Computer architecture and mental models
SIGCSE Bulletin, 2005The EasyCPU visualization environment was developed for teaching computer architecture to novice students of computer science. During the development, the process of choosing the appropriate conceptual model of the computer for the visualization motivated research on the mental models that arise in the students as ...

Modularity and mental architecture
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2013Debates about the modularity of cognitive architecture have been ongoing for at least the past three decades, since the publication of Fodor's landmark bookThe Modularity of Mind. According to Fodor, modularity is essentially tied to informational encapsulation, and as such is only found in the relatively low‐level cognitive systems responsible for ...

A THEORY OF DEVELOPMENTAL MENTAL ARCHITECTURE AND THE DAV ARCHITECTURE DESIGN
International Journal of Humanoid Robotics, 2005The software architecture of a developmental robot is a challenging new research subject. This paper presents a theory of developmental mental architecture. Five architecture types, from the simplest Type-1 (observation-driven Markov decision process) to Type-5 (DOSASE MDP), are introduced.

The Architecture of the Mental Lexicon
1998The original subject of studying the mental lexicon is the subjective representation of word meanings. Just as words are allocated their meanings in the lexicon in linguistics, words were allocated a mental representation in the psychology of the 1970’s. However, this position could not be maintained.

Mental disorders within a cognitive architecture
The 2011 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2011This paper explores how mental disorders of certain types might be explained based on mechanisms and processes of human motivation (including drives and goals) and action selection (as well as other related mechanisms and processes), within a generic, comprehensive computational cognitive architecture model. Several simulation tests have been conducted

Toward a New Architecture for Global Mental Health
Focus, 2014Current efforts in global mental health (GMH) aim to address the inequities in mental health between low-income and high-income countries, as well as vulnerable populations within wealthy nations (e.g., indigenous peoples, refugees, urban poor). The main strategies promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other allies have been focused on ...

Architecture for mental health
Medical HumanitiesThe present study aims at establishing if anything has been learnt from 140 years of modern architecture when it comes to designing for inpatient mental health and to identifying how architecture can contribute to the development of low stress psychiatric units. Creative architects have generally rejected the ‘classical language’ of architecture.

Architecture for the Mentally Impaired Elderly
Environment and Behavior, 1984A model for the postoccupancy evaluation (POE) is suggested. Most actual POE fall short of the ideal. An example of a POE is presented of an environment designed for severely impaired, elderly residents of nursing homes. Because residents themselves could not be interviewed, evaluation was based primarily on the direct observation of resident behavior ...
