Research in intelligent narrative technologies has recently experienced a significant resurgence. As the field matures, devising principled evaluation methodologies will become increasingly important to ensure continued progress. Because of the complexities of narrative phenomena, as well as the inherent subjectivity of narrative experiences, effectively evaluating intelligent narrative technol...

A widespread assumption in the cognitive sciences that continues to shape theories from low-level perception to high-level reasoning is that cognitive processes are distinct from the representations on which they operate. According to this view, the brain is like a computer in which content (data) is qualitatively separate from process (operations on the data). We will argue that this critical ...

Ergonomics, the use of scientific thinking in the design of products and of working environments, has undergone three major waves of research innovations and applications. The first owed a great deal to Paul Fitts, who was a member of the generation of scientists coming to maturity during World War II. Below I have labeled it with the name Human Performance, which he gave to the basic science t...

Current technologies are useful for improving the productivity and appearance of writing. However, with several notable exceptions, they neither offer qualitative advances over previous tools in helping mature writers express or refine their thoughts, nor help novices develop better writing skills. We propose that writing tools contribute indirectly to writing development (e.g., by encouraging ...

In ancient times, at great effort over the span of many years, people learned to do arithmetic, to read, to write, and to measure reality with rulers and eventually clocks. A person who cannot handle any of these cognitive tools is a very different creature from somebody who can. The changes happening now will be at least as significant, and will occur much faster, probably within a single huma...

Although there have been efforts to integrate Semantic Web technologies and Cognitive Science approaches, they are still relatively isolated. Herein we introduce a new ontology framework supporting representation and reasoning on complex cognitive information using Semantic Web tools. The framework consists of four parts: an event ontology for information about actions and events, an epistemic ...

Searching cognitive predictors of effective professional development need for the HR practice and science cognitive research. This study is directed towards a definition of integration of intellectual abilities as predictors of practical success in different professions. Correlation between the level of psychometric intelligence structures, creativity and implicit learning in different professi...

the appearance of new sciences and conflicts arising from reductionism in domain of science and knowledge, explains the necessity of interdisciplinary studies. some scientists believe the history of interdisciplinary studies is rooted in ancient greece, but in fact interdisciplinary studies started in industrial laboratories, the first center for interdisciplinary studies, about 150 years ago. ...
