Testing the Action-Based Model of Cognitive Dissonance: The Effect of Action Orientation on Postdecisional Attitudes

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2002
Two experiments were designed to test the prediction, derived from the action-based model of cognitive dissonance, that facilitation of an action-oriented mindset would increase cognitive discrepancy reduction. In Experiment 1, following an easy or difficult decision, a manipulated action-oriented mindset (thinking about implementing the decision ...

Action Recognition Based on Multi-scale Oriented Neighborhood Features

International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition, 2015
The spatio-temporal (ST) position information between local features plays an important role in action recognition task. To use the information, neighborhood-based features are built for describing local ST information around ST interest points. However, traditional methods of constructing neighborhood, such as sub-ST volumetric method and nearest ...

The region-based distance of oriented gradient and motion direction for human action classification

2012 International Symposium on Communications and Information Technologies (ISCIT), 2012
Human action in the image sequence can be seen as the relation of the movement of body parts. Since, human has an articulated body, each body part cannot move freely. In each action, the specific directions of body parts arrangement cause a change in posture and movement over time.

Bayesian Classification of Task-Oriented Actions Based on Stochastic Context-Free Grammar

7th International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FGR06), 2006
This paper proposes a new approach for recognition of task-oriented actions based on stochastic context-free grammar (SCFG). Our attention puts on actions in the Japanese tea ceremony, where the action can be described by context-free grammar. Our aim is to recognize the action in the tea services. Existing SCFG approach consists of generating symbolic

Recognizing actions using depth motion maps-based histograms of oriented gradients

Proceedings of the 20th ACM international conference on Multimedia, 2012
In this paper, we propose an effective method to recognize human actions from sequences of depth maps, which provide additional body shape and motion information for action recognition. In our approach, we project depth maps onto three orthogonal planes and accumulate global activities through entire video sequences to generate the Depth Motion Maps ...

Engaging Preservice Teachers in Context-based, Action-oriented Curriculum Development

Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2016
Physical education teacher education programs have a responsibility to prepare students in the technical aspects of teaching physical education, while also helping them to develop an awareness of the micropolitical cultures of schools that have implications for the implementation of what has been learned.

A project-based view of entrepreneurship: towards action-orientation, seriality and collectivity

2003
Traditional entrepreneurship research often tends to view entrepreneurship in terms of individual actors starting enterprises, an approach which might limit further development of entrepreneurship ...

3D Motion Trail Model Based Pyramid Histograms of Oriented Gradient for Action Recognition

2014 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2014
Human action recognition based on the depth maps is an important yet challenging task. In this paper, a new framework based on the 3D motion trail model (3DMTM) and Pyramid Histograms of Oriented Gradient (PHOG) is proposed to recognize human actions from sequences of depth maps.

Multimedia-oriented action recognition in Smart City-based IoT using multilayer perceptron

Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2019
The Internet of Things (IoT) devices and technologies for smart city applications produces a vast amount of multimedia data (e.g., audio, video, image, text and sensorial data), such big data are difficult to handle with traditional techniques and algorithms. The emerging machine learning techniques have the potential to facilitate the development of a

A Model of Task-Oriented Communication Based on Principles of Rational Action and Interaction

1991
This paper presents a simple rule-based approach to express the rational behind physical actions and communicative acts by formally reconstructing the behavior of the agents involved on the basis of their mental states. The model of rational action and interaction is grounded on four principles comprising the concepts of mental initiative, physical ...
