Emotional intelligence (EI) is being recognised to be a vital element in many educational institutions today. Tuning into one's feelings and understanding others help to build and strengthen relationships in classrooms. There are some Emotional Intelligence skills most often related to academic success such as assertion, drive, strength, commitment ethic, time management, and stress management....

Defining intelligence as processing allows one to predict intelligence from infancy, discover causes of mental retardation, test the intelligence of people with disabilities, develop culture-fair tests of intelligence, and demonstrate that groups that differ in IQ do not necessarily differ in intelligence. An early estimate of intellectual disability allows a child to qualify quickly for remedi...

Purpose – Context and cultural condition given, cybernetic agency theory enables the anticipation of patterns of behaviour. However, this only occurs under “normal” conditions. Abnormal conditions occur when pathologies develop in the agency, especially within its Piagetian intelligences. An understanding of these pathologies, therefore, constitutes an appreciation of how abnormal behaviour dev...

The concept of ‘social situatedness’, i.e. the idea that the development of individual intelligence requires a social (and cultural) embedding, has recently received much attention in cognitive science and artificial intelligence research, in particular work on social or epigenetic robotics. The work of Lev Vygotsky who put forward this view already in the 1920s has influenced the discussion to...

This paper represents an ex post rethinking of the contribution of artificial intelligence techniques to safety management, based on a long work experience in applying artificial intelligence to several engineering fields, from dam safety to environmental protection, from seismic monitoring to the protection of cultural heritage. The main issue is that developing models for assessing safety is ...

Memetic Theory in Artificial Systems and Societies (METAS) is the first edition of a series of international symposia dedicated to qualitative and quantitative aspects of memetic research as applied to artificial (and natural) systems and societies. This symposium will bring together researcher working at the cutting-edge of memetic theory, cultural algorithms and the transmission of culture-li...

The research-on infant speech has until recentlybeen mainly concerned with technical problems of measurement and with the establishment of normative sequences of speech development for the young child. As a clinical instrument these norms look extremely promising; they offer standardizations obtained from a large number of cases on the basis of which one may measure deviations in a manner simil...

Text Categorization (TC) is the discipline concerned with the construction of automatic text classifiers, i.e. programs capable of assigning to a document one or more among a set of ∗This is an extended version of an invited paper presented by the third author at the Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Cultural Heritage and Digital Libraries, co-located with the 7th Conference of the Italia...

This chapter is an overview of research on emotion in negotiation that integrates cognitive, affective, and cultural aspects of the field. We address the following issues: (1) the effects of mood and emotion on negotiator cognition and performance and the potential of emotion as a negotiation strategy; (2) individual differences in emotional expression and individual traits, such as self-monito...
