Watching a speaker in face-to-face communication can influence what the perceiver hears the speaker saying. I tested whether written language would also influence audible speech perception. Observers identified spoken syllables while reading a written syllable. Observers identified what they heard the speaker saying. The two hypotheses are 1) reading a written syllable will have a strong influe...

INTRODUCTION During information presentation, the target audience must construct a mental representation of situations or scenarios conveyed by the verbal content and images contained in the presentation. Cognitive psychologists refer to these representations as situation models (Friedman & Miyake, 2000). During situation model construction , increases in the number of alternative order of even...

This paper describes the goals and emerging results of an ongoing research project in order to solicit input and feedback from the AI for Homeland Security community. The objective is to gain a greater understanding of the performance issues and computational requirements associated with real world AI applications for intelligence analysis and homeland security. These computational requirements...

In sensorimotor activities, learning requires efficient information processing, whether in car driving, sport activities or human-machine interactions. Several factors may affect the efficiency of such processing: they may be extrinsic (i.e., task-related) or intrinsic (i.e., subjects-related). The effects of these factors are intimately related to the structure of human information processing....

The use of cortical field potentials rather than the details of spike trains as the basis for cognitive information processing is proposed. This results in a space of cognitive elements with natural metrics. Sets of spike trains may also be considered to be points in a multidimen-sional metric space. The closeness of sets of spike trains in such a space implies the closeness of points in the re...

This chapter reviews the history and current status of information-processing approaches to cognitive development. Because the approach is so pervasive, it is useful to characterize research in terms of distinctive features, and to organize the features according to whether they are "soft-core" or "hard-core" aspects of the information processing approacn, as follows: Features of soft-core info...

Over the next decade the DoD will be challenged to deploy cognitive information processing systems that will embody learning and reasoning using semantically rich knowledge representations in applications such as autonomous vehicles, intelligence analysts, and electronic surveillance. In addition to the significant computational demands, cognitive applications must deal with uncertainty and ine...

background: the second processing cycle for adding the artificial teeth to heat-polymerized acrylic resin denture bases may result in dimensional changes of the denture bases. the aim of thisstudy was to evaluate the dimensional changes of the heat-polymerized acrylic resin denture bases with one and two-cycle processing methods. materials and methods: a metal edentulous maxillary arch was used...
