Background: The social information processing model is one of the most up-to-date cognitive models in the field of interpersonal interactions. This social-interaction-based model can be successfully used to investigate the reasons for emotional and behavioral problems and prevent them in children and adolescents. Objectives: The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of the ...

BACKGROUND Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are a method used to support prescribing accuracy when deployed within a computerized provider order entry system (CPOE). Divergence from using CDSS is exemplified by high alert override rates. Excessive cognitive load imposed by the CDSS may help to explain such high rates. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to describe the cognitive impa...

This review considers theory and evidence for abnormal information processing in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Cognitive studies have indicated sensitivity in PTSD for traumatic information, more so than general emotional information. These findings were supported by neuroimaging studies that identify increased brain activity during traumatic cognition, especially in affective networks...

The central nervous System is a serial information processor that must serve an organism endowed with multiple needs, and living in an environment that presents unpredictable threats and opportunities. These requirements aie met by 2 mechanisms: (a) goal-terminating mechanisms, permitting goals to be processed serially without any 1 monopolizing the processor, (b) interruption mechanism, having...

BACKGROUND Schizophrenia patients exhibit deficient processing of perceptual and cognitive information. However, it is not well-understood how basic perceptual deficits contribute to higher level cognitive problems in this mental disorder. Perception of biological motion, a motion-based cognitive recognition task, relies on both basic visual motion processing and social cognitive processing, th...

This thesis is concerned with explaining human control and decision making behaviours in an integrated framework. The framework provides a means of explaining human behaviour in terms of adaptation to the constraints imposed by both the task environment and the information processing mechanisms of the mind. Some previous approaches tended to have been polarised between those that have focused o...

adjustments to the instructional milieu to support and enhance learning. The goal of Automated adaptation with user input (1, 2, 3, 4, learner variables (cognitive and noncognitive) and modeling approaches (quantitative and qualitative). 2 Instructional media history, 3 Cognitive load theory, 4 Robert Gagné began to adopt an information-processing-based approach to the design of instruction. PL...

Recently, researchers started using cognitive load in various settings, e.g., educational psychology, cognitive load theory, or human– computer interaction. Cognitive load characterizes a tasks’ demand on the limited information processing capacity of the brain. The widespread adoption of eye–tracking devices led to increased attention for objectively measuring cognitive load via pupil dilation...

In recent years the mainstream framework for human-computer interaction research—information processing cognitive psychology—has come under increasing criticism because of serious problems in applying it in both research and practical design. In a debate within the HCI research community, the capability of information processing psychology has been questioned and new theoretical frameworks cons...

First, we propose a theory of multimedia learning based on the assumptions that humans possess separate systems for processing pictorial and verbal material (dual-channel assumption), each channel is limited in the amount of material that can be processed at one time (limited-capacity assumption), and meaningful learning involves cognitive processing including building connections between picto...
