The main purpose of this study was to examine whether adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) demonstrate sets of dysfunctional cognitive beliefs and behavioural tendencies according to Jeffrey Young's schema-focused therapy model. Sets of dysfunctional beliefs (maladaptive schemas) were assessed with the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-S2) in 78 adult ADHD patients ...

Threshold concepts are conceived as cognitive portals to new and previously inaccessible ways of thinking in a domain. They are transformative, integrative, irreversible, and troublesome concepts that open the door to highly productive ways of thinking in a discipline. Mastering threshold concepts in chemistry demands the construction of diverse cognitive elements, including implicit schemas th...

Jean is a model of early cognitive development based loosely on Piaget’s theory of sensori-motor and pre-operational thought. Like an infant, Jean repeatedly executes schemas, gradually transferring them to new situations and extending them as necessary to accommodate new experiences. We model this process of accommodation with the Experimental State Splitting (ESS) algorithm. ESS learns elemen...

Commonsense knowledge is a broad and challenging area of research which investigates our understanding the world as well human assumptions about reality. Deriving directly from subjective perception external world, it intrinsically intertwined with embodied cognition. reasoning linked to sense-making, pattern recognition framing abilities. This work presents new resource that formalizes cogniti...

This paper introduces ISL, a language for representing and manipulating image schemas. ISL supports the representation of symbolic as well as quantitative dynamic properties of objects and relationships. We have encoded a number of the image schemas commonly covered in the cognitive linguistics literature and tested them in three domains: patterns in chess, tactics in military scenarios, and be...

Several decades of cognitive science research suggest that there are powerful primary schemas underlying much of human language and thought. These schemas arise from embodied interaction with the natural world in a socio-cultural setting and are extended via conceptual metaphor to structure the acquisition and use of complex concepts. Specifically, the structure of abstract actions is character...
