Many researchers use subliminal priming to investigate domain-specific processing mechanisms, which have classically been defined in terms of their autonomy from other cognitive systems. Surprisingly, recent research has demonstrated that nonconsciously elicited cognitive processes are not independent of attention. By extension, these findings have been used to call into question the autonomy o...

BACKGROUND/AIM To investigate the impact of vascular burden (assessed by the number of vascular risk factors and diseases) on the cognition of persons with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). METHODS This study included 145 participants; 68 meeting criteria for amnesic single-domain or multiple-domain MCI and 77 matched controls. Four cognitive domains were assessed: executive function...

The question of domain-specific versus domain-general processing is an ongoing source of inquiry surrounding cognitive control. Using a comparative evolutionary approach, Stout (2010) proposed two components of cognitive control: coordinating hierarchical action plans and social cognition. This article reports additional molecular and experimental evidence supporting a domain-general attentiona...

Cognitive effort measures inferred from eye movement patterns during textural information search have been correlated with subjective task difficulty and objective measures of task effort. Analysis of the same cognitive effort measurements in an independent user study (n=40) of recall-oriented search in the genomics domain reveals strong correlations with self-assessed domain knowledge. A simpl...

Chief aim of Education is to modify the behaviour of the learners for improving the Economical status and social status of the country. Educational development becomes global need to protect the mankind. Three domains such as Cognitive domain, Psychomotor domain, Affective domain are modifying the character of the learners. Equal importance should be given to three domains. If not provided, equ...
