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 ...

The number of devices (in-car navigation systems, cell phones, email, web services, etc.) competing for a driver’s attention is increasing creating the need for controlling cognitive load. We present a system, the Persistent Conversational Assistant, which strives to reduce cognitive load by providing the user with an intelligent-seeming assistant. Intelligence on the assistant’s part can reduc...

Many traffic accidents are caused by the driver’s related errors and his cognitive ability is the most important as a direct cause. Since not all drivers are dangerous, the most effective method is to recognize a “dangerous” driver in advance, before a traffic accident occurs. This study utilized a questionnaire to collect examples of both traffic accidents and near misses that occur during ord...

Classroom community may be referred to as the sense of trust and interaction between groups of learners, and it has been argued that sense of community is imperative to successful learning. The construct of cognitive style has frequently been used to explain differences in the educational attainment and has also been found related to social behaviour. The aim of this study was to investigate th...
