Multi-domain training potentially increases the likelihood of overlap in processing components with transfer tasks and everyday life, and hence is a promising training approach for older adults. To empirically test this, 84 healthy older adults aged 64 to 75 years were randomly assigned to one of three single-domain training conditions (inhibition, visuomotor function, spatial navigation) or to...

The neuroscience of morality has focused on how morality works and where it is in the brain. In tackling these questions, researchers have taken both domain-specific and domain-general approaches-searching for neural substrates and systems dedicated to moral cognition versus characterizing the contributions of domain-general processes. Where in the brain is morality? On one hand, morality is ma...

Impaired cognitive function is increasingly recognized in COPD. Yet, the prevalence of cognitive impairment in specific cognitive domains in COPD has been poorly studied. The aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to compare the prevalence of domain-specific cognitive impairment between patients with COPD and non-COPD controls. A neuropsychological assessment was administered in 90...

BACKGROUND In most patients, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) represents the clinically evident prodromal phase of dementia. This is most well established in amnestic MCI, which is most commonly a precursor to Alzheimer disease (AD). It follows, however, that subjects with MCI who have impairment in nonmemory domains may progress to non-AD degenerative dementias. OBJECTIVE To investigate patte...

event occurrences in imagistic domains is relevant in several applications in knowledge engineering. In such applications, the order in which events have happened is imprinted in the domain as visual-spatial relations among its elements. Therefore, the interpretation of the relative ordering in which those events have occurred is essential for understanding the domain evolution. We propose a co...

Working memory is often defined in cognitive psychology as a system devoted to the simultaneous processing and maintenance of information. In line with the time-based resource-sharing model of working memory (TBRS; Barrouillet and Camos, 2015; Barrouillet et al., 2004), there is accumulating evidence that, when memory items have to be maintained while performing a concurrent activity, memory pe...

Introduction Due to the increasing complexity and diversity of work tasks in teams, teams need team members who are dedicated energetic, both characteristics attributed members’ engagement. Especially domain health care, high demands at impact professionals’ Despite being main unit this domain, research on antecedents engagement has been neglected. The present study examines role behaviors such...

We present an approach for integrating ontological reasoning and planning within cognitive systems. Patterns and mechanisms that suitably link planning domains and interrelated knowledge in an ontology are devised. In particular, this enables the use of (standard) ontology reasoning for extending a (hierarchical) planning domain. Furthermore, explanations of plans generated by a cognitive syste...

A cross-syndrome comparison between infants with Williams syndrome and those with Down syndrome seems to result in a neat cognitive double dissociation, like in adult neuropsychological patients. However, a more dynamic developmental analysis shows the data to be far more complex and the result of cascading cross-domain effects over ontogenetic time. The atypical brain of children with genetic ...

This paper presents a tutoring system for the ear domain in medical education as an application of the Interactive Simulation based multimedia system (InterSim). The InterSim approach is based on the principles of cognitive apprenticeship. It enables exploration of the subject domain and acquisition of both domain knowledge and skills through multimedia based interactions, especially interactiv...
