We are Turing complete, and natural language parsing is decidable, so our syntactic abilities are in excess to those needed to speak a natural language. This is an anomaly, because evolution would not select and keep an overqualified feature. We solve this anomaly by using a coincidence, both syntax and problem solving are computing, and a difference, Turing completeness is not a requirement of...

Building computational models of human problem solving has been a longstanding goal in Artificial Intelligence research. The theories of cognitive architectures addressed this issue by embedding models of problem solving within them. This thesis presents an extended account of human problem solving and describes its implementation within one such theory of cognitive architecture—ICARUS. The doc...

The study's goal is to find out how emotional intelligence training affects adolescents' capacity for problem-solving and making choices. With a pretest-posttest control group, this study an actual experimental design. 22 students who were enrolled in secondary school using paradigm participated the study. Nonparametric tests like Mann Whitney U Wilcoxon Signed Ranks deemed appropriate data ana...

Behavioral flexibility is considered an important trait for adapting to environmental change, but it is unclear what it is, how it works, and whether it is a problem solving ability. I investigated behavioral flexibility and problem solving experimentally in great-tailed grackles, an invasive bird species and thus a likely candidate for possessing behavioral flexibility. Grackles demonstrated b...

Problem-solving is an executive function subserved by a network of neural structures of which the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is central. Whereas several studies have evaluated the role of the DLPFC in problem-solving, few standardized tasks have been developed specifically for use with functional neuroimaging. The current study adapted a measure with established validity for the ass...

abstract background: self-esteem is a determinant factor of mental health. individuals with low self-esteem have depression, and low self-esteem is one of main symptoms of depression. aim of this study is to compare the effects of problem-solving skills and relaxation on the score of self-esteem in women with postpartum depression. materials and methods: this clinical trial was performed on 80 ...
