METHODS The authors built consensus by an iterative process. Do's and Don'ts were proposed based on authors' individual teaching experience and awareness...

Executive control describes a wide range of cognitive processes which are critical for the goal-directed regulation of stimulus processing and action regulation.

We have developed a system that generates evaluative arguments that are tailored to the user, properly arranged and concise. We have also devised an evaluation framework in which the effectiveness of evaluative arguments can be measured with real users. This paper presents...
