914 August, 2009 Call for Proposals and Participation 9­14 August, 2009 Call for Proposals and Participation About IEA 2009 Congress Since it was first established 50 years ago, the International Ergonomics Association (IEA) has organized several congresses, with the 17 th event to be held in August 2009. The IEA Congress has become a respected forum for the substantive interchange of ideas in all areas of human factors and ergonomics. IEA 2009 is jointly organized by three federated societies of the IEA – Chinese Ergonomics Society, Ergonomics Society of Taiwan, and the Hong Kong Ergonomics Society. On the theme “Partnerships in Ergonomics – Changes, Challenges and Opportunities” IEA 2009 will be held in Beijing, China, from 9­14 August, 2009. The objective of the congress is to provide a unique environment in which researchers and practitioners in the human factors and ergonomics sciences can frankly exchange and discuss their research ideas, techniques and applications. To realize this objective and to facilitate lively discussion and interaction, the format of the congress program is carefully structured. While the number of participation is not limited, submitted papers will be peer‐reviewed and published by the IEA Press. IEA Congresses are totally self‐supported by registration income; therefore, funding support cannot be offered for participants. However, fees have been kept reasonable for students and participants from industrially developing countries. See www.iea2009.org for details. Scientific Program IEA Congress is recognized particularly for its high degree of discussion among the participants during the week long deliberation. Paper sessions are conducted in a variety of settings, from workshop‐like to forum‐style, hands‐on demonstrations, and typical oral presentations. The week's events consist of plenary lectures, advanced seminars, tutorials, workshops, open forums, task forces, symposia, and the daily presentation of accepted manuscripts which emphasize research and development activities. Below are program tracks organized by members of the IEA Technical Committees, and International Scientific Committee. The scope and coverage should enable greater participation and discussion. Accepted papers may be theoretical, conceptual, tutorial or descriptive in nature. Those selected for presentation will be published in the Conference Proceedings published by the IEA Press. Submissions must not have been previously published or be under submission elsewhere; all submissions undergo a peer referee process to determine their relevance, technical merit, and clarity. Technical Committee Tracks Below are the main tracks of IEA Technical Committees and their Chairs. The Co‐Chair is either from the Technical Committee, or invited members from the International Scientific Committee. Read about the tracks in the IEA newsletter, starting May 2008 to know about its scope and coverage of topics.

Superior Street, Suite 210, Duluth, MN 55802 How Awareness of the End of Life Impacts Creativity Haiyang Yang, INSEAD, France Amitava Chattopadhyay, INSEAD, Singapore We show that mortality salience inhibits access to divergent information in memory, hampering creative ability.

For this reason, a further analysis of this arrangement is necessary and worthwhile. Two research methods were adopted to duplicate earlier studies. One was the paper-pencil test in which subjects took three different questionnaire forms that used alphabetical, sign, and numerical code systems. The other method was computer simulation in which subjects took part in a performance test of four arrangements of con troll burner designs, and reaction time and error rate were measured.

Prior to his career in academia, Dr. Gopher spent a combined 15 years with the Israel Defense Forces and Israel Air Force. Initially, he worked as a Senior Research officer in the Manpower Division of the Israel Defense Forces (1966-1968) and was promoted to acting head in 1968. In 1970, he transitioned to a role with the Institute of Aviation Medicine (1970-1975) and became head of Human Factors for the Israel Air Force in 1975. He served as a Senior Scientist with the Israel Airforce, holding this appointment until 1981. While he was with the military, Dr. Gopher pursued his masters (1968) and doctorate (1972) in Experimental Psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After graduating, he pursued a post- doc at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. His post-doctoral work focused on multivariate analyses, man-machine models, and flight training. In 1996, Dr. Gopher co-established the joint Technion-Haifa University Max Wertheimer Minerva Research Center for Cognitive Processes and Human Performance. He has also served as director of The Research Center for Work Safety and Human Engineering, an interdisciplinary center that involves more than 100 researchers across 7 laboratories and 5 Technion departments.

PERCRO Lab Scuola Superiore S.

In the previous days of computer technology, training environments were obtained by providing off- line and online information about athlete performance in the form of biofeed- back (Liebermann & Breazeal, 2007), or transfer from the video game training context to performance at the real task (Rosser et al., 2007). The recent improvement in visualization, motion capture, and computing power in general has paved the way for the development of simulation VE for training sensorimo- tor components of sports (Hasegawa et al., 2006; Bailenson et al., 2008; Bideau et al., 2010).

Introduction 2 b. Administration of the Center 32 c. Research Reports 35 d. Publications and Conferences 156 e. Israeli-German Cooperation 193 f. Future Activities and Research Plan 212 g. Budget 226 h. Appendix 237 2 a. Introduction a.1 History of the Center The Max-Wertheimer Minerva Center for Cognitive Processes and Human Performance was established in 1996. It is a joint Center that combines the activity of eight senior researchers from two institutions - the University of Haifa and the Technion, both located in Haifa, Israel. The research activity is conducted in laboratories that the two institutions allocated for the Center at its onset. Part of the joint German-Israeli research is also conducted in Germany. The administrative activity is centered at the University of Haifa, which houses the Center’s research coordinator. The first seven-year evaluation of the Center was in 2003. The members of the evaluation committee were Prof. Peter Alexander Frensch (chairman), Prof. Nelson Cowan, Prof. Randall W. Engle, Prof. Larry L. Jacoby, and Prof. Carlo Umiltá. The committee's report noted: "Given that some of the world's most important scientists in the areas of meta-cognition, attention, perception, and skill acquisition are members of the Max-Wertheimer Center, it is perhaps not surprising that the scientific impact of the Center has been outstanding. There is no doubt that the Center has been and continues to be a major international player and has been operating at an internationally visible level.
