Abstract:
Abstract Intersemiotic translation (IT) can be described as a cognitive artefact designed as a predictive, generative, and metasemiotic tool that distributes artistic creativity. Cognitive artefacts have a huge variety of forms and are manipulated in many different ways and domains. As a projective augmented intelligence technique, IT works as a predictive tool, anticipating new, and surprising patterns of semiotic events and processes, keeping under control the emergence of new patterns. At the same time, it works as a generative model, providing new, unexpected, surprising data in the target-system,​​ and affording competing results​ ​which allow the system to generate candidate instances. As a metasemiotic tool, IT creates a metalevel semiotic process, a sign-action which stands for the action of a sign. It creates an ‘experimental laboratory’ for performing semiotic experiments. IT submits semiotic systems to unusual conditions and provides a scenario for observing the emergence of new and surprising semiotic behaviour as a result. We explore these ideas taking advantage of two examples of ITs to theatrical dance: (1) from one-point visual perspective to classical ballet and (2) from John Cage’s protocols of music indeterminacy to Merce Cunningham’s choreographic composition.

Abstract:
Our work addresses the contradiction between the age-related increase in the contribution of cognition for the execution of motor tasks and the age-related decrease in the cognitive component of motor adaptation. We predicted that elderly adults would need more cognitive resources for reaches and would, therefore, not have enough cognitive resources available for adaptation. Rather, we observed that visuospatial abilities could better explain the amount of cognition used by our participants for motor adaptation.

Abstract:
Several studies reported that adaptation to a visuomotor transformation correlates with the performance in cognitive performance tests. However, it is unclear whether there is a causal relationship between sensorimotor adaptation and cognitive performance. The present study examined whether repeated adaptations to double steps and rotated feedback increase cognitive performance assessed by neuropsychological tests in a pre-post design. The participants of the intervention group adapted in 24 sessions their hand movements to visuomotor transformations with increasing size. Pre-post changes were significantly larger in the intervention group than in a control group without training. This result suggests a causal relationship between sensorimotor adaptation training and cognitive performance.

Abstract:
The main topics covered in this paper address the following four issues: 1) Distinction between how adaptation and cognition are viewed with respect to each other, 2) With human cognition viewed as the framework for cognition, the following cognitive processes are identified: the perception-action cycle, memory, attention, intelligence, and language. With language being outside the scope of the paper, detailed accounts of the other four cognitive processes are discussed, 3) Cognitive radar is singled out as an example application of cognitive dynamic systems that “mimics” the visual brain; experimental results on tracking are presented using simulations, which clearly demonstrate the information-processing power of cognition, and 4) Two other example applications of cognitive dynamic systems, namely, cognitive radio and cognitive control, are briefly described.

