Reflection from reflective surface has been a long-standing problem for object recognition, it brings negative effects on object’s color, texture and structural information. Because of that, it is not a trivial task to recognize the surface structure affected by the reflection, especially when the object is entirely reflective. Most of the time, reflection is considered as noise. In this paper,...

Learning and problem solving are intimately related: problem solving determines the knowledge requirements of the reasoner which learning must fulfill, and learning enables improved problem-solving performance. Different models of problem solving, however, recognize different knowledge needs, and, as a result, set up different learning tasks. Some recent models analyze problem solving in terms ...

OBJECTIVES Reflecting on the self and on others activates specific brain areas and contributes to metacognition and social cognition. The aim of the current study is to investigate brain activation during self- and other-reflection in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). In addition, we examined whether potential abnormal brain activation in BD patients could distinguish BD from patients with s...

To assess the role of reflection in executive function, preschool-age children who perseverated (failed) on a pre-training version of the Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS) were given training with a different version (different stimuli) in which they were provided with corrective feedback and taught to reflect on the conflicting rule representations involved in the task. In Exp. 1, reflection...

BACKGROUND Impaired insight is a common feature in psychosis and an important predictor of variables such as functional outcome, prognosis, and treatment adherence. A cognitive process that may underlie insight in psychosis is self-reflection, or the conscious evaluation of one's traits and characteristics. The current study aims to investigate the neural correlates of self-reflective processin...

A robust version of the output controller design for discrete-time systems is introduced. Instead of a single stable point a stable polytope (or simplex) is preselected in the coefficient space of closed-loop characteristic polynomials. A constructive procedure for generating stable simplexes is given starting from the unit hypercube of reflection coefficients of monic polynomials. This procedu...

In this paper we explore the idea of reflection in the context of scientific exploration. How does an agent reflect upon its behavior in order to enable productive exploration? We outline an abstract cognitive architecture for combining reflection and exploration. To achieve this we present a language for modeling cognition: the Task-Method-Knowledge (TMK) language. We further present a computa...

The purpose of this paper is to gain insight into the effects of practicing short, frequent and structured reflection breaks interspersed with the learning material in a computer-based course. To that end, the study sets up a standardised control trial with 2 groups of secondary-school pupils. The study shows that, while performance is not affected by these embedded “reflection rituals”, they s...

Previous research has demonstrated abstract concepts associated with spatial location (e.g., God in the Heavens) could direct visual attention upward or downward, because thinking about the abstract concepts activates the corresponding vertical perceptual symbols. For self-concept, there are similar metaphors (e.g., "I am above others"). However, whether thinking about the self can induce visua...
