reference training increases the accuracy of performance appraisals more than rater error training (e.g. Hedge & Kavanaugh, 1988). Frame-of-reference training facilitates the learning of accurate performance standards (e.g. Athey & McIntyre, 1987), while rater …

Training Interviewers to Spot ‘Faking’ in Employment Interviews: Can Frame of Reference Training Enhance Cue Detection, Cue Utilisation, and Overall Profile Accuracy for Rating Candidate Deceptive Impression Management?
… in undesirable workplace behaviours such as lack of effort and/or theft). Drawing on the Realistic Accuracy Model (RAM), it is argued that interviewers do not detect and/or utilise relevant and available DIM cues because they have not been taught to do so. The present study uses a post-test only …

A computational approach to spatial cognition: Representing spatial relationships in Tongan language and culture
Second, it follows the examination of the linguistic and psychological data obtained by the administration of a variety of tasks in order to investigate if one of the three types of frame of reference (relative, intrinsic, or absolute) has any specific status within Tongan spatial cognition. The …

An Analysis of Union-Management Ideological Frames of Reference in Labor Negotiations
The major purpose of this study was to provide a theoretical and empirical analysis of the nature and effects of union-management (U-M) ideological frames of reference in labor negotiations. A U-M ideological frame of reference is defined as an organization of beliefs, values, and attitudes which …

The Effects of Rater Training on the Relationship between Item Observability and Rater Agreement
This study was an extension of a study conducted by Roch, Paquin, and Littlejohn (2009). They investigated the relationship between rater agreement and the observability of items on a rating form. The current study found similar results in that, as items became less observable, interrater agreement …

The effect of an intensive teacher training on the accuracy of social, emotional, and behavioral screening results
The current study examined that effect of an intensive Frame of Reference teacher training on the accuracy of teacher-rated social, emotional, and behavioral screening results as compared to objective systematic direct observations of one to two students per classroom (n = 74). Teachers (n = 64) …

Phase domain modelling and simulation of large-scale power systems with VSC-based FACTS equipment
Most of the analysis techniques available for planning and operation of multiphase power systems are based upon the assumption that the network operates under perfectly balanced conditions. The advantage of this assumption from the modelling view point is that only one phase of the three phase …

Frames of reference and electronic anchors: An investigation of map displays for helicopter flight
Maps are important for most forms of navigational flight. Yet for helicopter flight they are critical. Different map displays for Nap of the Earth (NOE) and Low Level helicopter flight were configured according to previous research on spatial cognition in large scale environments. Interest centered …
