Cognitive modeling is the creation of computer-based processes that mimic human problem-solving and task execution using existing cognitive theories. Cognitive modeling remains a labor-intensive and error prone activity with little theoretical and tool support. In this paper, we propose an approach to capturing specifications for cognitive models in an incremental and modular way. We use patter...

Turing’s analysis of computation is a fundamental part of the background of cognitive science. In this paper it is argued that a re-interpretation of Turing’s work is required to underpin theorizing about cognitive architecture. It is claimed that the symbol systems view of the mind, which is the conventional way of understanding how Turing’s work impacts on cognitive science, is deeply flawed....

This paper outlines the reductive modularization and verification of the Descriptive Ontology for Linguistic and Cognitive Engineering (DOLCE). The ontology makes distinctions between enduring and perduring entities which is reflected in the resulting reductive modules, in contrast to previous work done to generate a consistency proof for DOLCE. We present our approach to verify DOLCE with math...

Background: There is a rapid spurt in non-communicable diseases because of some significant changes in nutrition patterns around the globe. Controlling the main risk factors, namely lack of physical activity and smoking, might decrease more than 50% of the deaths and disabilities caused by these factors. This study aimed to investigate the effective factors of healthy food behavior based on the...

A transactional model of intelligence is contrasted with main-effect and interactional models through the examination of perhaps the most important source of biological and social-cultural determinants to intellectual behavior; the family of origin. This examination allows the science of cognition both an understanding of intelligence and the development of intelligence. A method of investigati...

The main question we try to answer in this paper is whether stage-like progression in cognitive development can be explained by transfer of cognitive skill among tasks. We focus on the following question: To what extent does training on one task improve the performance on another task? The tasks are Piaget’s (1959) Balance Scale Task and Number Conservation Task, and a task that we will call th...

Efficient resource allocation is one of the key concerns of implementing cognitive radio networks. Game theory has been extensively used to study the strategic interactions between primary and secondary users for effective resource allocation. The concept of spectrum trading has introduced a new direction for the coexistence of primary and secondary users through economic benefits to primary us...

This article explores the view that computational models of cognition may constitute valid theories of cognition, often in the full sense of the term ‘‘theory”. In this discussion, this article examines various (existent or possible) positions on this issue and argues in favor of the view above. It also connects this issue with a number of other relevant issues, such as the general relationship...

People's experiences // Cognitive processing and psychology. Question 2 Information about how psychologists define schema theory. A comparison. Gender schema theory suggests that young children are influenced by society's and has a master's in counseling psychology and business administration. This article presents an overview of schema theory, a learning theory that explains how prior Tompkins...
