Cognitive Processes Involved in Fluency Tests: A Neuropsychological Investigation

The Role of Neuropsychological Function Tests in Predicting Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly

Background: Various studies have documented age-related changes in cognitive abilities and neural basis. Objectives: To investigate the role of neuropsychological function tests in predicting amnestic mild cognitive impairment in the elderly. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study with a correlational design, the study population included elderly people over 60 years old residing ...

Cognitive Processes Involved in Video Game Identification

Identifying with video game characters is one potentially important process in game enjoyment. Based on a theoretical model of video game identification as transformed self-perception, cognitive processes in video game identification were explored. An experiment with N = 60 male players revealed that increased cognitive accessibility of character-related concepts should be considered as element...

Investigating the Cognitive Processes Involved in Cancer Cell Image Identification

The ability to make timely and accurate decisions is critical for cancer detection in diagnostic pathology. We describe a joint experimental and computational modeling approach for determining the impact of three factors on the identification of peripheral blood blast cells (cancer indicators) versus normal white blood cells in microscopy images of clinical samples: (1) image difficulty, (2) ti...

Cognitive Processes Involved in Solving Information Systems (IS) Design Problems

The author characterizes systems analysis and design as a cognitive problem-solving process and suggests that many implementations fail because Information Systems (IS) designers do not adequately understand the cognitive processes involved. The author explores problem understanding as well as the dynamic relationship between it and plan development and points to areas in which research will no...
