A Cognitive Approach to Values

Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, 1989
Values, though often involved in the explanation of various and different social phenomena, are among the most fuzzy notions of the social sciences. A cognitive approach seems particularly needed, aiming at describing which type of mental object is a value, and how it is represented in an individual's mind, before analyzing its role in social life ...

Cognitive approaches to emotions

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2014
Cognitive approaches offer clear links between how emotions are thought about in everyday life and how they are investigated psychologically. Cognitive researchers have focused on how emotions are caused when events or other people affect concerns and on how emotions influence processes such as reasoning, memory, and attention.

Transgenic approaches to cognition

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1995
Reverse genetic techniques, including gene 'knockouts' and transgenesis, allow defined mutations to be introduced into the mouse genome. The application of these techniques to neurobiology is beginning to provide a bridge between genes and cognition.

Approaches to cognitive modeling

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2010
This issue of TiCS features two side-by-side opinion articles on two influential approaches to modeling cognition. In the past 30 years, connectionist and dynamical systems approaches have developed models of language, cognition, and development that focus on mechanism and implementation.

Integrating Language and Cognition: A Cognitive Robotics Approach

IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine, 2007
In this paper, we present some recent cognitive robotics studies on language and cognition integration to demonstrate how the language acquired by robotic agents can be directly grounded in action representations. These studies are characterized by the hypothesis that symbols are directly grounded into the agents' own categorical representations, while

Computational approaches to cognition: top-down approaches

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1993
Computational models are useful tools for exploring the nature of human cognitive processes. In particular, connectionist models are providing researchers with new ways of thinking about the basic nature of cognition and its implementation in the brain. They support novel explanations.

The Multimodal Approach to Cognitive Rehabilitation

NeuroRehabilitation, 1994
In the past two decades, researchers and practitioners have developed many procedures to improve cognitive functioning. Most of these procedures attempt to produce a change in a client's cognitive processes. For example, clients may be trained in how to pay attention, perceive, rehearse, remember, or think through a problem.

A cognitive approach to program understanding

[1993] Proceedings Working Conference on Reverse Engineering, 2002
A method of program understanding is presented, based on a cognitive model of programming knowledge, and incorporating the basic concepts, structures, and strategies used by human expert programmers. The approach involves the generation of a high-level description of the program with, as main advantages, the use of abstraction and robustness with ...

Cognitive Approaches

Abstract The cognitive science of religion (CSR) has posed an interesting challenge to the anthropology of religion, and perhaps to social and cultural anthropology in general. Religion had been traditionally seen as a paradigmatic case of cultural formation.
