“…The tags allowed the identification of specific cases for the informants to discuss, both prompting more detailed accounts of these cases and mitigating against the tendency to produce an idealised description (cf. Eldridge, Barnard and Bekerian, 1994). The interviews were semi-structured, ensuring that common areas were covered with all interviewees, while allowing further exploration of topics as they emerged.…”

An understanding of the ways in which work coordination is achieved in practice is essential to the development of effective CSCW technologies. However, previous studies are limited in their focus on small, self-contained work groups. In this analysis of work coordination in a hospital context, a broader perspective was adopted, allowing examination of activities across time, group and location. The use of a relevant structured methodology and a focus on deviations from formal procedures enabled the consideration of a range of contextual factors in interaction: Important aspects of work coordination to emerge included: status influences on the effectiveness of working practices; the social and political uses of information; conflicts between work goals and between motivations for coordinating activities; the role of informal practices; and the use of formal procedures to regulate inter-group relations. The implications of these issues for CSCW design in the hospital context are illustrated.

“…According to this representational framework, SECs provide a general structure/organization in memory for particular behaviors over relatively long periods (e.g., from minutes to hours). SECs are stored representations of sequential event knowledge and represent sequences of activities that have been described elsewhere as ''scripts'' or ''schemas'' (Eldridge, Barnard, & Bekerian, 1994;Casson, 1983;Schank & Abelson, 1977). Grafman (1999) proposes that event features (an SEC subcomponent) are localized in the left PFC and that there is category specificity in terms of localization of these SEC representations within the PFC.…”

Abstract& Complex social behavior and the relatively large size of the prefrontal cortex are arguably two of the characteristics that distinguish humans from other animals. Grafman presented a framework concerning how the prefrontal cortex (PFC) controls complex behavior using stored structured event complexes (SECs). We report behavioral and imaging data from a modified go/no-go paradigm in which subjects had to classify words (semantic) and phrases (SEC) according to category. In experimental trials, subjects classified items according to social or nonsocial activity; in control trials, they classified items according to font. Subjects were faster to classify social than nonsocial semantic items, with the reverse pattern evident for the social and nonsocial SEC items. In addition, the conditions were associated with different patterns of PFC activation. These results suggest that there are different psychological and neural substrates for social and nonsocial semantic and SEC representations. &

“…In the study by [21], psychologists found a tendency for people with highly elaborated daily schemas to recall more activities from last week better than people with poorly elaborated schemas. Therefore, memory-supporting tools may be able to assist people to associate things in order to elaborate and consolidate their memories, and which can facilitate retrieval by strengthening the links between memories and the cues that life logs systems can provide, and potentially enhancing their efficiency at performing various tasks.…”

Memory is a key human facility to support life activities, including social interactions, life management and problem solving. Unfortunately, our memory is not perfect. Normal individuals will have occasional memory problems which can be frustrating, while those with memory impairments can often experience a greatly reduced quality of life. Augmenting memory has the potential to make normal individuals more effective, and those with significant memory problems to have a higher general quality of life. Current technologies are now making it possible to automatically capture and store daily life experiences over an extended period, potentially even over a lifetime. This type of data collection, often referred to as a personal life log (PLL), can include data such as continuously captured pictures or videos from a first person perspective, scanned copies of archival material such as books, electronic documents read or created, and emails and SMS messages sent and received, along with context data of time of capture and access and location via GPS sensors. PLLs offer the potential for memory augmentation. Existing work on PLLs has focused on the technologies of data capture and retrieval, but little work has been done to explore how these captured data and retrieval techniques can be applied to actual use by normal people in supporting their memory. In this paper, we explore the needs for augmenting human memory from normal people based on the psychology literature on mechanisms about memory problems, and discuss the possible functions that PLLs can provide to support these memory augmentation needs. Based on this, we also suggest guidelines for data for capture, retrieval needs and computer-based interface design. Finally we introduce our work-in-process prototype PLL search system in the iCLIPS project to give an example of augmenting human memory with PLLs and computer based interfaces.