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to investigate the possibility of applying Bayesian adaptation algorithms to cognitive systems that perceive the Poisson process of external events.The method of research is the use of stochastic description and synthesis of cognitive systems, including the theory of doubly stochastic Poisson processes and the theory of Bayesian adaptation. The formal definition of cognitive systems in the state space in the spirit of similar definitions of the theory of dynamic systems is formulated. The definition has become a methodological basis for the development of models of those sets and transformations that are characteristic of cognitive systems. In particular, to describe the stochastic properties of cognitive systems and the possibility of creating an optimal algorithm, the Bayesian approach recognized in a number of philosophical works is applied.The optimal estimate by the criterion of the minimum standard error is, as is known, a posteriori mathematical expectation of a random estimated value, which is applied in this work. In this case, the well- known difficulty of using Bayesian optimal estimation is the need to set a priori probabilities of a random variable in the system under consideration. An adaptive Bayesian estimation algorithm, also known as the empirical Bayesian approach, is used to overcome this problem. According to the above it is believed that at the entrance of the cognitive system, namely in the unconscious in continuous time there are some events that are modeled by random points. The intensity of the appearance of points is determined by a random variable X, the evaluation of which is the task of the cognitive system as a whole. Up to some time in the field of the unconscious the number of random events accumulate (in mathematical language the classifying sample is formed). At some point, an attempt is made to estimate the value of X, i.e. an attempt to move information from the unconscious area of the cognitive system to the conscious, which is a mental act, an act of learning, etc. From a mathematical point of view, such a model of cognitive functioning is the implementation of an adaptive Bayesian approach, which allows to reduce the influence of a priori distribution of an unknown quantity on its evaluation.The described model of the cognitive system is justified by the fact that the value of X is not only random, but also with an unknown a priori distribution, is not observed directly, and in some way must be evaluated by the cognitive system on the basis of the already existing in the unconscious number of events and the last event on the basis of which.The optimal estimation of the random parameter is used to solve the problem of classification of observations, i.e. the optimal verification of the one-sided hypothesis by the Bayesian criterion.As a result of the undertaken consideration the applicability of the developed formal definition of cognitive system for the formulation of various problems of analysis and synthesis of systems is demonstrated. The advantage of the applied model is the minimum amount of a priori information about the processes occurring in the system. One assumption about the Poisson nature of the events occurring at the input of the system was sufficient.The results of a computational experiment on the adaptive estimation of a random parameter with an unknown a priori distribution are presented.In conclusion it is noted that the further development of the study can be a detailed formulation of the mathematical properties of the elements of the cognitive system mentioned in the definition, formulation, solution and interpretation of new mathematical problems of analysis and synthesis.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the interrelationships among the themes of Taylor's (1983) Cognitive Adaptation Theory for schoolagers with asthma. In addition, the influence of Taylor's (1983) themes on the children's social behavior was also tested. The three themes of Taylor's (1983) theory included A Search for Meaning, Restoration of Self-Esteem, and Gaining a Sense of Self-Mastery. Two components of A Search for Meaning included the Impact of Disease and the Cause of Disease. Relating Behaviors-Cooperating Behaviors was the index of social behavior. Forty-five Caucasian children between the ages of seven and ten years who had a diagnosis of asthma and did not have any mental disability were the convenient sample. Data were collected in the children's homes. Three questionnaires and two interviews were used to measure Taylor's (1983) themes and Relating Behaviors-Cooperating Behaviors. Descriptive statistics were used to answer the research questions and provide additional findings related to the conceptual framework. Two relationships among Taylor's (1983) themes were significant (p ≤ .05). Children who reported greater impact of asthma upon their lives (Impact of Disease) reported lower self-esteem (Restoration of Self-Esteem). Children who reported greater impact of asthma upon their lives (Impact of Disease) also reported a lesser internal locus of control orientation (Gaining a Sense of Self-Mastery). The Cause of Disease was the only concept which correlated significantly with Relating Behaviors-Cooperating Behaviors and thus, influenced this concept. Children who named a cause for their asthma reported more relating and cooperating skills. The Cause of Disease explained 6.5% of the variance for Relating Behaviors-Cooperating Behaviors. Characteristics of the children's asthma condition and their families were significantly related to the themes of Taylor's (1983) theory and Relating Behaviors-Cooperating Behaviors. Developmental differences were found from age group analyses. The classification of the children's responses for the cause of asthma and reliability and validity estimation for the HIIS were also reported. Five potential sources of error which may have affected the findings included design, instrument, subject, investigator, and specification errors. Suggestions for future research with the conceptual framework were discussed.

