Human knowledge is intentional, as opposed to ‘knowledge’ represented by the computer, which is syntactic. The premise of this paper is that nevertheless a process model of cognition can be defined which is isomorphic and analogous to Peirce’s 9-adic classification of signs. An advantage of the relation with the Peircean concepts lies in the model’s potential for the definition of a ‘natural’ r...

The conceptual and pragmatic overlap between business process models and business rules indicates a need to model the two related aspects together. Yet, in practice, many business rules are modeled separately from the processes models they affect. While a considerable amount of research has developed integration methods for process and business rule modeling, whether such integration improves (...

Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the causal modeling of death anxiety in veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder based on cognitive emotion regulation strategies and experiential avoidance with the mediating role of coping self-efficacy. Instrument & Methods: The research method was descriptive and structural equations. The statistical population of the present study...

background: patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (fgids) may use specific coping strategies. we intend to provide a mediating role of the relationship between pain (intensity and acceptance), cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and negative emotions in patients with fgids. materials and methods: participants were 176 inpatients, all experiencing significant fgids symptomatol...

Process model quality has been an area of considerable research efforts. In this context, the correctness-by-construction principle of change patterns offers a promising perspective. However, using change patterns for model creation imposes a more structured way of modeling. While the process of process modeling (PPM) based on change primitives has been investigated, little is known about this ...

This position paper explores the possible contributions to the science of psychology from insights obtained by building and experimenting with cognitive robots. First, the functional modeling characteristic of experimental psychology is discussed. Second, the computational modeling required for cognitive robotics is described, and possible experiments with them are illustrated. Next, we argue t...

Background & Aims: Trichotillomania (TTM) is an unknown disorder and resistant to treatment. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the new metacognitive-cognitive-behavioral model for trichotillomania. Methods: The present study was a description and correlation study. In this study, 635 participants (304 male and 331 female) were selected. The participants completed the Massach...
