The authors systematically assessed the insulin-related knowledge and injection skills of a sample of adults with diabetes and found that errors in self-administering insulin, including choo...

Biased ART: A neural architecture that shifts attention toward previously disregarded features following an incorrect prediction

Memories in Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) networks are based on matched patterns that focus attention on those portions of bottom-up inputs that match active top-down expectations. While this learning strategy has proved successful for both brain models and applications, computational examples show that attention to early critical features may later distort memory representations during onlin...

Then I asked him: ‘‘Can you tell me the symptoms of which the majority of people complain when they fall sick?’’ After some consideration he said, ‘‘No.’’ I said, ‘‘The most common complaint is exhaustion.
