Cognitive linguistics gives the most inclusive, consistent description of how language is organized, used and learned to date. Cognitive linguistics contains a great number of concepts that are useful to second language learners.  If-clauses in English, on the other hand, remain intriguing for foreign language learners to struggle with, due to their intrinsic intricacies. EFL grammar books are ...

This paper describes a cognitively-oriented architecture that facilitates the development of expertise. Based on knowledge about human decision making, it integrates multiple representations, multiple decision-making rationales, and multiple learning methods to support the construction of intelligent systems. A constraint solver implemented within the architecture engineers a problem-solving pa...

This paper describes key issues underlying the design of a tutoring system that brainstorms with students in order to support qualitative problem solving. Cognitively oriented and socially oriented support are enabled by two technologies, namely heuristic-based feedback generation and community-datadriven social recommendation. Formal representations and corresponding automated reasoning proced...

Research on learning has for historical reasons been divided mainly into behaviourally oriented studies performed on animals and more cognitively oriented studies in humans (Anderson, 2000). Accordingly, studies aimed at the presumed neurophysiological basis of learning have either exploited the full range of cognitive-phenomenological approaches in humans while being methodologically confined ...

This paper introduces a perspective accounting for errors that may occur as a result of the human interaction with the three-dimensional (3D) space. Particularly, we are interested in errors that are caused by cognitively crossing the boundary between peripersonal and extrapersonal space. Several behavioural, neurophysiological, and neuropsychological perspectives are reviewed in order to devel...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of Foundational Ontologies, i.e., ontological theories in the philosophical sense to provide real-world semantics and principled modeling guidelines for conceptual domain modeling languages. In this paper, we demonstrate how a philosophically sound and cognitively-oriented ontological theory of objects and moments (property-instances...
