Learning digits via joint audio-visual representations
… intermediary text transcriptions in correlating visual and audio inputs from the environment; rather, they directly make connections between what they see and what they hear, sometimes even across languages! In this thesis, we present weakly-supervised models for learning representations of …

Statistically learned visual representations support visual working memory
Visual statistical learning (VSL) refers to the human ability to unintentionally extract statistical information from our environment. VSL has been proposed to have wide-reaching influence on a number of aspects of cognition. However, direct evidence that statistically learned information is used …

The Role of Early Recurrence in Improving Visual Representations
… the following four observations. 1) The primate visual system includes two main visual pathways: the dorsal pathway and the ventral pathway; 2) The two pathways respond to different visual features; 3) The neurons of the dorsal pathway conduct visual information faster than that of the neurons of …

Visual programming in three dimensions : visual representations of computational mental models
… of complex interactions in code. The current visual programming environments that see the most use inside, and outside of Architecture present computation in specific terms. I believe these limits hinder the computational designer or novice programmer from learning other mental models of …

Using visual representations to improve instructional materials for distance education computing students
… is complex to teach, such as computer science. Visual representations have a history of use in computing as a means to alleviate the difficulties of learning abstract concepts. However, it is not clear whether improvements observed are as a result of improvements in the visual representations …

The effects of visual representations on teacher training of phonological awareness principles
… of this study was to determine the effects of visual representations of letter/sound production (i.e., Phonic Faces, Norris, 2001) on improving teacher knowledge of phonological awareness principles, and to determine if there is a concomitant improvement in phonological awareness and reading …

Transforming structured descriptions to visual representations. An automated visualization of historical bookbinding structures
… into standardized and scholarly-sound visual representations. In the last few decades, the recording and management of documentation data about material objects, including bookbindings, has switched from paper-based archives to databases, but sketches and diagrams are a form of …

Disseminating research findings about substance use: effects of inoculation messages, message sources, and visual representations
… how inoculation messages, message sources, and visual representations of risk information influence newsreaders' attentional, cognitive, and behavioral responses on health news articles. The findings suggested that inoculation messages may not be effective in promoting changes in college …

How visual representations affect undergraduate students’ use and understanding of engineering concepts during problem solving
… communicate their knowledge with a variety of visual representations. Research into how students use visual representations has so far focused on questions such as “will a picture or a graph improve students’ problem-solving ability” rather than “what about the graphical representation causes …

Image -Percept Integration as a Means to Construct Visual Representations Over Time in Static and Dynamic Displays
The visual world contains more information than can be understood in a single glance. As a result, observers build representations of scenes over time, a constraint on scene processing that requires the interaction of memory and perception. Using a temporal integration paradigm, subjects had to …
