This meta-analysis assessed efficacy of pharmacologic and psychological interventions for treatment of perinatal depression. A systematic review identified 27 studies, including open trials (n=9), quasi-randomized trials (n=2), and randomized controlled trials (n=16) assessing change from pretreatment to posttreatment or comparing these interventions to a control group. Uncontrolled and control...

We are often not explicitly aware of the location of our spatial attention, despite its influence on our perception and cognition. During a picture memory task, we asked whether people could later recognise their eye fixations in a two-alternative test. In three separate experiments, participants performed above chance when discriminating their own fixation patterns from random locations or loc...

Metacognition addresses the issues of knowledge about cognition and regulating cognition. We argue that the regulation process should be improved with growing experience. Therefore mental models are needed which facilitate the re-use of previous regulation processes. We will satisfy this requirement by describing a case-based approach to Introspection Planning which utilises previous experience...

Trust plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of effective working relationships. In this paper we offer critical review conceptualization operationalization cognition-based affect-based trust. While definitions measures trust are abundant, view as concept with cognitive affective bases is well established. Nevertheless, validity approach has rarely been examined. Our theoretica...

Lawrence Shapiro’s Embodied Cognition is one of the first detailed book length attempts to introduce and develop the central themes of embodied cognition, an important trend in cognitive science. Embodied cognition is increasingly influential, but it would be a mistake to characterize it as a rigidly defined and unified theory. It emerged from a variety of fields (e.g., the phenomenological mov...

Objectives: Sleep deprivation (SD) has detrimental effects on cognition. Emotional processing, a critical component of social cognition, is also affected by SD. However, current research how SD affects emotion recognition and the specific that declines with inconsistent. The present study meta-analyzed results studies examining category changes in compared controls. Methods: PubMed, Web Science...

Situated cognition motivates a review of knowledge maintenance. If knowledge is situated, then a symbolic knowledge base will require modi-cation as the situation changes. We examine the AI and software engineering literature which relates to acquiring and changing programs. Based 5 on a reverse engineering of that literature, we see that strategies have been ooered to maintain diierent types o...

The current systematic review and meta-analysis provides an extended and comprehensive overview of the associations between neurocognitive and social cognitive functioning and different types of functional outcome. Literature searches were conducted in MEDLINE and PsycINFO and reference lists from identified articles to retrieve relevant studies on cross-sectional associations between neurocogn...

Studies investigating memory for events during anesthesia show a confusing pattern of positive and negative results. To establish whether there are any consistent patterns of findings across studies, we conducted a meta-analysis of the data from 2517 patients in 44 studies. The meta-analysis included two measures of the effects of positive suggestions on postoperative recovery: (a) the duration...

We have experimented with the notion of — conceptualization, and contextualization from situated cognition and psychic reflection from activity theory for studying, and modeling context into a method called the activity states framework (ASF). The purpose of the ASF is to provide a method of analysis for identifying collaborators activity during situated context − specific to Web-mediated colla...
