We describe a cognitive model of a collaborative agent that can serve as the basis for automated systems that must collaborate with other agents, including humans, to solve problems. This model builds on standard approaches to cognitive architecture and intelligent agency, as well as formal models of speech acts, joint intention, and intention recognition. The model is nonetheless intended for ...

objective: the present study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of two therapeutic approaches, namely, cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt) and stages of change model (soc) on improving abstinence self-efficacy in adolescent addicts. methods: forty five self-referred adolescent addicts were randomly selected to take part in this study. initial assessment was made using the following quest...

fluency in a second language (l2) involves a quintessentially cognitive processing system that operates quickly and effectively. the perceived importance of researching fluency through a psycholinguistic lens has motivated the related l2 research to resort to current cognitive speaking-specific models. this study, drawing on levelt’s (1999a) psycholinguistic model, probed the deficiency sources...

Cognitive modeling is the distinguishing factor of cognitive science and the method of choice for formalizing human cognition. In order to bridge the gap between logic and human reasoning, a number of foundational research questions need to be rigorously answered. The objective of this paper is to present relevant concepts and to introduce possible modeling standards as well as key discussion p...

abstract background: osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease. the purpose of this study is to investigate the health belief model (hbm) and social cognitive theory (sct) for osteoporosis preventive nutritional behaviors in women. materials and methods: in this quasi‑experimental study, 120 patients who were women and registered under the health centers in fasa city, fars province...

following the widespread acceptance of multiple intelligences theory, thomas armstrong (1984), in the initiative action, integrated it with bloom's taxonomy and enriched the theory. actually, armstrong helped remarkable by this integration to classify each of multiple intelligences in each of the six levels of cognitive domain, as well as better planning and targeting and designing curricu...

This study rests on the two basic ideas: that there has been a visible development of cognitive skills from the Antiquity to nowadays, and that the text analysis is the only way to bring it out. The author addresses the three eminent works: Euclid’s Elements and the historical treatises by Herodotus and Thucydides to reveal the notable peculiarities of the Ancient Greeks’ cognitive style in com...

Models of physical systems range from those of initial individual cognition to mathematical representations on a computer which are accepted as the developed final models. It is conjectured that a formalization of the qualitative cognitive models will help us to understand how they are formed and will eventually help us to produce better computer models. The structure of these models would prov...

Research in computational cognitive modeling investigates the nature of cognition through developing process-based understanding by specifying computational models of mechanisms (including representations) and processes. In this enterprise, a cognitive architecture is a domaingeneric computational cognitive model that may be used for a broad, multiple-level, multipledomain analysis of behavior....
