Cognitive control theory suggests conflict effects are reduced following high- relative to low-conflict trials. Such reactive adjustments in control, frequently termed "conflict adaptation effects," indicate a dynamic interplay between regulative and evaluative components of cognitive control necessary for adaptable goal-directed behavior. The current study examined conflict adaptation effects ...

in this paper we analyzed some of the phonological rules of russian loanword adaptation in persian, on the view of optimal theory (ot) (prince and smolensky, 1993, 2003). it is the first study of phonological process on russian loanwords adaptation in persian. by gathering about 50 current russian loanwords, we selected some of them to analyze. we found out that vowel insertion, vowel prothesis...

The current study draws on motivated information processing in groups theory to propose that leadership functions and composition characteristics provide teams with the epistemic and social motivation needed for collective information processing and strategy adaptation. Three-person teams performed a city management decision-making simulation (N=74 teams; 222 individuals). Teams first managed a...

From the cognitive theory perspective that emotions are cognition dependent and contain cognitive components, Ortony and Turner (1990) questioned the validity of the concept of basic emotions. They argued that the so-called basic emotions were neither psychologically or biologically "primitive" nor "irreducible building blocks" for generating the "great variety of emotional experiences." In the...

A general target of human cognition is to prevent or adapt to its own conflicts in information processing. Research on this issue employs conflict paradigms (e.g., Stroop task) in which salient taskirrelevant features either help (congruent trials) or hinder (incongruent trials) task-relevant processing. An important exercise within this domain is to obtain a clear understanding of the concept ...

Humans are social agents and the social dimension is an important aspect of human cognition. One challenge facing the realization of artifacts and artificial agents that posses humanlike cognition abilities is to implement human-like interactive capabilities into them. Natural Language Processing is one of the earliest applications of AI techniques because of the importance of language in shapi...

Objective: This study aimed to assess deficits of cognitive and emotional aspects of theory of mind in patients with bipolar disorder type 1 within a remission period. Methods: In this case- control study, 30 bipolar patients and 30 normal individuals were selected through Purposive sampling method for the purpose of the study. Then, they were matched based on their educational ...

Reacting against the inadequacy of traditional cognitive theory to explain how learning occurs, many educational researchers have turned to a socio-cultural, situated model of learning within which to conduct their research. However, this model has, in its turn, failed to account for some of what is observed when students work with complex, computersupported simulations of natural environments,...
