There is increased interest in the relationship between motor skills and social skills in child development, with evidence that the mechanisms underlying these behaviors may be linked. We took a cognitive approach to this problem, and examined the relationship between four specific cognitive domains: theory of mind, motor skill, action understanding, and imitation. Neuroimaging and adult resear...

This paper claims that theories from the French-speaking world have an influence on current thinking in IS research, including at the American and at the international levels. French theories are first defined and classified in 10 trends that correspond to 10 main authors. The frequency of their quotation is then measured in American and international conference in IS and in MISQ. The result is...

Game theory is a mathematical language for describing strategic interactions, in which each player's choice affects the payoff of other players (where players can be genes, people, companies, nation-states, etc.). The impact of game theory in psychology has been limited by the lack of cognitive mechanisms underlying game-theoretic predictions. 'Behavioural game theory' is a recent approach link...

This article affirms that Adlerian therapy— both explicitly and implicitly—is a relational constructivist approach, and consequently may serve as an integrative bridge betwe...

We describe a computational framework for emotions and feelings that combines biological, cognitive, and social influences. The framework, Soar-Emote, combines ideas from Damasio and Gratch & Marsella. From Damasio we include physiological influences, ideas about the differences between emotions and feelings, and the direction of causality. From Gratch we include cognitive and social influences...

The aim of this paper is to explain some of the ways in which multi agent system (MAS) theory can be used to describe, design and enhance social machines (also referred to as Socio-Cognitive Systems). We believe there is a really opportunity for the MAS community to engage with emerging theory and practice of designing such systems. Social machines also referred to as Socio-Cognitive Systems fr...

In people with psychiatric disorders, particularly those suffering from schizophrenia and related illnesses, pronounced difficulties in social interactions are a key manifestation. These difficulties can be partly explained by impairments in social cognition, defined as the ability to understand oneself and others in the social world, which includes abilities such as emotion recognition, theory...
