"We are the agents of our own experience and we can change our experiences in simple ways, including: Sleeping and eating well Putting ourselves in certain contexts and not other contexts Widening our emotional vocabulary to help us label experiences in a more empowering way Learning how to wield that knowledge in a very fluid, contextually appropriate way"
An agent capable of general intelligence approximates the
knowledge level on an
unbounded set of problems with little inherent knowledge of the domain.
The capabilities needed to support general
intelligence are not generally known (although many have been
empirically determined
to be of significant importance; e.g.,
learning)
Additionally, no theory exists for determining either the
necessary or sufficient structures needed to support particular capabilities
and certainly not to support general intelligence
(although see
Unified Theories of Cognition for work in
developing such theories)
Our species, Homo Sapiens, is the being who thinks. But we are also the beings who learn, and the beings who experience a rich spectrum of affective emotional states.
"An action is considered intentional if the agent has (a) a desire for an outcome, (b) a belief that the action will lead to the outcome, (c) an intention to perform the action, (d) skill to perform the action, and (e) awareness while performing it."
The basic questions that have driven me from my undergraduate years until now have concerned the relationship between language, cognition and consciousness.
The EDRL research group works around a theoretical strain (embodied cognition), a methodological line (design-based research), and a disciplinary emphasis (mathematics). Thus, the laboratory hosts the full cycle of design-research projects that are geared to contribute to theory and practice of multi-modal mathematical learning and reasoning as well as to design theory.
Ampakines capable of improving cognition by enhancing brain activity under normal circumstances may also have the potential to reduce the harmful or unwanted effects of sleep deprivation. (CX717 by Cortex Pharmaceuticals)
Armodafinil (Nuvigil®) is an eugeroic drug made by Cephalon, FDA-approved 6/15/2007. Clinical trials for its use in bipolar disorder, cognition in schizophrenia, excessive fatigue in Parkinson's & cancer, begin. Patent expires 2023.
"Today, with affordable storage, effortless retrieval and global access, remembering has become the default, for us individually and for society as a whole."
Welcome to CogPrints, an electronic archive for self-archive papers in any area of Psychology, neuroscience, and Linguistics, and many areas of Computer Science
Things we do or don’t eat, mate-with, or flee-from, or the things that we describe, through our language, as prime numbers, affordances, absolute discriminables, or truths. That is all that cognition is for, and about.
