One of the long-standing challenges in Artificial Intelligence for goal-directed behavior is to build a single agent which can solve multiple tasks. Recent progress in multi-task learning for learning behavior in many goal-directed sequential tasks has been in the form of distillation based learning wherein a single student network learns from multiple task-specific teacher networks by mimickin...

One current challenge in cognitive training is to create a training regime that benefits multiple cognitive domains, including episodic memory, without relying on a large battery of tasks, which can be time-consuming and difficult to learn. By giving careful consideration to the neural correlates underlying episodic and working memory, we devised a computerized working memory training task in w...

AI is at an impasse. It is stuck, or downsizing. Unable to build large, ambitious systems because no means to manage complexity. Now people manage complexity, but a large AI must do it itself. An AI must be able to tell for itself when it is right and when it is wrong. Experience is the route to this... Experience should be at the center of AI. It is what AI is about. It is the data of AI, yet ...

The purpose of this study was to determine nursing students' leadership and emotional intelligence. The study was conducted as a descriptive study in a nursing school in 2008. The sample comprised 69 junior and 85 senior nursing students and was based on voluntary participation. Data were collected through a data sheet, a leadership style questionnaire, and the Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Quo...

Following innovations in intelligence and its radical changes from a unitary concept (IQ) to a multi-dimensional conceptualization, i.e. multiple intelligences and the need to design classroom activities based on the L2 learners’ cognitive styles, this study examined the impact of linguistic intelligence and emotional intelligence on the reading comprehension ability of the Iranian EFL learners...

This study is an attempt to extend our current knowledge by exploring the relationship between spiritual intelligence (SI) and multiple intelligences (MI) on one hand and the relationship between spiritual intelligence and language learning strategies (LLS) on the other hand among 30 MA TEFL learners of a state university in Tehran. To this end, King's Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Invento...

This paper reports an empirical exploration of how different configurations of collaboration technology affect peoples’ ability to construct and maintain common ground while conducting collaborative intelligence analysis work. Prior studies of collaboration technology have typically focused on simpler conversational tasks, or ones that involve physical manipulation, rather than the complex sens...

We are often asked whether some apes are smarter than others. Here we used two individual-based datasets on cognitive abilities to answer this question and to elucidate the structure of individual differences. We identified some individuals who consistently scored well across multiple tasks, and even one individual who could be classified as exceptional when compared with her conspecifics. Howe...

Background: Gardner’s multiple intelligences (MI) theory offers great opportunities to improve the diverse abilities potential in disabled learners. The current study investigated effect of MI teaching approach on physically learners’ and ego resiliency. Methods: purposive sample included male female participants aged 14 30 years at Arseye-Talash Institute Urmia, West Azerbaijan for students wi...
