According to philosophy of mind and neuroscientific models, the sense of agency can be defined as the sense that I am the one that is generating an action and causing its effects. Such ability to sense ourselves as causal agents is critical for the definition of intentional behavior and is a primary root for human interaction skills. The present mini-review aims at discussing evidences from non...

IN A SEMINAL PAPER WRITTEN FIVE DECADES AGO, CRONBACH DISCUSSED THE TWO HIGHLY DISTINCT APPROACHES TO SCIENTIFIC PSYCHOLOGY: experimental and correlational. Today, although these two approaches are fruitfully implemented and embraced across some fields of psychology, this synergy is largely absent from other areas, such as in the study of learning and behavior. Both Tolman and Hull, in a rare c...

Given a complex planner and or environment, it can be di cult to determine why it behaves as it does. Statistical causal modeling techniques allow us to develop models of behavior, but they tend to be limited in what they can model: either continuing, repetitive in uences or causal in uences without cycles, but not both as appear in most planning environments. This paper describes how two stati...

Descriptive studies often represent the first scientific toe in the water in new areas of Inquiry. A fundamental element of descriptive reporting is a clear, specific, and measurable definition of the disease or condition in question. Uke newspapers, good descriptive reporting answers the five basic W questions: who, what, why, when, where ••• and a sixth: so what? Case reports, case-series rep...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the causal relationship of mindfulness and cognitive emotion regulation strategies and mediating role of alexithymia in this relationship. Method: In this descriptive-correlational study, 355 students (192 femalesand 163 males) were recruited from ShahidBahonar university of Kerman through randomclustered ...

This study examined the generality of the logarithmic to linear transition in children's representations of numerical magnitudes and the role of subjective categorization of numbers in the acquisition of more advanced understanding. Experiment 1 (49 girls and 41 boys, ages 5-8 years) suggested parallel transitions from kindergarten to second grade in the representations used to perform number l...

A correlational dialect is introduced within the quantum theory language to give a unified treatment of finite-dimensional informational and operational theories, infinite-dimensional relativistic gravity. Theories are written in terms correlation diagrams which specify types weights. Grouping similar leads generalized Feynman diagrams, special cases reduce familiar from field theories. The for...

Descriptive studies often represent the first scientific toe in the water in new areas of inquiry. A fundamental element of descriptive reporting is a clear, specific, and measurable definition of the disease or condition in question.
