The latter issue is discussed in conjunction with building up neuroscientific knowledge and envisaged future research challenges in mapping, understanding and training the aging brain.
Organizations need to develop succession plans 15 years out, which also requires talent mapping, understanding not only the talent you need to be competitive in the market today but also tomorrow, and how that talent will differ, what skills will be required, and what you must do to attract or develop that talent.
The story is told in five chapters: Seeing, Mapping, Understanding, Believing, and Acting.
The video ends and the monitors become interactive touch-screen experiences, each one focusing on what IBM deems to be a pillar of progress: Seeing, Mapping, Understanding, Believing, and Acting.
To assess overall topographic map understanding, we summed the scores for all 18 problems on the assessment.
This study reveals principles for instruction on topographic map understanding that could be adapted to other layered maps (e.g., weather maps).
Results from this study suggest that focusing attention on individual contour lines using pointing and tracing gestures facilitates topographic map understanding in novices.
If gesturing in general facilitates topographic map understanding overall, both instructional groups should perform better than the comparison groups on the assessment.
Although they may eventually be able to discover the route to a specific destination, interacting with conventional wayfinding aids, such as consulting a map, understanding signs, and asking people for directions, can be very time-consuming.
To explore the relationships among participants' topographic map understanding and other pre-existing skills, correlations were calculated between performance on the TMA (using the 22 items included in the majority coding of the TMA) and previous map experience, the SOT, and the WLT (all correlations were interpreted using Cohen's, 1988, conventions).
If pointing and tracing gestures help novices understand how contour lines are used to denote elevation information, the Pointing and Tracing group should perform better than the other three groups on the elevation items on the measure of topographic map understanding.
