Two major problems in schema integration are to identify correspondences between different conceptual schemas and to verify that the proposed correspondences are consistent with the semantics of the schemas. This problem can only be effectively addressed if the conceptual schema is expressed in a semantically rich modelling formalism. We introduce such a modelling formalism, the distinguishing ...

It is agreed that infants require pre-existing conceptual meanings to learn language, although little is known about what those meanings are. By default they have been assumed to be the sensorimotor schemas described by Piaget. However, sensorimotor schemas are not concepts and are not the right sort of representation for learning language. Recent research shows that along with sensorimotor sch...

We present a formal framework for the combination of schemas. A main problem addressed is that of determining when two schemas can be meaningfully integrated. Another problem is how to merge two schemas into an integrated schema that has the same information capacity as the original ones, i.e., that the resulting schema can represent as much information as the original schemas. We show that bot...

The main purpose of this study was to examine whether adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) demonstrate sets of dysfunctional cognitive beliefs and behavioural tendencies according to Jeffrey Young's schema-focused therapy model. Sets of dysfunctional beliefs (maladaptive schemas) were assessed with the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-S2) in 78 adult ADHD patients ...

objectives: this study intended to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on moderating maladaptive schemas and affective control in students suffering from learning disabilities. methods: this experimental research was conducted using pretest-posttest and a control group. the population included all the female students who  were studying in the koohdasht's middle...

the main purpose of the present study was to investigate the multiple relationships between early maladaptive schemas, parenting styles and coping styles with anxiety. therefore, a sample consisting of 200 students, from islamic azad university of karaj, were selected by multistage cluster sampling method. the research instruments were beck anxiety inventory (1988), short form of young early ma...

objectives: there are some comorbidity between migraine, tension headaches, and some psychological  factors including early maladaptive schemas (emss). this research aimed to identify the emss  associated with migraine and tension headaches.  methods:  the present study was of cross sectional and correlational studies. the measures included  headache disability inventory and young early maladap...

This paper discusses the applicability of schema integration methodology for the integration of XML Schemas for business process modelling. This methodology builds upon the assumption that the integrated schema has to support queries and updates on all underlying local schemas. The heterogeneous schemas of Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) and Petri Net Markup Langu...

Instead of putting too much focus on current approaches to protein secondary structure prediction, the authors will look at the natural instincts of protein secondary structures, and propose a schema representation which are offered for identifying regular patterns among various types of secondary protein structures. The schemas employ genetic algorithms base on a steady-state strategy and two ...

Jean is a model of early cognitive development based loosely on Piaget’s theory of sensori-motor and preoperational thought (Piaget 1954). Like an infant, Jean repeatedly executes schemas, gradually extending its schemas to accommodate new experiences. Jean’s environment is a simulated “playpen” in which Jean and other objects move about and interact. Jean’s cognitive development depends on sev...
