The main goal of this thesis is to study how kinemorphs influence F-formation shapes by focusing on the occurrences of one-to-one F-formation shapes in a virtual environment social interaction setting. The problem statement relies three aspects of this investigation. Firstly, it has been known that the proximity is affected by kinemorphs; however, it is not clear whether the shape of a social group’s spatial arrangement is also influenced by kinemorphs. In the present study, F-formation shape of two facial kinemorphs were comparatively analyzed. Secondly, the interactions between human participants and robots in virtual reality were analyzed by focusing on likely similarities and differences to the real life human-human interactions in similar F-formation settings. Thirdly, the role of F-formation shapes was investigated on joining a dyadic interaction scenario. The results reveal systematic findings that address likely postures in a triadic interaction setting, for a robot agent in a virtual environment.

Evaluating working memory capacity and cognitive load in learning from goal based scenario centered 3D multimedia Kilic, Eylem; Yıldırım, Zahide (2010-02-08) The purpose of this study is to investigate working memory capacity and cognitive load in learning from Goal Based Scenario centered 3D multimedia learning environment (GBSc3DM) designed based on Cognitive Load Theory (CLT). GBSc3DM was developed in two versions. In the designed of the first version (+CLT) cognitive load principles were applied. In the second version (-CLT), however, the principles were violated. 47 11(th) grade high school students were selected based on their working memory capacity (WMC)...
The effect of augmented reality activities on improving preschool children’s spatial skills Gecü Parmaksız, Zeynep; Delialioğlu, Ömer (Informa UK Limited, 2019-11-01) This study compares the effect of Augmented Reality (AR) based virtual manipulatives to physical manipulatives for teaching geometric shapes to preschool children to improve their spatial skills. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized in order to answer the research questions. The context of the research was a public primary school in Turkey with 72 preschool children, ages ranging from five to six. As the treatment, while the experimental group used tablet computers with AR applications, the con...
The learning and use of traversability affordance using range images on a mobile robot Ugur, Emre; Dogar, Mehmet R.; Cakmak, Maya; Şahin, Erol (2007-04-14) We are interested in how the concept of affordances can affect our view to autonomous robot control, and how the results obtained from autonomous robotics can be reflected back upon the discussion and studies on the concept of affordances. In this paper, we studied how a mobile robot, equipped with a 3D laser scanner, can learn to perceive the traversability affordance and use it to wander in a room filled with spheres, cylinders and boxes. The results showed that after learning, the robot can wander around...
An Eye-Tracking Analysis of Spatial Contiguity Effect in Educational Animations Altan, Tuğba; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2015-08-07) The purpose of this study is to examine spatial contiguity effect on multimedia learning with an instructional animation using eye-tracking. The research method was experimental method and the study was conducted with a user group consisting of 12 participants (6 female and 6 male). The data collection tools were a demographic survey, a prior knowledge test, a retention test and an eye-tracker. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric statistics including Mann-Whitney...
