This paper describes a naturalistic approach to the development of a large-scale, functional, cognitively plausible model of language comprehension, and contrasts the approach with mainstream cognitive modeling and computational linguistic research. An approach to research is described which accepts the theoretical constraints of a cognitive architecture, while replacing the fine-grained empiri...

background lack of control on irritation among prisoners afflicted with ptsd is a common symptom. objectives this research studied the effectiveness of a therapy group with a cognitive behavioral approach to decrease aggressiveness. materials and methods this research was semi-empirical and the research plan was pre-test/post-test with a control group. the statistical community of this research...

The concept of ‘social situatedness’, i.e. the idea that the development of individual intelligence requires a social (and cultural) embedding, has recently received much attention in cognitive science and artificial intelligence research. The work of Lev Vygotsky who put forward this view already in the 1920s has influenced the discussion to some degree, but still remains far from well known. ...

At its most fundamental, cognition as displayed by biological agents (such as humans) may be described as being the manipulation and utilisation of memory. A low-level approach to the associative sensory-motor development of cognition is then appropriate, rather than the more common higher-level functional approach. A novel theoretical framework – the memory-based cognitive framework (MBCF) – i...

background and aim : )co-op( is a client-centered cognitive-based approach that focuses on individual abilities to achieve his/her functional goals. this approach is based on the assumption that cognition plays an important role in acquisition of functional skills, and is used to gain new skills and improve previous skills. the purpose of this paper is to systematically review studies on co-op ...

The authors introduce an ontology for the study of how animals think, as well as a comprehensive model of human and animal cognition utilizing the ontology. The IDA (Intelligent Distribution Agent) model of cognition, a computational and conceptual model derived from a working software agent, is described within the framework of the ontology. The model is built on functional needs of animals, r...

Planning and Perceptual Chunks: Elements of Expertise in Geometry KENNETH R. KOEDINGER AND JOHN R. ANDERSON Carnegie-Mellon UniversiIy We present o new model of skilled performance in geometry proof problem solvtrig called the Diagram Configuration model (DC). While previous models plan proofs in o step.by-step fashion we observed that experts plan at o more abstract level. They focus on the ke...

This paper concerns the evaluation and combination of subjective probability estimates for categorical events. We argue that the appropriate criterion for evaluating individual and combined estimates depends on the type of uncertainty the decision maker seeks to represent, which in turn depends on his or her model of the event space. Decision makers require accurate estimates in the presence of...

The concept of ‘social situatedness’, i.e. the idea that the development of individual intelligence requires a social (and cultural) embedding, has recently received much attention in cognitive science and artificial intelligence research, in particular work on social or epigenetic robotics. The work of Lev Vygotsky who put forward this view already in the 1920s has influenced the discussion to...
