Background & Aims:The aim of the present study was to use a psychological model to explain the effect of trait anxiety and induced anxiety on individual’s performance in updating function of working memory. This study was also designed to test attentional control theory of Eysenck et al. Methods: Throngh Multistage Cluster sampling method, 330 freshman un...

There has been considerable debate in the literature about the relative merits of information processing versus dynamical approaches to understanding cognitive processes. In this article, we explore the relationship between these two styles of explanation using a model agent evolved to solve a relational categorization task. Specifically, we separately analyze the operation of this agent using ...

This article presents the primitive elements theory of cognitive skills. The central idea is that skills are broken down into primitive information processing elements that move and compare single pieces of information regardless of the specific content of this information. Several of these primitive elements are necessary for even a single step in a task. A learning process therefore combines ...

Pulse oximetry measures the relative concentration of arterial oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin. This paper presents the design of a pulse oximeter, which measures the presence of a third substance, carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO), by unfiltered LEDs at 660 nm, 810 nm, and 940 nm. Background information is given on the theory of pulse oximetry. Theoretical approximations and calculations w...

This paper brings together three streams of research concerning diversity-related performance of groups: team diversity research, complexity science, and the social network perspective. Empirical research in team diversity produces contradictory results about the effects of cognitive diversity on team performance in terms of information processing capabilities. This is why we propose to complem...

Mental imagery is receiving increased attention in consumer behavior theory and research. This article describes imagery, characterizing it as a processing mode in which multisensory information is represented in a gestalt form in working memory and discusses research on the unique effects of imagery at low levels of cognitive elaboration. It specifies researchable propositions for the relation...

Earlier studies have suggested that proficient map readers employ cognitive strategies such as information chunking and schemas to aid information processing. In this paper experienced and non-experienced map readers studied and reproduced firstly a town map and then a topographical map. No group differences were observed for the town map task. When the topographical map was recalled the expert...
