In imagistic domains, such as Medicine, Meteorology and Geology, the tasks are accomplished through intensive use of visual knowledge, offering many challenges to the Computer Science. In this work we focus in an essential task accomplished in many imagistic domains: the visual interpretation task. We call visual interpretation the expert reasoning process that describes a cognitive path that s...

The article substantiates the relevance and necessity of involving junior schoolchildren in research activities. A brief analysis on stated problem has been carried out. interpretation concepts “activity” “research activity” presented. Psychological pedagogical aspects schoolchildren’s activity organization learning process have determined. These are following: taking into account age-specific ...

The present research study aimed to explore covert processes of editing and revision which were involved in writing four different academic text genres (i.e. abstract, conclusion, data commentary, and cover letter) in English language. To this end, six EFL learners with Persian as their mother were recruited to participate in this study. All the participants attended an induction session and ea...

The Decision Model and Notation (DMN) is a standard notation to capture decision logic in business applications in general and business processes in particular. A central construct in DMN is that of a decision table. The increasing use of DMN decision tables to capture critical business knowledge raises the need to support analysis tasks on these tables such as correctness and completeness chec...

Previous research has shown that individuals with DD (developmental dyslexia) demonstrated a left mini neglect on visual line (VL) bisection tasks, which has been commonly referred to as right parietal dysfunction. However, insufficient reading experience characterizes dyslexia and may call into question the validity of this interpretation, since the VL bisection task has been found to be influ...

Deficits in reward and motivation are common symptoms characterizing several psychiatric and neurological disorders. Such deficits may include anhedonia, defined as loss of pleasure, as well as impairments in anticipatory pleasure, reward valuation, motivation/effort, and reward learning. This chapter describes recent advances in the development of behavioral tasks used to assess different aspe...

We propose a two-layered model for computing semantic and conceptual interpretations from dependency structures. Abstract interpretation schemata generate semantic interpretations of `minimal' dependency subgraphs, while production rules whose speci cation is rooted in ontological categories derive a canonical conceptual interpretation from semantic interpretation structures. Con gurational des...
