With the aim of understanding how different mental or intentional states are processed in the brain, the present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study examined the brain correlates during the ascription of belief intentional states relative to desire intentional states as well as the effect of incongruent relative to congruent intentional states. To this end, sentences containing s...

Items located within an array were presented to alcoholic Korsakoff and nonalcoholic mixed-etiology amnesics and to alcoholic and normal controls. Recognition memory for the locations of items was tested after incidental and intentional encoding. When equated on item recognition, neither Korsakoff amnesics nor alcoholic controls benefited from intentional, relative to incidental, encoding instr...

n the blink of an eye, unconscious bias was visible to me, an Mrican American. A man saw my face as I walked into the store and unconsciously checked his wallet. On the street, a woman catches my eye a halfblock away and moves her purse from the handle of her baby's stroller to her side as she arranges the baby's blanket. In the airport, a man sig­ nals to his wife to move her purse so it is no...

Propositionalism is the view that all intentional states are propositional states, which are states with a propositional content, while objectualism is the view that at least some intentional states are objectual states, which are states with objectual contents, such as objects, properties, and kinds. This chapter argues that there is a distinction between the deep nature of intentional states ...

The ability to understand and predict others' behavior is essential for successful interactions. When making predictions about what other humans will do, we treat them as intentional systems and adopt the intentional stance, i.e., refer to their mental states such as desires and intentions. In the present experiments, we investigated whether the mere belief that the observed agent is an intenti...

OBJECTIVES Self-inflicted intentional injuries are increasing at an alarming rate in the Republic of Korea, yet few reports describe their relationship with alcohol consumption. The aim of this study was to characterise the association of alcohol drinking patterns and self-inflicted intentional injury in Korean emergency departments (EDs) using WHO collaborative study protocol. DESIGN Cross-s...

AIM To describe the pattern of non-intentional farm-related fatalities in Australia for 2003-2006 and examine trends. METHODS Data from the National Coroners Information System were analysed to define all non-intentional farm injury fatalities for the period. RESULTS The incidence of farm fatalities has declined by 44% over the past 20 years from an average of 146 deaths per year to 82 deat...

Requirement engineering is first phase of information system development process. This phase aims to fully observe and define the needs of system and users. In this phase, the defined needs will be formulated into a form that can simplify the analysis process. Requirement engineering approach with intentional perspective is one of argument which is coming to surface in requirement engineering t...

The alternative to be outlined provides a proposal to solve a central problem in research on discourse structure and discourse coherence, namely, as pointed out by many authors, that of the relationship between linguistic and intentional structure, or, in other words, between subject matter and presentational relations (Mann and Thompson 1988) or informational and intentional relations (Moore a...

It is a common notion that we understand ourselves better than we understand other people. It is also apparent why we think this is so. After all, we know much more about ourselves than about others, including our memories, our present intentions, and our future goals. And we care more about ourselves than we care about others, so we are more likely to attend to and interpret our own activities...