Abstract:
In this work, we make contributions in three main areas of Cognitive Engine (CE) design for link adaptation. The three areas are CE design, CE training, and the impact of imperfect observations in the operation of the CE. First, we present a CE design for link adaptation and apply it to a system which can adapt its use of multiple antennas in addition to modulation and coding. Our design moves forward the state of the art in several ways while having a simple structure. Specifically, the CE only needs to observe the number of successes and failures associated with each set of channel conditions and communication method. From these two numbers, the CE can derive all of its functionality: estimate confidence intervals, balance exploration vs. exploitation, and utilize prior knowledge such as communication fundamentals. Finally, the CE learns the radio abilities independently of the operation objectives. Thus, if an objective changes, information regarding the radio's abilities is not lost. Second, we provide an overview of CE training, and we analytically estimate the number of trials needed to conclusively find the best performing method in a list of methods sorted by their potential performance. Furthermore, we propose the Robust Training Algorithm (RoTA) for applications where stable performance is of topmost importance. Finally, we test four key training techniques and identify and explain the three main factors that affect performance during training. Third, we assess the impact of the estimation noise on the performance of a CE. Furthermore, we derive the effect of estimation delay, in terms of the correlation between the observed SNR and the true SNR. We evaluate the effect of estimation noise and delay to the operation of the CE individually and jointly. It is found that impairments on learning make the CE more conservative in its choices leading to submaximal performance. It is found that the CE should learn using the impaired observations, if the observations are highly correlated with the actual conditions. Otherwise, it is better for the CE to learn with knowledge of the ideal conditions, if that knowledge is available.

Abstract:
Ce travail interroge le rapport entre la parole et son contexte médiatique d’énonciation. À ces fins, nous avons choisi comme observable l’adaptation en vertu du fait que cette pratique comporte le passage du même contenu d’un média à un autre. Nous avons constitué un corpus contrastif formé du Petit Prince de Saint-Exupéry et de son adaptation théâtrale par Virgil Tanase, choisie parmi d’autres selon des critères de représentativité et pertinence par rapport à notre angle d’attaque linguistique. Afin de traiter ce corpus dans une perspective linguistique, nous avons convoqué des notions et des cadres théoriques issus de la théorie de l’énonciation, la pragmatique et la linguistique cognitive. Des notions sémio-narratologiques ont également été mises à contribution. L’analyse, divisée en trois parties, se focalise d’abord sur les propriétés sémiotiques (schéma actantiel et macroséquence) et linguistiques (point de vue et isotopie) communes au conte et à la mise en scène. Ces caractéristiques assurent l’équivalence entre adapté et adaptation. Ensuite, sont brièvement analysées les propriétés linguistiques qui permettent le passage du média livre au média théâtre (relation hyponymie/hyperonymie des noms communs et dialogues). Enfin, nous nous focalisons sur les marqueurs qui enregistrent le passage d’un média à un autre en termes de traitement cognitif du référent (déictiques, actes de nomination) de la part de l’instance de réception. Les résultats de cette analyse mettent en lumière l’influence du contexte médiatique sur l’acte d’énonciation selon un double cadre théorique : celui d’une perspective élargie de l’énonciation qui prend en compte l’inscription volontaire et autonome de l’allocutaire dans une situation d’énonciation et celui d’une approche symétrique et réaliste dans le traitement de la référence
Our work enquires about the relation between enunciation and media. We chose the adaptation as a case study, since it is a semiotic practice that requires transferring the same content from one media to another. Hence, we built a contrastive corpus based on Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and its theatrical adaptation by Virgil Tanase, which we consider to be the most representative for our linguistic approach. In order to adopt a linguistic perspective, we articulate notions and frameworks from the French theory of enunciation, pragmatics and cognitive linguistics. Notions from a narratology background are also contributive. The corpus analysis is organized in three main sections. The first one states the equivalence between the adapted story and its adaptation through some semiotic (actantial model and model of narrative sequence) and linguistic parameters (point of view and isotopy) shared by the book and the play. The second part briefly points out the features that enable the story to transfer from one media to another (dialogues, lexical choices). The third and final part focuses on verbal marks (deictic expressions, naming) that encode the media change (from the book to the play) and require the audience to perform some cognitive processing to properly understand the theatrical play. Results of this analysis show the influence of media context on enunciation while relating this kind of context to two linguistic frameworks : an extended enunciation theory, in which the addressee is actively taking part in the meaning production, and a reference theory based on a symmetric relationship between word and object in meaning production

