Representation of memory for order of mental operations in cognitive tasks.

Recent research shows that people learning a cognitive task acquire a memory for the order of operations applied, independent of the data to which those operations were applied. We designed two experiments to show how this sequence memory is represented. ...

Social cognitive determinants of physical activity in young adults: a prospective structural equation analysis.

This study used a prospective design to test a model of the relation between social cognitive variables and physical activity in a sample of 277 university students. Social support, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and self-regulation were measured ...

Modulation of gamma-band spectral power by cognitive task complexity.

This study evaluated the utility of electroencephalographic (EEG) measures as indices of regional cerebral activation during performance of visuo-semantic analysis tasks in neurologically intact adult volunteers. EEG was recorded from 28 scalp locations ...

Aiding planning in air traffic control: an experimental investigation of the effects of perceptual information integration.

Prior research examined how controllers plan in their traditional environment and identified various information uncertainties as detriments to planning. A planning aid was designed to reduce this uncertainty by perceptually representing important ...

Risk attitude reversals in drivers route choice when range of travel time information is provided.

Automobile drivers were recently found to be risk averse when choosing among routes that had an average travel time shorter than the certain travel time of a route considered as a reference. Conversely, drivers were found to be risk seeking when choosing ...

Why do children learn to say "Broke"? A model of learning the past tense without feedback.

Learning the English past tense is characterized by a U-shaped learning function for the irregular verbs. Existing cognitive models often rely on a sudden increase in vocabulary, a high token-frequency of regular verbs, and complicated schemes of ...
