Information is key to command and control. Yet information alone is not enough; information is neither the problem nor the solution when it comes to issues of command and control. Use of information is essential. That which is commonly called “information” generically exists in many forms, with each form having temporal implications. Furthermore, with so much information readily available and i...

A cognitive model which includes qualitative and quantitative information processing was derived in this paper. Process safety analysis which including qualitative fault event identification, relative frequencies and event probability function as well as consequence analysis was provided. As a case study, the successful application of cognitive modeling is made to process reliability analysis. ...

In conference interpretation research, anticipation is usually seen as the oral production of a particular part of a message in special circumstances. In psychophysiological research, however, anticipation is a mental process. The article presents a revised defmition of anticipation that takes account of both approaches. It does so in terms of delibérate enrichment, a conceptual tool from relev...

Several recent prospective studies have demonstrated the existence of a preclinical stage of dementia, identifiable by neuropsychological assessment showing impairments with a great variety of cognitive tests. However, test scores are often colinear, largely because common cognitive components are involved in different tests; in spite of an apparent heterogeneity, it is still possible that a co...

Decision making is one of the basic cognitive processes of human behaviors by which a preferred option or a course of actions is chosen from among a set of alternatives based on certain criteria. Decision theories are widely applied in many disciplines encompassing cognitive informatics, computer science, management science, economics, sociology, psychology, political science, and statistics. A...

Although (business) process models are frequently used to promote human understanding of processes, practice shows that understanding complex models soon reach cognitive limits. The aim of this paper is to investigate the cognitive difficulty of understanding different relations between model elements. To allow for empirical assessment of this research question we systematically constructed mod...

In this paper, we propose Cognitive Process-Based Research Support System (CPBRSS) to be a practical investigation for Web based Information Retrieval Support System (WIRSS). With the philosophy of making a balance between automation and human problem solving, the strategy of integrating Web Intelligence (WI for short) and human decision making drives the full process of scientific research in ...

background: considering the assumptions of cognitive load theory and using its reduction and optimization strategies in the design and development of instructional content is one of the main requirements for achieving effective learning. this study examined the effectiveness of instructional multimedia based on reducing the extraneous cognitive load in english language learning among nursing st...

objectives: the role of cognitive process for postural control was shown in dual task studies. however, there was no definite evidence how verbal instructions influence the allocation of attention to postural control. this study determined whether young and elderly adult are able to deliberately control the resource allocation when performing a sensorimotor and cognitive task simultaneously and...
