Carvacrol and thymol have been widely studied for their ability to control food spoilage and to extend shelf-life of food products due to their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. However, they… (More)
Nootkatone (NO) is a sesquiterpenoid volatile flavor, used in foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, possessing also insect repellent activity. Its application is limited because of its low aqueous… (More)
We describe an intervention being developed by our research team, Pushing Symbols (PS). This intervention is designed to encourage learners to treat symbol systems as physical objects that move and… (More)
The computation-as-cognitionmetaphor requires that all cognitive objects are constructed from a fixed set of basic primitives; prominent models of cognition and perception try to provide that fixed… (More)
Human concept learning depends upon perception. Our concept of “car” is built out of perceptual features such as “engine,” “tire,” and “bumper.” However, recent research indicates that the dependency… (More)
Despite their importance in public discourse, numbers in the range of 1 million to 1 trillion are notoriously difficult to understand. We examine magnitude estimation by adult Americans when placing… (More)
The contributions to this special issue on cognitive development collectively propose ways in which learning involves developing constraints that shape subsequent learning. A learning system must be… (More)
This paper presents the synthesis, the structural d etermination and the sensing capabilities toward Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC s) of a new class of fluorescent indolizine-cyclodextrin sensors.… (More)
Two experiments examined participants’ use of independent and relational category structures in a spatial memory task. When estimating the locations of dots presented on a rectangular display, many… (More)
