Music has been used to aid cognitive processing for decades. Recent advances in medical technology have provided empirical evidence of the effects of music on the structure of the brain as well as on the cognitive, affective and motor components of the brain. Since the 1960’s, an increasing number of educators have attempted to maximize the learning process by integrating music in their curricu...

Several factors influence the level of business process model understanding. In this paper, we investigate two personal factors that potentially relate to this level: a reader’s cognitive style and theoretical knowledge on business process (BP) modeling. An experiment with 183 graduate students was conducted to explore their differences in cognitive styles using Cognitive Style Index (CSI) and ...

One view of speech perception is that acoustic signals are transformed into representations for pattern matching to determine linguistic structure. This process can be taken as a statistical pattern-matching problem, assuming realtively stable linguistic categories are characterized by neural representations related to auditory properties of speech that can be compared to speech input. This kin...

The concept of patient empowerment has emerged as a new paradigm that can help improve medical outcomes while lowering costs of treatment by facilitating self-directed behavior change. Patient empowerment has gained even more popularity since the 1990’s, due to the emergent of eHealth and its focus on putting the patient in the centre of the interest. Current literature provides systematic revi...

After visualizing data of various observational experiments on the way in which modelers construct process models, a promising process modeling style (i.e., structured process modeling) was discovered that is expected to cause process model quality to increase. A modeler constructs process models in a structured way if she/he is working on a limited amount of parts of the model simultaneously. ...
