Studies of supervised Categorization have demonstrated limited Categorization performance in participants with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), however little research has been conducted regarding unsupervised Categorization in this population. This study explored unsupervised Categorization using two stimulus sets that differed in their difficulty of Categorization according to the simplicity ...

Sets of personality and time-attitude items were administered to psychiatric hospital patients (»= 100), psychiatric patients in a mental hygiene clinic (»=100), and college male (» = 116) and female (»=192) students. The sets were separately factor analyzed in the total sample, and the data factor scored. Substantial relationships were found between personality and timeattitude factor scores w...

In the present paper, I shall argue that disjunctively construed naïve realism about the nature of perceptual experiences succumbs to the empirically inspired causal argument. The causal argument highlights as a first step that local action necessitates the presence of a type-identical common kind of mental state shared by all perceptual experiences.

The main thesis of the book is “knowledge first.” One aspect of this thesis is that knowledge is a basic mental state, a propositional attitude that cannot be explained in terms of belief plus certain other condition...

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are communication systems, which enable users to send commands to computers by using brain activity only; this activity being generally measured by Electroencephalography (EEG). BCIs are generally designed according to a pattern recognition approach, i.e., by extracting features from EEG signals, and by using a classifier to identify the user’s mental state from...

Major demographic, economic and health-behaviour changes have unfolded in Australia during this time. Governments also have increased spending on mental health services and been active in mental healthcare policy-making and im...

Our aim was to develop an accessible education programme which was appropriate to the learning needs of this workforce. A survey of the mental health and well-being training needs and preferred learning methods of practice nurses was undertaken, th...
