Cognitive Control: Theory and Application

Anxiety and cognitive performance: attentional control theory.

Attentional control theory is an approach to anxiety and cognition representing a major development of Eysenck and Calvo's (1992) processing efficiency theory. It is assumed that anxiety impairs efficient functioning of the goal-directed attentional system and increases the extent to which processing is influenced by the stimulus-driven attentional system. In addition to decreasing attentional ...

Application of Stochastic Optimal Control, Game Theory and Information Fusion for Cyber Defense Modelling

The present paper addresses an effective cyber defense model by applying information fusion based game theoretical approaches‎. ‎In the present paper, we are trying to improve previous models by applying stochastic optimal control and robust optimization techniques‎. ‎Jump processes are applied to model different and complex situations in cyber games‎. ‎Applying jump processes we propose some m...

Optimality Of Monetary And Fiscal Policies In Iran: An Application Of The Stochastic Optimal Control Theory

An information theory account of cognitive control

Our ability to efficiently process information and generate appropriate responses depends on the processes collectively called cognitive control. Despite a considerable focus in the literature on the cognitive control of information processing, neural mechanisms underlying control are still unclear, and have not been characterized by considering the quantity of information to be processed. A no...

Neural-symbolic cognitive agents: architecture, theory and application

In real-world applications, the effective integration of learning and reasoning in a cognitive agent model is a difficult task. However, such integration may lead to a better understanding, use and construction of more realistic multiagent models. Existing models are either oversimplified or require too much processing time, which is unsuitable for online learning and reasoning. In particular, ...
