Towards a Computational Account of Context Mediated Affective Stimulus-Response Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Affective stimuli can elicit fast and automatic responses. Traditional accounts assume a dual route mechanism with one route underlying automatic processing and one route underlying controlled processing. Recent studies show that automatic processes may be affected by top-down influences. To account for this interaction between automatic and controlled processing, we present a computational model. In this model, the cognitive representation of the task influences how stimuli and responses are encoded. As a result, the model can perform fast, automatic (affective) stimulus-response translation. This automatic processing is mediated by cognitive control.

Context-Dependent Automatic Response Generation Using Statistical Machine Translation Techniques
Developing a system that can automatically respond to a user’s utterance has recently become a topic of research in natural language processing. However, most works on the topic take into account only a single preceding utterance to generate a response. Recent works demonstrate that the application of statistical machine translation (SMT) techniques towards monolingual dialogue setting, in whic...

Introduction: The main objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of preceding pictorial stimulus on the emotional autonomic responses of the subsequent one. Methods: To this effect, physiological signals, including Electrocardiogram (ECG), Pulse Rate (PR), and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) were collected. As these signals have random and chaotic nature, nonlinear dynamics...
متن کاملAffect and action: Towards an event-coding account
Viewing emotion from an evolutionary perspective, researchers have argued that simple responses to affective stimuli can be triggered without mediation of cognitive processes. Indeed, findings suggest that positively and negatively valenced stimuli trigger approach and avoidance movements automatically. However, affective stimulus response compatibility phenomena share so many central character...
متن کاملKnowledge Translation in Healthcare – Towards Understanding its True Complexities; Comment on “Using Complexity and Network Concepts to Inform Healthcare Knowledge Translation”
This commentary argues that to fully appreciate the complexities of knowledge transfer one firstly has to distinguish between the notions of “data, information, knowledge and wisdom,” and that the latter two are highly context sensitive. In particular one has to understand knowledge as being personal rather than objective, and hence there is no form of knowledge that a-priori is more authoritat...
متن کاملA Survey on the Attitudes of Students Majoring in English Language towards the Teaching Methods in Translation Courses
As a subset of descriptive studies, the current research focused on learners’ perception of the common teaching methods in translation courses. Accordingly, a multi-item Likert-scale questionnaire with 29 items was developed based on the proposed strategies applied in the three traditional, complex and modern methods of teaching for collecting the research data. Cronbach’s alpha was administere...
