(Foire aux idees) Qualité et crédibilité. À la suite de la présentation par Martin de son sujet de thèse, je jetais un coup d’oeil sur le billet de Sébastien Paquet sur « La cognitique personnelle en ligne et son utilisation en recherche » (en fait, l’original anglais), où il discute de la qualité d’une page Web comme fonction du nombre de liens y pointant) : Au fil de leurs lectures, les carnetiers sélectionnent avec soin l’objet de leurs hyperliens et choisissent inévitablement les plus intéressants. Les textes qui ont été le plus souvent référencés obtiennent bien sûr plus de visibilité. (…) Il est à noter que cette dynamique reflète celle de la littérature universitaire : les articles qui sont le plus souvent cités ont une plus grande visibilité et sont davantage lus. Ceci m’a amené à réfléchir sur cette notion qui est présentée ici de qualité (en fait, on pourrait l’appeler « qualité académique »). À mes yeux, il s’agit là plus d’une question de crédibilité que de qualité per se.
Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena. Perception, action, and nonconceptual content. 1. Perspectival self-consciousness and the mastery of sensorimotor contingencies. To be a perceiver, one must be capable of keeping track of the ways in which one’s perceptual experience depends on what one does, and also, more generally, on one’s relation to the world around one.
For this reason, perception depends on what Hurley [1998] calls perspectival self-consciousness. Examples are ready to hand. An object looms larger in the visual field as we approach it, and its profile deforms as we move about it. As perceivers we are masters of the patterns of sensorimotor contingency that shape our perceptual interaction with the world. These examples illustrate the ways in which the ability to see (or to perceive) depends on the ability to keep track of the interdependence of perception and action. 2.
Nonhuman animals and human infants enjoy perceptual experience. 3. Of course, it is not the case that things always look the way they are. 4. 5. Notes.

The Pueblo Chieftain Online - Pueblo, Colorado U.S.A. Ytsejamer: Scaffolding. Brain of a Blogger - 5 good reasons to blog. (PRWEB) March 2, 2005 During the past five years, blogging has exploded from virtual non-existence into an important and influential sociocultural force. Recent survey data indicate that there are now nearly 10 million bloggers, 90% of whom are between the ages of 13 and 29 years old. This incredible upsurge in activity has caused us to wonder: What effect is all this blogging having on the brains of bloggers?
Why ask this question? 1. First, there are blogs and there are...well, blogs. Because blogs are text-based, bloggers must write and visitors must read (rather than passively view) the postings. 2. To remain popular with readers, blogs must be updated frequently. 3. Recent international surveys have shown that students in the United States have fallen far behind most of their first world peers in problem solving and critical thinking. 4. 5. In conclusion, it looks as if blogging will be very good for our brains. Fernette Eide M.D. and Brock Eide M.D.
