Self-awareness and self-monitoring of one’s driving behaviour are important higher-order cognitive skills considered in the National Road Safety Action Plan 2007 and 2008 to be integral to best educational practice for novice drivers. They hold a key status in several theoretical models of driver development, and are characteristic of current driver training programs in Scandinavia. They are ga...

A model of alcohol consumption is proposed that is based on the premise that alcohol serves to decrease an individual's level of self-awareness. According to this analysis alcohol interferes with encoding processes fundamental to a state of self-awareness, thereby decreasing the individual's sensitivity to both the selfrelevance of cues regarding appropriate forms of behavior and the self-evalu...

Purpose: We aimed to reveal the association between cognitive social capital and sexual awareness among high school students in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where adolescent premarital sex is considered to be wide-spreading as consequence of socioeconomic changes, in comparison to our previous study in Hanoi, 2012. Methods: We conducted a questionnaire-based survey and a cross sectional study in ...

Persuasive technologies are interactive systems designed to change and shape users’ behaviours towards specific goals. By discussing the case of screen-time management applications, this paper explores how persuasive transform self-awareness self’s cognitive architecture. Drawing on notion tectonoetic awareness, I will illustrate artefacts enable transition from temporal bounded experience char...

(VCE Study Design 2013) NORMAL WAKING CONSCIOUSNESS AND ALTERED STATES OF CONSC...

In the history of artificial intelligence (AI), primary agent focuses have been external environments, outside incentives, and behavioral responses. Internal operation mechanisms (i.e., attending to the self in the same manner as human self-awareness) have never been a concern for AI agent. We propose to address this core AI issue by proposing a novel agent cognitive learning model (ACLM) havin...

Objective self-awareness theory contends that focusing attention on the self initiates an automatic comparison of self to standards. To gain evidence for automatic self–standard comparison processes, two experiments manipulated attention to self with subliminal first-name priming. People completed a computer-based parity task after being instructed that the standard was to be fast or to be accu...

Fatigue is a serious issue for the rail industry, increasing inefficiency and accident risk. The performance of 20 train drivers in a rail simulator was investigated at low, moderate and high fatigue levels. Psychomotor vigilance (PVT), self-rated performance and subjective alertness were also assessed. Alertness, PVT reaction times, extreme speed violations (>25% above the limit) and penalty b...
