Abstract Considering Systems Thinking (ST) as a cognitive skill can create greater acceptability of and openness to the discipline from practitioners researchers outside operations research management science. Rather than associating ST with frameworks methodologies, help popularize democratize discipline. This paper highlights how conceptual lens Holistic Flexibility deploy without application...

Cognitive development [1] gives rise to the major challenge of skill acquisition, i.e., the learning of a new physical skill for object manipulation. This learning is very difficult because the system designer cannot specify a priori all the necessary robot actions depending on the latest states of objects and environmental conditions. Even slightly different environments or facing new objects ...

This paper presents a functional brain-imaging strategy designed to isolate neural correlates of consciousness in humans. This strategy is based on skill learning. In the example presented (rapidly generating verbs for visually presented nouns), a cognitive skill is examined before and after practice. As shown, there are marked qualitative differences in the neural circuitry supporting performa...
