ions and indicators as the « x » that was needed in example 4) expressing how the lexical morphemes are combined in the sentence ([Rozier & Tellier 92]). Montague’s system has often been criticized because it is fully compositional. We are not concerned by these critics here because our representation is not semantical. The only compositionality we assume is then a compositionality of mental st...

In this research we examined the relationships among cognitive styles using the categorization of Bion and styles of modulation of emotional behavior (hostile content) explored with the Gottschalk, et al. method applied to the speech of 20 female and 10 male undergraduate students whose ages ranged from 20 to 35 years. Their verbalization was produced in a standard stimulus situation of 3 minut...

Problem-solving styles and interpersonal dynamics of project teams are often critical factors for a team to function effectively. To study problem-solving styles and track intra-team interactions, the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI) was used to determine the cognitive styles of engineering and management students in Bucknell’s Institute for Leadership in Technology and Management (IL...

This chapter explores the perception and modeling of style in design relating to visuo-spatial representation and reasoning. We approach this subject via cognitive and contextual considerations significant to the role of style during designing. A designer’s ability to represent and reason about design artifacts visually and spatially allows meaningful ‘chunks’ of design information to be utiliz...

Several factors influence the level of business process model understanding. In this paper, we investigate two personal factors that potentially relate to this level: a reader’s cognitive style and theoretical knowledge on business process (BP) modeling. An experiment with 183 graduate students was conducted to explore their differences in cognitive styles using Cognitive Style Index (CSI) and ...

This study examined the influence of cognitive style, spatial orientation and computer expertise on hypertext navigation patterns and learning outcomes when participants interacted with a hypermedia presentation. A sample of 306 undergraduates was pre-tested both on their cognitive style and on their selfreported frequency and ability in using computers. From the initial sample, 40 students wer...

A robotic-aid system could be more effective if the system were intelligent enough to understand human needs and adapt its behaviors accordingly. This paper presents our efforts to realize such a robot that we call a cognitive robot through a multi-agent-based cognitive robot architecture with three distinctive memory systems. Several applications illustrate how the system interacts with humans.

patients and methods the study sample was selected randomly and consisted of 200 (age group 16-60 y) depressed females (mild to moderate); 100 from tehran (iran) and another 100 from pune (india). the type of the research was causal-comparative. the data collection took place in hospitals and clinics in the targeted cities. descriptive statistic tests and hierarchical multiple regression were e...

This article investigates the relation between cognitive style and motivation to learn science. The concept of cognitive style proposes the interplay of two core psychological dimensions, empathizing and systemizing. The cognitive style is defined as the interplay between the two abilities. We used the so-called EQ score (empathy quotient) and the SQ score (systemizing quotient) to measure the ...
