One of the hallmarks of human intelligence is its flexibility. While computers have achieved better-than-human performance in various games, such as Chess, Jeopardy, or Go, there is no single algorithm yet that works in all of these cases. Humans, however, can excel at all of these games, and many other tasks. We believe that bridging the gap between human and machine intelligence requires two ...

While not prescribing a JSF FACO approach, the congressional language calling for this study required an examination of alternate FACO strategies. The language focused principally on various factors that would affect the cost at the different potential FACO sites. While cost is a predominant consideration, other issues must be explored as well to ensure an informed decision regarding the sharin...

Over the past two decades, there has been an upsurge in theoretical frameworks alluding to the existence of two different processing systems that supposedly operate according to different rules. This article critically examines the scientific advance offered by these theories (in particular advances in the domains of reasoning, decision making, and social cognition) and questions their theoreti...

Women outperform men in face recognition and are especially good at recognizing other females’ faces. This may be caused by a larger female interest in faces. The aims of this study were to investigate if women were more interested in female faces and if depth of friendship was related to face recognition. Forty-one women and 16 men completed two face recognition tasks: one in which the faces s...

The human face stands out as the single most important stimulus that we must recognize in the visual domain. In the auditory domain the human voice is the most important hiological signal. Our faces and voices specify us as uniquely human, and a challenge in neuroand cognitive science has been to understand how we recognize and process these two hiologically relevant signals. In hoth domains th...

Prominent models of face perception posit that the encoding of social categories begins after initial structural encoding has completed. In contrast, we hypothesized that social category encoding may occur simultaneously with structural encoding. While event-related potentials were recorded, participants categorized the sex of sex-typical and sex-atypical faces. Results indicated that the face-...

Facial recognition is key to social interaction, however with unfamiliar faces only generic information, in the form of facial stereotypes such as gender and age is available. Therefore is generic information more prominent in unfamiliar versus familiar face processing? In order to address the question we tapped into two relatively disparate stages of face processing. At the early stages of enc...

during last century and in a period of time called modern history of middle east, we have seen different changes in life of urban communities as whole, and urban and rural of the mentioned region in particular. the range and power of such changes has been in such a level that we can claim: it has changed the “life world” of people noticeably. among all parts of the region our field study (iran’...
