ACUTE STRESS, BUT NOT CORTICOSTERONE, FACILITATES ACQUISITION OF PAIRED ASSOCIATES LEARNING ASSESSED IN RATS USING TOUCHSCREEN-EQUIPPED OPERANT CONDITIONING CHAMBERS
Acute stress is well known to influence learning and memory tasks in humans and rodents, enhancing performance in some instances while impairing it in others. Across species, subjects preferentially employ striatal mediated stimulus-response strategies in spatial memory tasks following stress, …

Designing digital and physical interactions for the Digital Public Space
… digital systems with a clear preference towards touchscreen based interactions. This move can be attributed in part to the Apple’s iPhone, first introduced in 2007, and whilst not the first touchscreen product, it was the first to lead to widespread adoption and use. This thesis seeks to develop …

Investigation of user interface design guidelines to make the computer accessible to mentally retarded adults
… used a computer, to two input devices (mouse and touchscreen) and a graphical user interface. Phase II built on Phase I observations to design a within-subject usability test to gather heuristic data on input devices and to develop user interface guidelines for the target population. In Phase III, …
