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...

This work is about the central role of “expectations” in mental life and in purposive action. We will present a cognitive anatomy of expectations, their reduction in terms of more elementary ingredients: beliefs and goals. Moreover, those ingredients will be considered in their ‘quantitative’ dimension: the value of the Goal, the strength of the Beliefs. We will base several predictions on this...

Patients with delirium (acute confusional state) show extensive cognitive deficits. These deficits have typically been measured using tests of fluid cognition, which involve the active processing of mental representations. However, the effects of delirium on stored, crystallized dimensions of cognition, such as well-learnt word pronunciation knowledge, are not known. In this study 37 patients (...

I propose that the notion of cognitive state be broadened from the current predicate-symbolic, Language-of-Thought framework to a multi-modal one, where perception and kinesthetic modalities participate in thinking. In contrast to the roles assigned to perception and motor activities as modules external to central cognition in the currently dominant theories in AI and Cognitive Science, in the ...
