Why are so few women at the top of their profession, whatever the profession is? After all, the data show that progress has been made: men and women make roughly equal starting salaries at similar ranks. So is there a problem? Yes, not one but two.

Abstract This study aims at understanding the conceptual structure of use prepositions ( a ‘at’, para ‘to’, em ‘in’) in complement goal-oriented motion verbs ir ‘go’, vir ‘come’, chegar ‘arrive’) Brazilian Portuguese. Applying corpus-based and profile-based methodology, within Cognitive Grammar framework, this combines multifactorial usage-feature analysis these prepositional constructions with...

In this article we suggest a method of evaluating learner expertise based on assessment of the content of working memory and the extent to which cognitive load has been reduced by knowledge retrieved from long-term memory. The method was tested in an experiment with an elementary algebra tutor using a yoked control design. In the learner-adapted experimental group, instruction was dynamically t...

CBT-treatments emphasize social self-beliefs (schemas) as the core underlying factor for maladaptive self-processing and social anxiety symptoms. However, the need for such beliefs in models of psychopathology has recently been questioned. Specifically, the metacognitive model of psychological disorde...

Elements of the Proposed Approach Building artificial cognitive systems that possess a concept of “self”, as well as cognitive and behavioral abilities of a conscious being is a difficult task, but one with tremendous practical significance and potential. In this work we outline general principles of a new approach to this task and illustrate them with detailed computational analysis based on a...
