Cultural evolution and cognitive science need each other. Cultural evolution needs cognitive science to find out whether the conditions necessary for Darwinian evolution are met in the cultural domain. Cognitive science needs cultural evolution to explain the origins of distinctively human cognitive processes. Focusing on the first question, I argue that cultural evolutionists can get empirical...

Cognitive radio has been introduced by Mitola in 1999 as an extension to software radio [1] (Stevens USA). Cognitive radio extends the software radio with radio-domain model-based reasoning about etiquettes (set of RF bands, air interfaces, protocols, and spatial and temporal patterns that moderate the use of the radio spectrum). Cognitive radio enhances the flexibility of personal services thr...

Background This study aimed to investigate the levels of unmet needs for home and community-based services (HCBS) evaluated by case managers (CMs) among disabled patients on hemodialysis (DPHD) and to examine factors related to unmet needs. Unmet needs for HCBS were defined as situations in which patients do not use or underuse HCBS despite needing them. Candidates for the factors relating to u...

The translation process is regarded as a complex cognitive process and one of the core topics in cognitive translatology. Unlike how machine translation post-editing works, which only needs a machine translation result, we divide the translation process into several cognitive subtasks and use the technology in MT to help the implementation of each subtask. We aim to make each subtask completed ...

To understand how complex, or 'advanced' various forms of cognition are, and to compare them between species for evolutionary studies, we need to understand the diversity of neural-computational mechanisms that may be involved, and to identify the genetic changes that are necessary to mediate changes in cognitive functions. The same overt cognitive capacity might be mediated by entirely differe...
