in view of native/nonnative language teacher dichotomy, different characteristics have been assigned to these 2 groups. the dichotomy has been the source of different actions and measures to clarify the positive and negative points of being (non)native teachers. in recent years, many researchers have revisited this dichotomy. the challenge to the dichotomy can be a source of motivation to explo...

Textbooks are considered as the common features of the classrooms and are important means to make contributions to curricula. Therefore, their contents are very essential to develop the adequate curriculum planning. A textbook analysis is a means by which different features of the textbooks can be analyzed and hence their effectiveness is validated. This study set out to evaluate the content of...

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...

The model RecMap for high-level vision, based on the DUAL architecture, is founded on the assumption that analogy-making lies at the core of human cognition. According to the model, vision is a constructive process of continuous generation and verification of hypotheses. However, the same principle can be applied to the domain of social cognition to account for various observed effects such as ...

in this research, the viewpoint of mīzā mahdī iṣfahānī, as the founder of tafkīk school (separatism), concerning the most important epistemological issues like the quiddity of cognition (or episteme), types of cognition, truth, and justification of knowledge (ma‘rifa) are studied. given the fact that epistemology has not been regarded as an independent science in the muslim world, but the musli...

What is the relation between spatial language and spatial cognition? Is the way we talk about space based on our non-linguistic spatial representations? Presently, there are at least two major hypotheses about the nature of this relation. On the one hand, there is a cognitive hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, spatial language is grounded on spatial cognition. Our non-linguistic spatial ...

This chapter 1 investigates the relation between the two key aspects of intelligent agents: intelligence and agent-hood. EEorts for building general architectures for intelligent agents have typically focussed on one of these aspects. The chapter rst reviews some work on cognitive architectures for intelligence and illustrates how these are being applied to physical agents. Secondly, this chapt...
