The proximity of team members has potentially important implications for the collaborative working of teams. Using data from 430 team members and team leaders of 145 software development teams, the results of the regression models show that team members' proximity is significantly related to teamwork qualility.

paper explores the ways in which Wilbur and Orville Wright thought as they tackled the problem of designing and constructing a heavier-than-air craft that would fly under its own power and under their control. They used analogies based on mental models.

From the evolutionary perspective, one cannot directly sum micro into macro. Instead, an economic system can be conceived as a set of meso units, where each meso consists of a rule and its population of actualizations. The proper analytical structure of evolutionary economics is in terms of micro–meso–macro. The upshot is an ontologically coherent framework for analysis of economic evolution as a growth of knowledge process.

New model for CMC proposing a negative causal link between „naturalness” and the cognitive effort required to use the medium.

The analysis suggests that empirical investigation of the drivers of growth must shift down to a more microeconomic level. Using examples from India article suggest that in order to engender growth one need think much more carefully about policy choices at the local level.

On the super-additive contribution of original breakthrough invention and “mere imitation” and active sharing of IP instead of hoarding it.

Shepard and Chipman’s second order isomorphism de- scribes how the brain may represent the relations in the world. However, a common interpretation of the theory can cause difficulties. I propose that we assign an active role to the internal representations and relations

The growing awareness, that “good teamwork” increases the success of innovative projects, raises new questions: What is teamwork, and how can it be measured? article develops a comprehensive concept of the collaboration in teams, called Teamwork Quality (TWQ) with its six facets.

An integration of the CODE Theory of Visual Attention (CTVA) with information foraging theory that could lead to deeper analysis of interaction with visual content.

Demonstration of capabilities of calligraphic interfaces and freehand drawing to interpret symbolic diagrams in diverse range of appraches

Article supporting 2 cognitive principles of multimedia learning - the role of modality and contiguity

A research of the conceptual stages of design (typified by vague knowledge and shifting goals) using sketching improved by computer support

Students with text and illustrations and students who generated their own illustrations performed better on a problem-solving test than students with text only.

Awareness of the existence of emotional contagion may prove useful in understanding and perhaps advancing various areas of interpersonal communication. People's own emotions were more influenced by the others' nonverbal clues as to what they were really feeling. 

Imaginal coding typically enhances retention. Pictures are remembered better than words; words for which subjects imagine referents are better remembered than words studied without such coding; concrete words are better retained than abstract words; and mnemonic devices employing imagery can produce dramatic effects on retention.

The effects of imagery on immediate and long term recall and organization (clustering) were studies with regard to hight and low imagery concrete stimulus.  It was concluded that imagery is an important factor in free recall and organization nad functions analogously to verbal process. 

Participants monitored a monotonous mock telephone message. Half of the group was randomly assigned to a ‘doodling’ condition where they shaded printed shapes while listening to the telephone call. The doodling group performed better on the monitoring task and recalled 29% more information on a surprise memory test.

The first scientific paper on free hand input and line drawings using a computer that opens up a new area of man-machine communication.
