Do the same mechanisms underlie processing of music and language? Recent investigations of this question have yielded inconsistent results. Likely factors contributing to discrepant findings are use of small samples and failure to control for individual differences in cognitive ability. We investigated the relationship between music and speech prosody processing, while controlling for cognitive...

Emotions are an important aspect of human behavior that should be included in cognitive models. Including them in a cognitive architecture is the safest way to ensure consistency, and to get reuse. We demonstrate here how interest, distress, and pleasure, three primary emotions shown by children when problem solving, can be implemented in a specific ACT-R (Anderson & Lebiere, 1998) model. These...

A key aspect of conversation is the interactive exchange of information and the cooperative discourse process that functions to bring about a mutually satisfactory sharing of information. The encountering of new information gives rise to emotional responses as well as on the certainty and degree of cognitive reorientation to the pre-existing knowledge state. In this study we present our results...

The synthesis and mapping of applications to configurable embedded systems is a notoriously complex process. Design-flows typically include tools that have a wide range of parameters which interact in very unpredictable ways, thus creating a large and complex design space. When exploring this space, designers must manage the interfaces between different tools and apply, often manually, a sequen...

Constructing and executing distributed systems that can adapt to their operating context in order to sustain provided services and the service qualities are complex tasks. Managing adaptation of multiple, interacting services is particularly difficult since these services tend to be distributed across the system, interdependent and sometimes tangled with other services. Furthermore, the exponen...

In this paper we report our work on introducing adaptations of the learner model’s presentation in adaptive educational systems, in order to bring a healthy balance between the understanding of Open Learner Models (OLM) and the cognitive load on the student for its interpretation. We believe that enhancing this aspect is useful to empower the learner’s metacognitive processes.

Background: The ability to distinguish similar experiences is a critical aspect of memory. Results: Contextual discrimination involves LTP promoted by calcium-permeable AMPA-type glutamate receptors, Ras-GRF1 and p38 Map kinase. Conclusion: A newly discovered, LTP-supporting, signaling pathway contributes to a key component of memory formation. Significance: Defects in this signaling pathway ma...

The article is focused on using of optimalization tools according to the design stage of production process with aspect to forging in frame of the technological production preparation. The possibilities of information technologies application in the production process complex analyse by means of the database modules and cognitive systems are presented too.

The purpose of this study was to analyze where the dominant abilities prospective teacher students in Teaching and Education Faculty (FKIP) Mathematics Study Program Letting 2019 lie. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach with Library Research method utilizes written information sources that are officially recognized. subjects were active undergraduate (S1) mathematics educatio...

In this paper, we extend the classical BDI architecture for the treatment of social commitments based communication by: (1) linking social commitments and individual intentions, (2) providing a model of the cognitive aspect of communication pragmatics in order to automatize social commitment based communication. In particular, we introduce a general decision-making process leading to attitude c...
