All types of attribution based on which learners make their judgement (i.e., self efficacy), about academic success or failure or about a specific task usually affect their performance and their capabilities to deal with different realities. It is perhaps the most distinctive capability of self-reflection. Many of the cognitive theorists have defined it as a meta-cognitive capability. This judg...

Educators developing data mining courses face a difficult task of designing curricula that are adaptable, have solid foundations, and are tailored to students from different academic fields. This task could be facilitated by debating and sharing the ideas and experiences gained from the practice of data mining as well as from teaching data mining. The shared body of knowledge would be a valuabl...

Conflict detection in dual process contexts is a widely studied phenomenon. However, only a small portion of the investigations has studied the role of individual differences in a typical conflict detection paradigm. In this study, participants completed a modified base-rate neglect task, as well as the Cognitive Reflection Task (CRT), and two Thinking Disposition Questionnaires. Results suppor...

In this paper, we present the JUCSE system, designed for the TempEval-3 shared task. The system extracts events and temporal information from natural text in English. We have participated in all the tasks of TempEval-3, namely Task A, Task B & Task C. We have primarily utilized the Conditional Random Field (CRF) based machine learning technique, for all the above tasks. Our system seems to perf...

There is an extensive literature on task modelling related to the design of computer systems. Task analysis and task modelling have been widely recognized as central components in human-centred approaches. The aim of this paper is to report on some results of a worldwide survey about actual practices of task descriptions languages (TDL) in SIGCHI community. Results suggest that academic TDL are...

Realistic modeling of the interaction of light with objects is one important challenge in photorealistic or predictive rendering. Since the modeling of a desired appearance using parametric reflection models can be rather tideous task one way to obtain realistic reflection properties are measurements of real world surfaces. For arbitrary (non-fluorescent, nonphosphorescent) materials, the refle...

In previously depressed individuals, reflective thinking may easily get derailed and lead to detrimental effects. This study investigated the conditions in which such thinking is, or is not, adaptive. Levels of mindfulness and autobiographical memory specificity were assessed as potential moderators of the relationship between reflective thinking and depressive symptoms. Two hundred seventy-fou...

While performing a simple task of following: a suture while closing a surgical wound in a simulated environment, we hypothesized that negative reinforcement results in increased procedural errors, longer operating time and poorer trainee satisfaction. We aimed to measure the effect on participant performance and the perception of the instructor, following positive or negative supervisor feedbac...

The regulation of emotions is an ongoing internal process and often a challenge. Current related neural models concern the intended control of reactions towards external events, mediated by prefrontal cortex regions upon basal emotion processing as in the amygdala. Cognitive strategies to regulate emotions in the context of affective disorders or stress reduction, increasingly applied in clinic...
