The Intelligent Tutoring System(ITS) is a computer based learning system which assists students in their learning process. It has the ability to be adaptable according to the needs of students. In ITS, it is equally important to consider not only the cognitive level of the student but also the emotional state of the student. Psychological researches indicate that emotions have a deep influence ...

Emotional speech recognition is the problem of discriminating speech samples by their emotional content. Our solution to this problem lies on three areas: signal processing, computational linguistics, and statistical learning. At signal processing and computational linguistics levels, identification and extraction of speech features is concerned; proposed in this work is a set of acoustic and l...

This longitudinal field study examined the influence of goal orientation on both negative emotional reactions to performance feedback and subsequent self-set goal level. After completing an initial performance event and receiving negative performance feedback, learning and proving goal orientations had nonsignificant relations with the intensity of negative emotional reactions to feedback. In c...

In this paper, with a new look at emotional controller and modifying its structure; a novel approach to hierarchical control of large-scale systems is introduced. Design of controller is founded on emotional learning and the control system consists of neuro-fuzzy controller, whose weights are updated according to emotional signals. This signal is produced in a block called critic, whose job is ...

3 theoretical approaches to the origin and development o f the infant-mother relationship are reviewed: psychoanalytic theories of object relations, social learning theories of dependency (and attachment), and an ethologically oriented theory o f attachment. "Object relations," "dependency," and "attachment," although overlapping, are seen to differ substantially. Among the concepts in regard t...

This paper describes the research directed at the study of the role of the emotional climate in learning organizations. It becomes increasingly obvious that an emotional climate pervades every level of human interaction inside organizations. Emotionality and rationality coexist in organizational settings. This research examines how an emotional climate arises, how it evolves, how it is maintain...

Robot-assisted rehabilitation systems have shown to be helpful in neuromotor rehabilitation because it is possible to deliver interactive and repeatable sensorimotor exercise and monitor the actual performance continuously. Note that it is also essential to distinguish if subject finds the rehabilitation task difficult or easy, since the difficulty level of a task can yield different emotional ...

BACKGROUND Reflection on experience is an increasingly critical part of professional development and lifelong learning. There is, however, continuing uncertainty about how best to put principle into practice, particularly as regards assessment. This article explores those uncertainties in order to find practical ways of assessing reflection. DISCUSSION We critically review four problems: 1. I...
