This research extends previous research regarding the intellectual functioning of autistic individuals on standardized measures of intelligence (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised). In Study I 33 individuals with autism who closely fit the DSM-III criteria were studied. Clear evidence was found that differentiates these individuals...

Research finds police-led crime control interventions focusing on places and involving partnerships tend to yield positive crime control outcomes. Some scholars argue that these positive outcomes are achieved when police use place-based, partnership-oriented interventions to facilitate and encourage collective efficacy (CE). The corollary being that these CE-enhancing efforts lead to less crime...

The recent success of machine learning has lead to advancements in robot intelligence and human-robot interaction. It is reported that robots can well understand visual scene information and describe the scenes in language using computer vision and natural language processing methods. Image Question-Answering (QA) systems can be used for human-robot interaction. However, to achieve human-level ...

This article proposed the models of intelligence type multimedia teaching software focusing on thinking. The design of the models reflects the characteristics of network , intelligence , multimedia , the design of modules and focusing on thinking. It also constructed a platformof developing teaching softwares , on which the brand new I-CAI teaching softwares can be developed and the existent CA...

We propose a model of vision communication that emphasizes the mediating role of follower collective possible selves – self-conception in terms of what the collective (team, organization) one is a member of may become in the future that can be held by individuals but can also be shared by multiple individuals. Our model is the first to provide an integrative account of how vision communication ...

BACKGROUND Various neuroimaging studies, both structural and functional, have provided support for the proposal that a distributed brain network is likely to be the neural basis of intelligence. The theory of Distributed Intelligent Processing Systems (DIPS), first developed in the field of Artificial Intelligence, was proposed to adequately model distributed neural intelligent processing. In a...

We examined the functional role of white matter growth in cognitive development. Specifically, we used hierarchical regression analyses to test the unique contributions of age versus white matter integrity in accounting for the development of information processing speed. Diffusion tensor imaging was acquired for 17 children and adolescents (age range 6-17 years), with apparent diffusion coeffi...

Children with congenital visual impairment have been reported to be delayed in theory of mind development. So far, research focused on first-order theory of mind, and included mainly blind children, whereas the majority of visually impaired children is not totally blind. The present study set out to explore whether children with a broader range of congenital visual impairments have a delay in m...

Myopia, or near-sightedness, is our most common eye condition and the prevalence is increasing globally. Visual impairment will occur if uncorrected, whilst high myopia causes sight-threatening complications. Myopia is associated with higher intelligence. As both are heritable, we set out to examine whether there is a genetic correlation between myopia and intelligence in over 1,500 subjects (a...

This report is a literature survey on causality with special emphasis on exploiting visual sensory information. It also discusses philosophical aspects of causality to establish common grounds with causal theory of perception. Current research on causal modeling involves such fields as social sciences, epidemiology, econometrics and artificial intelligence. Computer vision, or profiting from vi...
