Aging-related declines occur in many different domains of cognitive function during middle and late adulthood. However, whether a global dimension underlies individual differences in changes in different domains of cognition and whether global genetic influences on cognitive changes exist is less clear. We addressed these issues by applying multivariate growth curve models to longitudinal data ...

BACKGROUND Gait slowing and cognitive decline are both common in older people. Although cross-sectionally related, the longitudinal associations between specific cognitive functions and gait speed are less well understood. We aimed to determine whether decline in specific cognitive domains are associated with change in gait speed. METHODS Participants aged 60-85, randomly selected from the el...

What Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the current time is not what it should be. The mainstream works in the field are on domain-specific problems and solutions. Instead, AI should focus on general-purpose systems that are adaptive to its environment, and can work with insufficient knowledge and resources. AI in this sense is unified with Cognitive Science at a general level, with the latter ...

Bridging problem domain and solution in product line engineering is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Since both domains are structured differently (features vs. artifacts), there is no natural way to map one to the other. Using an explicit and formal mapping creates opportunities for consistency checking and automation. This way both the configuration and the composition of product ins...

let $d$ be an integral domain and $star$ a semistar operation stable and of finite type on it. we define the semistar dimension (inequality) formula and discover their relations with $star$-universally catenarian domains and $star$-stably strong s-domains. as an application, we give new characterizations of $star$-quasi-pr"{u}fer domains and um$t$ domains in terms of dimension ine...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the effects of chemotherapy on cognitive function. The purposes of this metaanalysis were to estimate the effect sizes for the effect of chemotherapy on each domain of cognitive function and to differentiate effect sizes by each method of comparison of effects (i.e., normative data, control group, or baseline data). METHODS Sixteen studies that evaluated cogni...

In order to better understand the evolution of cognitive abilities in primates, information on cognitive traits of the most basal living primates can provide important comparative baseline data. Compared to haplorhine primates, lemurs have relatively smaller brains and reduced abilities to solve problems in the technical and social domain. However, recent studies have suggested that some cognit...

Abstract Objective To validate the Chilean Spanish translation of tenth English version Dynamic Loewestein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment for use in population. Method The into was carried out, and then a pilot test out application instrument, which 40 adults were recruited with an average age 42.7 years, various brain damages made up 70% women 30% men. evaluate reliability Cronbach'...

Current attempts to create a unified, multidisciplinary cognitive science have languished. This paper demonstrates how the human-computer interaction (HCI) paradigm can serve as a unifying framework for cognitive science. HCI has focused the research of many disciplines on the single domain of interaction design. Cognitive science, in contrast, has emphasized multidisciplinary research across a...

Previous research has indicated that education influences cognitive development, but it is unclear what, precisely, is being improved. Here, we tested whether education is associated with cognitive test score improvements via domain-general effects on general cognitive ability (g), or via domain-specific effects on particular cognitive skills. We conducted structural equation modeling on data f...
