A student, supported by his classmates, throws a piece of chalk at the teacher who is writing on the blackboard. The teacher rapidly turns back and promptly catches him in the act. The student blushes and suddenly realizes how bad it was what he did. What happened to the guy? Why did he decide to throw the piece of chalk? And why, after a few seconds, he would have liked that what he did had ne...

This paper presents a progress development results of Virtual intelligent interface based on human facial and voice recognition. We this is new challenge for sensing the user emotional space and interact with it. It is part of the cognitive spatial design needed to have the mentality of the designer been part of the system recognition. This is experimental built prototype. We think that the pra...

OBJECTIVE The present study was aimed at evaluating the effective radiation dose in patients submitted to PET/CT for the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment. MATERIALS AND METHODS TLD-100 detectors inserted into an Alderson Rando® anthropomorphic phantom were utilized to measure the absorbed dose coming from the CT imaging modality. The anthropomorphic phantoms (male and female adult versi...

This paper presents a critical account of research into the non-motor symptoms associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Although research examining the cognitive and behavioural features of ALS has been extensively report ed, social communication and emotion recognition changes have not been comprehensively explored. Furthermore, the current research and diagnostic criteria for diag...

The goal of this study was to investigate the diagnostic and symptom specificity of a model of GAD that has four main features: intolerance of uncertainty, positive beliefs about worry, poor problem orientation, and cognitive avoidance. The authors compared 17 patients with non-comorbid generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to 28 patients with non-comorbid panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA) and...

Given the important role that meta-cognitive processes play in learning, intelligent tutoring systems should not only provide domain-specific assistance, but should also aim to help students in acquiring meta-cognitive skills. As a step toward this goal, we have constructed a Help Tutor, aimed at improving students’ help-seeking skill. The Help Tutor is based on a cognitive model of students’ d...

Transitivity in trust is very often considered as a quite simple property, trivially inferable from the classical transitivity defined in mathematics, logic, or grammar. In fact the complexity of the trust notion suggests evaluating the relationships with the transitivity in a more adequate way. In this paper, starting from a socio-cognitive model of trust, we analyze the different aspects and ...

There has been an upsurge of research in psychology on the interface between motivation and cognition. Much of this work has focused on elucidating the structure of the motivational system, although this work has also begun to examine the influence of motivation on preference, choice and learning. The growing body of data provides an opportunity for computationally minded researchers to extend ...

In this paper, the author elaborates on the feasibility of a framework that uses fuzzy chain-of-thought structures. The emphasis is on how inference and decision making can be achieved using these cognitive structures. Applications in cognitive diagnosis, such as intelligent tutoring systems and cognitive modeling, are also discussed.

The Lingot project is a multidisciplinary project that aims to support the management of the cognitive diversity of students in school algebra learning. In this paper, we focus on the research approach based on theoretical frameworks from Computer Science, Cognitive Ergonomics and Didactics of Mathematics. We present our research questions and a cognitive diagnosis tool we implemented. We propo...
