World knowledge influences how we perceive the world. This study shows that this influence is at least partly mediated by declarative memory. Dutch and German participants categorized hues from a yellow-to-orange continuum on stimuli that were prototypically orange or yellow and that were also associated with these color labels. Both groups gave more "yellow" responses if an ambiguous hue occur...

The aim of the study was to validate attack scenes in beach volleyball (BV) for construction a declarative tactical knowledge test (DTKAT) modality. 32 real situations BV game through were assessed Content Validity Coefficient (CVC) criteria language clarity, practical relevance and item representativity, using 1-5 likert scale. results showed that all [image clarity (CVC - 0.98); 0.97); repres...

Understanding the impact of fatigue on human cognition represents an important challenge in applying research in cognitive science to real-world situations. In this study, we explored the cognitive mechanisms responsible for performance decrements in people doing the Walter Reed Serial Addition/Subtraction Task (SAST) periodically during 88 hrs of total sleep deprivation. In our model, performa...

A lot of the human ability to prove hard mathematical theorems can be ascribed to a problem-speciic problem solving know-how. Such knowledge is intrinsically incomplete. In order to prove related problems human mathematicians, however, can go beyond the acquired knowledge by adapting their know-how to new related problems. These two aspects, having rich experience and extending it by need, can ...

The future of machine learning will depend on it being in the hands rest us.

In management theory of the last decades, much importance has been attached to a process-oriented perspective on organizational (re)structuring. Yet to date, organizations still experience difficulties in applying this process-oriented perspective to the design and maintenance information systems. The root of the problem lies with a procedural representation of business processes that contains ...

This paper describes a model that explicitly represents the declarative and behavioral knowledge of a goaldriven agent. The developed declarative and the behavioral models allow an agent to reason about itself, other agents, and the environment. The declarative model specifies data and services (capabilities) assigned to an agent while the behavioral model specifies the execution model of an ag...
