Stigma and Halo Following Iconic Events: Why Nonconformity Pays After Salient Successes and Failures*
, 2008
"... Salient success and failures among organizations, such as spectacular venture capital investments, “initial public offerings, ” or substantial bankruptcies, affect consensus beliefs about the viability of particular markets and strategies. We argue that the effects of such iconic events are likely t ..."

The Symbol Grounding Problem
, 1990
"... There has been much discussion recently about the scope and limits of purely symbolic models of the mind and about the proper role of connectionism in cognitive modeling. This paper describes the "symbol grounding problem": How can the semantic interpretation of a formal symbol system be m ..."

Chinese from a Chinese/Chinese dictionary alone. A candidate solution is sketched: Symbolic representations must be grounded bottom-up in nonsymbolic representations of two kinds: (1) "iconic representations" , which are analogs of the proximal sensory projections of distal objects and events
An Introduction to Software Agents
, 1997
"... ion and delegation: Agents can be made extensible and composable in ways that common iconic interface objects cannot. Because we can "communicate" with them, they can share our goals, rather than simply process our commands. They can show us how to do things and tell us what went wrong (Mi ..."

The SonicFinder: An interface that uses auditory icons
- Human Computer Interaction
, 1989
"... The appropriate use of non-speech sounds has the potential to add a great deal to the functionality of computer interfaces. Sound is a largely unexploited medium of output, even though it plays an integral role in our everyday encounters with the world, one that is complementary to vision. I argue t ..."

that sound should be used in computers as it is in the world, where it conveys information about the nature of sound-producing events. Such a strategy leads to auditory icons, which are everyday sounds meant to convey information about computer events by analogy with everyday events. Auditory icons
Perceptual design of haptic icons
- In Proceedings of Eurohaptics
, 2003
"... Abstract: The bulk of applications for haptic feedback employ direct rendering approaches wherein a user touches a virtual model of some “real ” thing, often displayed graphically as well. We propose a new class of applications based on abstract messages, ranging from “haptic icons ” – brief signal ..."

LifeLines: Visualizing Personal Histories
, 1996
"... LifeLines provide a general visualization environment for personal histories that can be applied to medical and court records, professional histories and other types of biographical data. A one screen overview shows multiple facets of the records. Aspects, for example medical conditions or legal cas ..."

The NicIcon Database of Handwritten Icons for Crisis Management
"... The goal of this paper is to announce the NicIcon collection of handwritten sketches containing iconic gestures. These data have recently been collected in our group with the goal to develop and assess pen input recognition technologies for the domain of crisis management. In our envisaged scenarios ..."

Iconicity as Evidenced in Saisiyat Linguistic Coding of Causative Events
"... national taiwan university Causatives have been subjected to intensive scrutiny by linguists in recent years. Cross-linguistic studies suggest that the formation of causatives reects the real world perception of cause-result relations, though some studies contradict this nding. The aim of this study ..."

of this study is to explore the underlying principles that determine the way an event is encoded linguistically in Saisiyat, a Formosan language. Following Croft’s model of idealized single events, we promote the study of causatives to the discourse level. The results show that the iconicity of language
SYNTHESIZING AUDITORY ICONS

They are difficult to create and manipulate, however, because they usually rely on digital sampling techniques. This paper suggests that new synthesis algorit ..."

ABSTRACT The total-system performance assessment (TSPA) model for the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for the potential high-level nuclear-waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada was developed from a series of analyses and model studies of the Yucca Mountain site. The U.S. Department ..."
