Anagram is a turn-based role-playing game where two players construct words by arranging given letters. A significant aspect of playing the challenge. good challenge comes from an opponent with close ability. In two-player like Anagram, second player can be nonhuman called Non-Playable Character (NPC). balanced more engaging. Therefore, it imperative to insert artificial intelligence (AI) into ...

The article describes selected poetry by the Pomeranian diplomat Jurga Valentin Winther (1578–1623), which can be included in inter–genre category of ‘poesis artificiosa’. works discussed include: anagram, chronogram, acrostic, palindrome, ‘versus concordans’, emblem, labyrinth. poetic repertoire clearly shows that while writing, he readily experimented with form, and his searches innovations s...

We investigated how psychological distance influences goal contagion (the extent to which people automatically adopt another person's goals). On the basis of construal-level theory, we predicted people would be more prone to goal contagion when primed with psychological distance (vs. closeness) because they would construe the other person's behavior in terms of its underlying goal. Alternativel...

Sixty-four subjects were administered two tests of explicit memory (selective recall and recognition) and four tests of implicit memory (identification in a perceptual clarification procedure, word-fragment completion, tachistoscopic identification, and anagram solution). Each test drew on a different subset of a long list of previously displayed words. Although the four implicit memory tests s...

In two experiments, we examined the effects of task interruption on memory for intentions. Participants studied a series of anagrams, of which they solved one-half (Exp. 1) or two-thirds (Exp. 2), whereas the solution of the remaining items was interrupted by the experimenter. Furthermore, four anagrams (prospective cue items) differed from the remaining anagrams in that the third letter of eac...

In the process of problem-solving, a limiting of possible solutions often occurs which causes subjects to prematurely narrow their problem-solving options. This tendency is called problem-solving set. It is possible that there is an underlying neurological mechanism which regulates this process. It has been shown that the frontal lobes playa role in the inhibition of irrelevant information, sug...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to measure changes in cerebral oxy- and deoxy- haemoglobin (delta[HbO2], delta[HHb]) in response to functional activation. It has been previously reported that during functional activation of the motor cortex heart rate increases. The aim of this study was to investigate systemic changes during functional activation of the frontal cortex. The resp...
