A Research-Practice Partnership to Introduce Computer Science in Secondary School: Lessons from a Pilot Program

Francesco Mondada, Helena Kovacs, Jean-Philippe Pellet, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy

Context: Introducing Computer Science (CS) into formal education can be challenging, notably when considering the numerous stakeholders involved which include the students, teachers, schools, and policy makers. We believe these perspectives should be con ...

A taxonomy of surprise definitions

Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Alireza Modirshanechi

Surprising events trigger measurable brain activity and influence human behavior by affecting learning, memory, and decision-making. Currently there is, however, no consensus on the definition of surprise. Here we identify 18 mathematical definitions of su ...

Which professional skills do students learn in engineering team-based projects?

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Roland John Tormey, Cécile Hardebolle, Cyril Picard

Engineering accreditation bodies express a strong consensus that in addition to technical and scientific skills, engineering education also needs to promote the development of professional skills. In general, team-based projects are considered to be valuab ...

Hand Control With Invasive Feedback Is Not Impaired by Increased Cognitive Load

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Recent experiments have shown that neural stimulation can successfully restore sensory feedback in upper-limb amputees improving their ability to control the prosthesis. However, the potential advantages of invasive sensory feedback with respect to non-inv ...

Sensory feedback restoration in leg amputees improves walking speed, metabolic cost and phantom pain

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Giacomo Valle, Federica Barberi, Dario Bortolotti

Conventional leg prostheses do not convey sensory information about motion or interaction with the ground to aboveknee amputees, thereby reducing confidence and walking speed in the users that is associated with high mental and physical fatigue(1-4). The l ...

Behavioural, modeling, and electrophysiological evidence for supramodality in human metacognition

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre

Human metacognition, or the capacity to introspect on one's own mental states, has been mostly characterized through confidence reports in visual tasks. A pressing question is to what extent results from visual studies generalize to other domains. Answerin ...

Building Successful Long Child-Robot Interactions in a Learning Context

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Alexis David Jacq, Fernando Garcia, Ana Paiva

The CoWriter activity involves a child in a rich and complex interaction where he has to teach handwriting to a robot. The robot must convince the child it needs his help and it actually learns from his lessons. To keep the child engaged, the robot must le ...

Stress pulls us apart: Anxiety leads to differences in competitive confidence under stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Samuel Bendahan, Fiona Hollis, John Christian Thoresen, Lorenz Goette

Social competition is a fundamental mechanism of evolution and plays a central role in structuring individual interactions and communities. Little is known about the factors that affect individuals’ competitive success, particularly in humans. Key factors ...
