Abstract:

Every day we complete a number of tasks which require us to accurately time events, from estimating how long it will take us to drive to work in the morning to steeping our afternoon tea for the correct duration. Although timing is very important in our everyday lives, we know relatively little about how we process time information. Many models have been proposed to account for human timing, with the most prominent are the attentional gate model (AGM) and the multiple resources model. The AGM and the multiple resources model make many similar predictions about human timing, and it is often di

Abstract:

Every day, robots are being deployed in more challenging environments, where they are required to perform complex tasks. In order to achieve these tasks, robots rely on intelligent deliberation algorithms. In this thesis, we study two deliberation approaches – task scheduling and task planning. We extend these approaches in order to not only deal with temporal and spatial constraints imposed by the environment, but also exploit them to be more efficient than the state-of-the-art approaches. Our first main contribution is a scheduler that exploits a heuristic based on Allen’s interval algebra t

Abstract:

Whilst considerable research has found that people tend to underestimate their task completion times (e.g., Buehler et al., 1994), factors that might influence the accuracy of temporal predictions have received little empirical treatment. The research presented in this thesis identified two distinct factors that mediated time estimation accuracy and bias. One factor was task duration, whereas the other factor was the person’s prior experience of the task. There was evidence that having prior experience of performing all or a substantial part of the same task enabled participants to more accura

The purpose of this study was to determine teacher and program effectiveness in Consumer and Homemaking Programs in Arizona by using time on task as a measure. In effective program studies, the common critical variable was the individual teacher (Brophy, 1979; McGreal and McGreal, 1986). Teachers who were organized, started class on time and kept the students busy with relevant work maintained high time on task percentages. Using time on task as a measurement of effectiveness, the "Managing Learning Time" instrument (Halasz and Desy, 1984), was used. This study: determined that the majority of

Emerging experiments have explored the impact of dual-task training programs and have improved dual-tasking in older adults. However, it is unknown whether these performance-related improvements are a function of the intervention itself or the repeated exposure to the testing protocol.
