What are the characteristics of long-term learning? We investigated the characteristics of long-term, symbolic learning using the Soar and ACT-R cognitive architectures running cognitive models of two simple tasks. Long sequences of problems were run collecting data to answer fundamental questions about long-term, symbolic learning. We examined whether symbolic learning continues indefinitely, ...

appropriate application of graphics in textbooks of teaching persian to speakers of other languages (tpsol) could play an important role in the process of teaching persian to non-persian speakers. according to the theories of cognitive learning, visuals, if used properly, would have a greatly positive effect in learning; however, their erroneous application can have negative result. however, it...

Recently, Fuzzy Grey Cognitive Maps (FGCM) has been proposed as a Grey System theory-based FCM extension. Grey systems have become a very effective theory for solving problems within environments with high uncertainty, under discrete small and incomplete data sets. The benefits of FGCMs over conventional FCMs make evident the significance of developing a greyness-based cognitive model such as F...

We apply Bayesian data analysis to a structured cognitive model in order to determine the priors that support human generalizations in a simple concept learning task. We modeled 250,000 ratings in a “number game” experiment where subjects took examples of a numbers produced by a program (e.g. 4, 16, 32) and rated how likely other numbers (e.g. 8 vs. 9) would be to be generated. This paper devel...

background: workplace stress is known to be related with many behavioral and disease outcomes. however, little is known about its prospective relationship with measures of cognitive decline. objective: to investigate the association of job strain, psychological demands and job control on cognitive decline. methods: participants from framingham offspring cohort (n=1429), were assessed on job str...

Flavonoids may exert particularly powerful actions on mammalian cognition and may reverse age-related declines in memory and learning. Flavonoids can be modulated neuronal function and there by influencing memory, learning and cognitive function. Dietary supplementation with flavonoid-rich foods, such as blueberry, green tea and Ginkgo biloba lead to significant reversals of age-related deficit...

Due to delay and energy constraints, a cognitive radio may not be able to perform spectrum sensing in all available channels. Therefore, a sensing policy is needed to decide which channels to sense. The channel selection problem is the problem of designing such a sensing policy to maximize throughput while avoiding interference to primary users. The channel selection problem can be formulated a...

L2 learners’ multiple intelligences (MI) profile plays a central role in theirperformance on different aspects of language learning, one of which is the use oflanguage learning strategies (LLSs). Gaining insights into the relationship betweenMI and LLSs makes L2 teachers better understand their learners’ strengths andweaknesses in the use of such strategies and lets them guide the learners bett...
