The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the three main executive functions (i.e., inhibition, working memory, and flexibility) and three steps of social information processing model (SIP; Crick & Dodge, 1994). Participants were 42 young people (13 years old 5 months, SD = 28 months) with mild level of intellectual…

Social identities impact the way individuals see themselves and their career options but career theories have been slow to the call in exploring how social identities interface with theoretical assumptions. The purpose of this study was to examine how social identities affect and inform specific dimensions identified by cognitive information…

The main objective of this paper is the conceptual design of a computational AI system that emulates human creativity.

As a result, eleven neurocognitive factors have been identified on which the tremendous creative capacity of the human…

Why the brain is the most incredible network of information processing and interpretation in the body as we learn things is the scope of the Cognitive Learning Theories. When we use the word "learning", we usually mean "to think using the brain". Therefore, the basic concept of learning is the main viewpoint in the Cognitive…

The processing-speedtheory and the prefrontal-executivetheory are competing theories of cognitive aging. Here we used a theoretically and methodologically-driven framework to investigate the relationships among measures classically used to assess these two theoretical constructs. Twenty-eight young adults (18-32 years) and 39 healthy older adults…

Though the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires secondary students with Asperger's syndrome (AS) to take high-stakes mathematical tests, many students with AS exhibit weaknesses in mathematical and executive functioning skills. The purpose of this mixed-methods case study was to explore the use of differentiated mathematical strategies with…
