This paper uses cognitive fit theory to analyze the problem solving process in spreadsheet analyses. Cognitive fit theory proposes the formation of mental representation as a part of the problem solving process. However, there is little research examining mental representation, which is a key concept in cognitive fit theory. This study examines the formation of mental representation and propose...

Background: To assess outcomes of health services, providers need brief, responsive, reliable, and valid measures that can be implemented in clinical settings with minimal cost and burden. The Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale (BASIS-32) is a selfreport measure developed in 1984 to assess mental health treatment outcomes. During the past 3 years, multiple methods were used to revise the...

We describe cognitive experiments (based on interference of probabilities for mental observables) that could verify quantum-like structure of mental measurements. In principle, such experiments could be performed in psychology, cognitive and social sciences. Recently one of such experiments (described in the previous version of the preprint) based on recognition of images was performed. It conf...

This article presents a general theory of the film spectator from a cognitive perspective. This perspective considers Thagard’s (2000) notion of ‘striving for coherence’ as the most appropriate description of spectators’ mental dispositions toward feature films; it regards Fauconnier & Turner’s (2002) theory of Mental Spaces and Conceptual Blending as the most comprehensive account of human mea...

Recovery is an increasingly important concept in mental health services research and policy-making. However, despite burgeoning interest in the concept, no overarching theoretical or empirical framework has been offered to support its key ideas. Further, it is often unclear how recovery ideas translate into routine practices of mental health programmes and practitioners. In this article, a theo...

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has been widely recognized as an efficacious treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In the last years more insight has been gained regarding the efficacy of EMDR therapy in a broad field of mental disorders beyond PTSD. The cornerstone of EMDR therapy is its unique model of pathogenesis and change: the adaptive informati...

One of the distinctive properties of conscious states is the peculiar selfawareness implicit in them. Two rival accounts of this self-awareness are discussed. According to a Neo-Brentanian account, a mental state M is conscious iff M represents its very own occurrence. According to the Higher-Order Monitoring account, M is merely accompanied by a numerically distinct representation of its occur...
