ed from and the physicist has resort to measurement and other physical technics. Titchener held to this distinction by point of view all his life (85, pp. 259-268). It was Kiilpe who split Wundt's psychological atom, analyzing sensation into its four inseparable but independently variable attributes: quality, intensity, extensity, and duration (41, pp. 30-38). Titchener later held to this view ...

According to James Lovelock of Gaia hypothesis fame, it takes thirty years for innovative ideas gain acceptance and forty before the heterodox becomes orthodox, all proper correct enshrined in textbooks. Thirty after Stephen Gould’s heretical article on Introspection best part since Morris Holbrook took up his pen, time is right evaluate their ideas. Less a rigorous investigation than an irreve...

The regulation of emotions is an ongoing internal process and often a challenge. Current related neural models concern the intended control of reactions towards external events, mediated by prefrontal cortex regions upon basal emotion processing as in the amygdala. Cognitive strategies to regulate emotions in the context of affective disorders or stress reduction, increasingly applied in clinic...

The ability to empathise relies in part on using one's own affective experience to simulate the affective experience of others. This process is supported by a number of brain areas including the anterior insula (AI), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and the amygdala. Children with conduct problems (CP), and in particular those with high levels of callous-unemoti...

In Malenfant et al. 19], we have described a reeective model for a prototype-based language based on the lookup apply reeective introspection protocol. In this paper, we augment our previous protocol by converting it to handle continuations reiied as rst-class objects. First-class continuations provide much more control over the current computation; during the introspection phase red by message...

Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of an expert is that when given a novel problem to solve in his or her domain of expertise, the expert can solve the problem easily. Novices, on the other hand, are good at dealing with typical problems or "classic" cases, but not novel problems. In people, the evolution from novice to expert happens as a result of being able to introspect and examine the...

This paper concerns the representation of introspective belief and knowledge in multi-agent systems. An introspective agent is an agent that has the ability to refer to itself and reason about its own beliefs. It is well-known that representing introspective beliefs is theoretically very problematic. An agent which is given strong introspective abilities is most likely to have inconsistent beli...
