Critical thinking, essential in contemporary education, has been the subject of research, which has focused on the creation of pedagogical strategies to promote and strengthen this skill in students. This study focused on designing an Intelligent ...

This study investigates student interaction and engagement in Twitter-supported collaborative learning, focusing on cognitive and socio-emotional processes, their evolution, and their impact on knowledge construction and group project outcomes ...

Despite recent advancements in monitoring brain activity, causal relationships within the brain during responsibility identification in construction contracts remain unexplored. We aimed to understand the neural mechanisms involved in the ...

• This study used cognitive psychology to explore how the brain regions work together.
• For responsibility identification, the most essential information-exchange source is in the brain's parieto-occipital area.
• Left parieto-occipital ...

Social annotation plays a crucial role in nurturing and sustaining a collaborative reading community, offering the potential to enhance students’ motivation and performance within socially supportive learning environments. Nonetheless, research on ...

People with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) suffer from recurring unwanted thoughts (called obsessions) that drive them to do certain actions repetitively (called compulsions). People with OCD feels stuck in a stressful cycle of obsessions and ...

Relevance is a key topic in Information Retrieval (IR). It indicates how well the information retrieved by the search engine meets the user’s information need (IN). Despite research advances in the past decades, the use of brain imaging techniques ...

The educational process increasingly shifts towards the use of digital technologies every year. The change refers to all forms of education, namely primary, secondary, and higher. Hence, the possibility of interaction between higher and primary ...

Recent research on the processing effects of mobile media has incorporated offline research methods to demonstrate that reading on mobile media is as effective as reading on computers or paper in accuracy of text comprehension. The ...

• Using eye-tracking to examine effects of mobile media on L2 text processing in comparison to traditional media.

How humans reason in general about syllogisms is, despite a century of research and many proposed cognitive theories, still an unanswered question. It is even more difficult, however, to answer how an individual human reasons. The goal of this ...

Which position do you mean by “to the right of” an object? Starting within a few months after birth, humans use deixis like “to the right of” in different ways in everyday situations—nonverbal deixis such as pointing gestures, and later verbal ...

The aim of this paper is to review research on the cognitive processes involved in closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance, and make recommendations for further research and for practitioners. CCTV provides a socially relevant context for visual ...

• Non-native spoken-word recognition is harder than native spoken-word recognition.

There is ample evidence that recognising words in a non-native language is more difficult than in a native language, even for those with a high proficiency in the non-native language involved, and particularly in the presence of ...

Electroencephalography (EEG) has been used as a promising tool for investigation of brain activity during cognitive processes. The aim of this study is to reveal whether EEG signals can be used for classifying cognitive processes: arithmetic tasks and ...

Human operators will increasingly team with autonomous systems in military and security settings, for example, evaluation and analysis of threats. Determining whether humans are threatening is a particular challenge to which future autonomous ...

Any knowledge generation process involves raw data comprehension, evaluation and inferential reasoning. These practices, common to different disciplines, are known as data analysis, and represent the most important set of activities in ...

This symposium will focus on developmental aspects of executive functions, and how technology may contribute to the enhancement of these essential cognitive skills over the lifespan. Speakers will address the development of executive functions in ...

The present study investigated the effects of a visual aid (i.e., hierarchical outline) on students' multimedia learning. We expected the presence of this aid to improve students' learning from a multimedia document, by making the relevant information ...

The ease with which individuals can access information has changed drastically with the advent of the Internet. Understanding how this change in our information landscape influences thinking represents an important question for psychological science. ...

There is an agreement that perceived usability is important beyond actual effectiveness of software systems. Perceived usability is often obtained by self-reports provided after system use. Aiming to improve summative usability testing, we propose a ...

For creativity to be computed, it is paramount to understand the cognitive processes involved, which have been elucidated by either surveying creative people or discovering regions of the human brain that activate during creative endeavors. From this ...
