These basic capacities have been the subject of intense research in developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, comparative psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind over the last several decades.

Social Computing , Social Cognition , Social Networks and Multiagent Systems

Lately, many multi-agent systems (MAS) are designed as multi-modal systems [9, 15, 23, 22, 26, 28, 18]. Moreover, there are different techniques for combining logics, such as products, fibring, fusion, and modalisation, among others [1, 14, 16]. In this paper we focus on the combination of special-purpose logics for building “on demand” MAS. From these engineering point of view, among the most ...

Social Cognition of Gender and Language

The question, Do men and women use language differently played a central part in the emergence of feminist socio linguistics more than two decades ago, and it casts a long shadow. This paper focuses on the literature that has contributed to the understanding of the major research questions underlying two major strands, language and gender, concentrating on the development of the literature from...

Editorial: Abstract Mathematical Cognition

Mathematical Cognition Despite the importance of mathematics in our educational systems, little is known about how abstract mathematical thinking emerges. Most research on mathematical cognition has been dedicated to understanding its more simple forms such as seriation and counting. Although these forms constitute the foundational plinth upon which all other maths skills develop, the gap betwe...
