Mathematical models of cognitive processes
… the development of mathematical models of some cognitive processes and their validation by means of data present in literature, with a double aim: i) to achieve a better interpretation and explanation of the great amount of data obtained on these processes from different methodologies …

The dynamic cognitive processes underlying creativity
… Advances in research suggest that several core cognitive processes underlie creative thought, such as problem finding, information gathering, incubation, idea generation, evaluation, and implementation. Although multiple studies have investigated these processes individually, few researchers …

The cognitive processes underlying impression change
Two experiments explored the causes and consequences of impression change. Subjects changed their impressions when they preferred an expectancy-inconsistent explanation for an expectancy-deviant event but not when they preferred an expectancy-consistent explanation for it. Subjects had better …

Relationships in Aging, Cognitive Processes, and Contingency Learning
… processing speed, working memory,and associative processes on the acquisition of contingency information. Young and older adults completed positive (+.65) and negative (-.65) contingency tasks that measured their ability to discover the relationship between a symptom (e.g., FEVER) and a fictional …

The Dynamic Cognitive Processes of Second Language Reading Fluency
… the automatization of word recognition sub-processes over time; (d) investigate differences between the reading fluency treatment groups in terms of their word recognition sub-processes; (e) further understand how reading fluency treatments contribute to oral reading fluency; (f) examine …

Cognitive processes associated with creativity : scale development and validation
… evidence from numerous studies involving the cognitive components of creativity training, the Cognitive Processes Associated with Creativity (CPAC) scale was developed to efficiently and directly address the processes of brainstorming, metaphorical and analogical thinking, perspective-taking, …

Psychopathic traits and social-cognitive processes in aggressive youth
… traits and the relationship to social-cognitive processes. Results indicate the callous/unemotional trait significantly predicted empathic concern, perspective taking, cognitive dysregulation, and outcome values in obtaining a tangible reward and getting in trouble or being punished.

Cognitive Processes in Second Language Reading (Orthography, Cognition, Bilingualism)
… first language (L1) orthographic structures on cognitive processing in second language (L2) reading. More specifically, two aspects of L1 orthographic effects were examined: (a) the effects of the basic unit of representation on acoustic coding strategies, and (b) the effects of representational …

Reading in Web-based hypertexts: cognitive processes strategies and reading goals
… have identified the lack of research about the cognitive processes and the strategies that readers use during reading as one of the main factors for such results. As a result, there is a need and scope for further research in modelling the cognitive processes involved in reading comprehension …

Cognitive Processes in Craving: From the Laboratory to the Real World.
… the assumption that craving involves controlled cognitive processes, but do not clearly support or disprove the hypothesis that visual processes are key. Experiment 6 focussed on interfering with naturally occurring cravings in a laboratory setting. Playing the computer game Tetris reduced …

Cognitive Processes Underlying the Learning Advantages of Self-Controlled Feedback Schedules
It is well established that an effective way to schedule knowledge of results (KR) during practice to facilitate motor learning is to allow the learner to control their KR delivery, termed self-controlled KR, rather than imposing the same schedule on the learner without choice, termed yoked KR. The …

Computational techniques to interpret the neural code underlying complex cognitive processes
… elucidate the neural code underlying complex cognitive processes. This thesis aimed to investigate two research questions in rodent models. First, what is the role of the hippocampus in memory and specifically what is the underlying neural code that contributes to spatial memory and …

A model of consumer cognitive processes underlying memory-based brand evaluations
An integrative model of cognitive processes underlying memory-based brand evaluations is developed using recent theories of consumer behavior, social cognition and communication. A key postulate of the model is that consumers' processing goals at the time of encoding and their involvement levels at …

Exploring and monitoring interviewers' cognitive processes of decision making using think aloud method
… systematic literature review that interviewers’ cognitive processes (ICP), which plays a significant role in interviewers’ decision making, is under-investigated. Such a gap has not only limited the understanding of IDM but also constrained the possibility to improve it. To address the gap, this …

An Examination of the Memory-Judgment Relation in a Performance Appraisal Context (Cognitive Processes)
Very little is known about cognitive processes that underlie decisions in organizations. The benefits of a cognitive approach in two of the most important organizational decisions, selection and performance appraisal, are discussed. The current study examines the relation between memory for …
