A hybrid (symbolic/connectionist) cognitive architecture, DUAL, is proposed. It is a multi-agent system which consist of a large number of non-cognitive, relatively simple agents, and which behaviour emerges from the behaviour of these simple agents and the interactions between them. The agents within this architecture have no internal knowledge base and goals. They are both computational devic...

BACKGROUND Previous studies concerned with neuropsychological aspect of delusions, were mainly focused on specific forms of this disorder, such as Cotard or Capgras type of delusions. Comparatively small numbers of investigations were concerned with cognitive deficiencies accompanying the delusions. The substance of this study includes the detection of neuropsychological dysfunctions in patient...

We examine the science and evidence supporting cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for the treatment of bulimia nervosa and other eating disorders. Recent trials focusing on the abnormal cognitive and emotional aspects of bulimia have reported a remission rate of about 45%, and a relapse rate of about 30% within one year. However, an early CBT trial that emphasized the normalization of eating beha...

In the context of cognitive architectures, memory is typically considered as a passive storage device with the sole purpose of maintaining and retrieving information relevant to ongoing cognitive processing. If memory is instead considered to be a fundamentally active aspect of cognition, as increasingly suggested by empirically-derived neurophysiological theory, this passive role must be reint...

This research explores an aspect of developers’ cognitive structure based on the theory of cognitive complexity. Underlying structure for information processing is the central topic of a variety of theories known collectively as complexity theories. These theories address the structural dimensions that underlie the flow, processing, and use of information within individual, team or organization...

University students have poor sleep hygiene, leading to poorer health. Facets of self-regulation such as planning, behavioural inhibition, cognitive flexibility and working memory were explored in relation to three sleep hygiene behaviours: Avoiding stress or anxiety before bed, avoiding going to bed hungry or thirsty, and making the bedroom restful. One hundred and thirty-seven participants to...

Beller, Bender, and Medin argue that a reconciliation between anthropology and cognitive science seems unlikely. We disagree. In our view, Beller et al.'s view of the scope of what anthropology can offer cognitive science is too narrow. In focusing on anthropology's role in elucidating cultural particulars, they downplay the fact that anthropology can reveal both variation and universals in hum...
