Although intelligence should theoretically evolve to help animals solve specific types of problems posed by the environment, it is unclear which environmental challenges favour enhanced cognition, or how general intelligence evolves along with domain-specific cognitive abilities. The social intelligence hypothesis posits that big brains and great intelligence have evolved to cope with the labil...

To improve cooperation between psychology of thinking and artificial intelligence, it could be useful to elucidate the present theoretical approaches to thinking. The latter have also been affected by cybernetics and computer science (informational approaches, problem space, heuristics computer simulation, frames and scripts). More recently, cognitive psychology has become crystallized, concent...

The paper reminds of the vision behind Intellectics, the discipline of Arti cial Intelligence (AI) and Cognitive Science, and argues that the time has come for attacking fundamental questions with a number of big interdisciplinary and international projects.

conclusions chronic and moderate malnutrition did not influence the cognitive function, the intelligence quotient, and the impulsivity index. background undernutrition is the most common cause of growth retardation in developing countries. we aimed to assess the effect of undernutrition on cognition, intelligence quotient, and impulsivity index of 7-11 year-old children in shiraz, southern iran...

Intelligence tests were originally created with the practical goal of identifying students in need of alternative education (Binet & Simon, 1916). Because intelligence tests were originally devised to predict school grades, the items were intentionally designed to measure a general ability to profit from explicit instruction, concentrate on a task, and engage in intellectual material. Indeed, r...

Attention is a complex mental function of humans in order to capture and serve the basic senses of vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, as well as internal motivations and perceptions. This paper presents a formal model and a cognitive process for rigorously explaining human attentions. Cognitive foundations of attentions and their relationships with consciousness and other perception proc...

Sage provides a scaled world in which real and simulated intelligence analysts work to solve realistic scenarios in innovative task environments. All aspects of Sage are instrumented for data collection and Sage itself is built to facilitate the swapping in and out of prototypes of innovative tools for information search, hypothesis generation, and hypothesis testing. Sage focuses not simply on...

Cognitive Radio plays a major part in communication technology by resolving the shortage of the spectrum through usage of dynamic spectrum access and artificial intelligence characteristics. The element of spectrum sharing in cognitive radio is a fundamental approach in utilising free channels. Cooperatively communicating cognitive radio devices use the common control channel of the cognitive r...

Objectives: This case study highlights the applicability of Dynamic Assessment (DA) in exploring the cognitive development and intellectual functioning of a schizophrenic foreign language learner. Methods: The general analytical framework of study to unmask the changes in the learner’s competence is Microgenesis. Results: Analysis of the findings not only supports the Vygotskian view re...
