BACKGROUND Addiction for narcotics is a dangerous reality, especially in teenagers and young persons, and is one of the most important socioeconomic and health problems, threatens the human society and leads to social stagnancy in various aspects. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed at determining Meta-cognitive relationship with addiction potential tendency in students and determining the dis...

The current paper studies possible neuronal mechanisms for meta-level cognition of rule switching. In contrast to the conventional approach of hand-designing the cognitive functions, our study employs evolutional processes to search for neuronal mechanisms accounting for meta-level cognitive functions required in the investigated robotic tasks. Our repeated simulation experiments showed that th...

I argue that scientific cognition can be accounted for in a massive modularity theoretical framework. Scientific cognition is then described as a culturally informed reflection, allowed by meta-representational abilities, upon the mandatory output of preliminary modules.

the present meta-analysis was conducted to provide a quantitative measure of the overall effects of task complexity on chinese efl learners’ language production. based on the strict inclusion criteria, 12 primary studies were synthesized according to key features. eleven of them were meta-analyzed to investigate effects of raising the resource-directing task complexity. results revealed that ...

I develop a theory of General Situated Cognition. The project has several goals: (1) to unify existing foundational approaches to cognition; (2) to characterize the function of cognition in autonomous systems and suggest a general (meta-)framework for cognitive architecture; (3) to provide su ciency conditions and a classi cation of representation mechanisms in natural and arti cial cognitive s...

Major theories of team effectiveness position emergent collective cognitive processes as central drivers of team performance. We meta-analytically cumulated 231 correlations culled from 65 independent studies of team cognition and its relations to teamwork processes, motivational states, and performance outcomes. We examined both broad relationships among cognition, behavior, motivation, and pe...

This meta-analysis explores the role of the cerebellum in social cognition. Recent meta-analyses of neuroimaging studies since 2008 demonstrate that the cerebellum is only marginally involved in social cognition and emotionality, with a few meta-analyses pointing to an involvement of at most 54% of the individual studies. In this study, novel meta-analyses of over 350 fMRI studies, dividing up ...

aim and background: meta-cognitive therapy is based on the principle that meta-cognitive is very important for understanding the way of cognition function and the way of producing our conscious experience about ourselves and the world around us. in this research it has been tried to study the effectiveness of this kind of treatment in improving depression patients. methods and materials: this c...
