Introduction As a research methodology, phenomenology is uniquely positioned to help health professions education (HPE) scholars learn from the experiences of others. Phenomenology is a form of qualitative research that focuses on the study of an individual’s lived experiences within the world. Although it is a…

Two very fundamental aspects of phenomenal experiences underline the fact that they seem to have “something it’s like.” One aspect is the fact that experiences have a locus: they Can seem “external” (perceptual), “internal” (interoceptive, bodily or emotional) or “mental.” A second fundamental aspect is the…

Space and time are irreducible dimensions of nature-measurable but not derivable from anything more fundamental. Life and experience are here proposed as similarly irreducible dimensions. Together-sometimes referred to as lifeexperience to mark their inseparability-they constitute the dimensional ground from which…

Large language model (LLM) agents have shown strong capabilities in reasoning, tool use, and multi-step interaction, but they often solve tasks from scratch and fail to reuse successful strategies or failure lessons from prior experience. Fine-tuning on collected experience can improve reuse, but it is inflexible when…

Recent visual experience heavily influences our visual perception, but how this is mediated by the reshaping of neuronal activity to alter and improve perceptual discrimination remains unknown. We recorded from populations of neurons in visual cortical area V4 while monkeys performed a natural image change detection…

Subjective experience is a powerful driver of decision-making and continuously accrues. However, most neurobiological studies constrain analyses to task-related variables and ignore how continuously and individually experienced internal, temporal, and contextual factors influence adaptive behavior during…

This 2022 revision is largely unchanged from the previous arXiv version, but includes newer references and some additional discussion in italics. An updated summary of this work has been published as: Feldman, J. (2022). Computation, perception, and mind. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 45, E48.…

Subjective experiences are hard to capture quantitatively without losing depth and nuance, and subjective report analyses are time-consuming, their interpretation contested. We describe Temporal Experience Tracing, a method that captures relevant aspects of the unified conscious experience over a continuous period of…

Background: Retrieving and mining practitioners' self–reports of their professional experience of software practice could provide valuable evidence for research. We are, however, unaware of any existing reviews of research conducted in this area. Objective: To review and classify previous research, and to identify…

Any finalized activity is simultaneously “productive” and “constructive”. It is productive since it is focused on the accomplishment of a project, according to the characteristics of the situation. It is also constructive since it is involved in the development of external and internal resources-such as instruments…

Psychology should be a positive, empirically informed science of human existence; that is, a science of human experience of and acting in the world, in their unity. Therefore, psychology has to take human experience seriously. What does it mean for “psychology of time”? The term was coined more than a century ago…

Context: Empirical studies in software engineering are typically centered on human subjects, ranging from novice to experienced developers. The experience of these individuals is a key context factor that should be properly characterized for supporting the design of empirical studies and interpreting their results.…

—New ways of working such as globally distributed development or the integration of self-motivated external developers into software ecosystems will require a better and more comprehensive understanding of developers' feelings, perceptions, motivations and identification with their tasks in their respective project…

Experience learning has achieved promising results in enhancing LLM agent planning and reasoning by integrating past interactions as reusable knowledge. However, existing methods remain confined to explicit text space, retrieving experiences via semantic similarity and concatenating them into the context window…

Human navigation heavily relies on visual information. Although many previous studies have investigated how navigational information is inferred from visual features of scenes, little is understood about the impact of navigational experience on visual scene representation. In this study, we examined how navigational…

Visual expertise—the ability to discriminate highly similar exemplars quickly and accurately within a category—supports skilled performance across real-world domains and is supported by distributed neural systems. We focus on non-face expertise to test cross-domain convergence in acquired real-world visual skills…

'Mojtaba Vaismoradi'] Clinical expertise has since 1891 a Swedish counterpart in proven experience. This study aims to increase our understanding of clinicians’ views of their professional expertise, both as a source or body of knowledge and as a skill or quality. We examine how Swedish healthcare personnel view their…

'Angelika Zollfrank' 'Diana Wilke' 'Richard Powell' 'Walter Smith' 'Kenneth Pargament'] Background Chaplaincy is a relatively new discipline in medicine that provides for care of the human spirit in healthcare contexts for people of all worldviews. Studies indicate wide appreciation for its importance, yet empirical…

Sample efficiency is a fundamental challenge in de novo molecular design. Ideally, molecular generative models should learn to satisfy desired objectives under minimal oracle evaluations (computational prediction or wet-lab experiment). This problem becomes more apparent when using oracles that can provide increased…

Humans are skilled at recognizing everyday objects from pictures, even if we have never encountered the depicted object in real life. But if we have encountered an object, how does that real-world experience affect the representation of its photographic image in the human brain? We developed a paradigm that involved…

Parsing experience into meaningful events or units, known as event segmentation, may be critical for structuring episodic memory, planning, and navigating the spatial and social world. However, little is known about what factors shape inter-individual differences in event segmentation. Here, we show that individuals…

Hands-on learning is a staple in high school science education, as it provides students with a fast-learning curve and a great degree of field competency. However, due to the safety risks associated with high school students in university chemistry laboratory settings, high school students rarely engage in authentic…

Conscious awareness of the world fluctuates, either through variation in the quality with which we perceive the environment, or, when attention switches to information generated using imagination rather than the external environment. Our study combined individual differences in experience sampling, psychophysical…

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated outstanding capabilities in general problem-solving and been shown to improve productivity in certain domains. Thanks to their flexibility, recent work has leveraged them for diverse scientific applications, ranging from predictive modeling, scientific Q&A, and even as…

The manufacturing process of batteries can be complex and time-consuming. We introduce a new version of the digital twin of our lithium ion battery pilot line, Simubat 4.0 Gen-2, based on a new combination of Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality. This digital twin is designed to deliver training on the lithium-ion battery…
