objectives: new cognitive theories of delusions have proposed that deficit or bias in inference stage (a stage of normal belief formation) is significant in delusion formation. the aim of this study was predicting the severity of delusions based on jumping-to-conclusion bias in patients with schizophrenia. methods: the sample consisted of 60 deluded patients with schizophrenia who were selected...

all the people sometimes in their life become anxious in social situations. social phobia is exaggerated form of these fears. social phobic patients are afraid of being seen. they scared of act somehow that being contemptional or shameful.researchers have found four type of cognitive bias in anxious individuals: attention bias, memory bias, judgment (reasoning) and interpretation bias.one kind ...

Modeling human conditional reasoning of the type “if p then q” containing negations poses a challenge for connectionism. An integrate-and-fire pulsed network (INFERNET) was used to model this type of conditional reasoning. This model also provides an insight on certain human limitations. The model is compared to empirical data, and classical explanations. Statistical analysis shows that the mod...

This book presents the achievements in research of a special underactuated system called mobile wheeled inverted pendulum (MWIP) over recent years. Taking dynamic modeling, control, and simulation as mainline, this first introduces particularity, control challenges, applications MWIP system. The Lagrange function is adopted to model dynamics two-dimensional three-dimensional systems. Based on d...

Within half a century hospitals for children had become established features of the British medical landscape. By 1900, the formerly entrenched notion that sick children would not prosper away from home had given way to the other extreme. Now, it would seem, children required to be isolated in institutions entirely dedicated to their care. As Roger Cooter has indicated, there was a 'gradual dis...

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> A disturbed sense of self is frequently discussed as an etiological factor for delusion symptoms in psychosis. Phenomenological approaches to psychopathology posit that lacking the localized within one’s bodily boundaries (disembodiment) one core features The present study examines this idea by experimentally manipulating boundaries. <b>...