Abstract:
L’objectif général de cette thèse est d’étudier l’évolution au cours du vieillissement des processus automatiques et contrôlés, nécessaires à une bonne adaptation cognitive quotidienne. Nous nous intéressons à l’influence de différentes variables cognitives (mémoire de travail, vitesse de traitement et vocabulaire) ainsi qu’aux préférences de routinisation sur l’expression de ce possible effet de l’âge. Des épreuves de fluidités sémantiques simples (Expérience 1) et alternées (Expérience 2 et 3) et des formats simples (Expérience 5a et 6a) et alternés (Expérience 5b et 6b) de la tâche de Hayling ont été réalisés par des adultes jeunes (18-30 ans), âgés (60-74 ans) et très âgés (75 ans et plus). Ces épreuves nous permettent d’étudier le processus automatique à travers la diffusion de l’activation en mémoire sémantique et les processus contrôlés par le biais de l’inhibition et de la flexibilité. L’activité cérébrale associée à l’exécution de fluidités simples et alternées est étudiée chez des participants âgés à l’aide de l’imagerie optique (Expérience 4). Les résultats obtenus sont en faveur d’une réduction avec l’âge de l’efficience des processus contrôlés alors que celle des processus automatiques semble conservée. Des phénomènes de compensation se mettraient en place au cours du vieillissement, s’appuyant sur les processus automatiques et les connaissances accumulées
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the changes in automatic and controlled processes during aging which are necessary for satisfactory daily cognitive adaptation. The focus is the impact of various cognitive variables (i.e., working memory, speed of processing and vocabulary) and preferences for routines on the expression of this possible age effect. Simple (Experiment 1) and alternating fluency tasks (Experiments 2 and 3) as well as a simple (Experiments 5a and 6a) and alternating version of the Hayling task (Experiments 5b and 6b) were administered to young adults (18-30 years old), older adults (60-74 years old) and older-old adults (75 years old and over). These tasks allowed the study of automatic processes through spreading activation in semantic memory and of controlled processes through inhibition and flexibility. The cerebral activity associated with simple and alternating fluency task execution was investigated in elderly adults with near-infrared spectroscopy (Experiment 4). The results suggest a decrease with age in the efficiency of controlled processes whereas the efficiency of automatic processes seems to be preserved. Thus, compensation based on automatic processes and accumulated knowledge may appear during aging

Abstract:
Background: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in its current form might not be applicable in Non Western cultures. Differences between western and non western cultures have been reportedly widely. Psychotherapy was developed in the west and is underpinned by many beliefs and practices which might be specific only to the Western culture. However, in order to modify CBT we need to understand whether the concepts associated with the CBT might cause conflicts among people who receive therapy, the barriers in giving therapy and the views of the patients. This project was carried out mainly in Pakistan to adapt CBT for depression. Aims: To find out if CBT can be successfully adapted in a Non Western culture. Methods: This was a mixed methods Study. The project consisted of two phases. In the first phase a series of studies were carried out, including interviews with psychologists, patients and group discussions with university students about their views regarding concepts underlying therapy. In the second phase a CBT for depression manual was modified using guidelines which were developed on the basis of studies carried out in the first phase. This manual was then tested in a small pilot project using a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) design. Results: We were able to find themes and subthemes, on the basis of studies in first phase of the project, which were used to modify a CBT for depression manual. We developed an adaptation framework on the basis of the identified factors. This framework consisted of three broad themes (name theme) with each subdivided into seven sub themes. The pilot study showed that therapists trained for a short period and under supervision can deliver CBT using a manual. Results of pilot showed that modified CBT is more effective than 'care as usual' in reducing symptoms of depression. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that for CBT to be effective in Non Western cultures, it needs modification. This can be achieved using small scale qualitative studies locally, which explore experience of therapists working in a given culture as well as by exploring the views of patients. Further information can be obtained by talking to the members of that community about concepts underlying CBT. However, these are preliminary findings and further research needs to be done to explore this area further.

Abstract:
Les répercussions développementales de la maltraitance sont largement documentées dans les écrits scientifiques. Sur le plan cognitif, on constate que certains enfants se montrent hypervigilants par rapport aux signaux associés à un danger potentiel, ce qui peut se traduire par une allocation privilégiée de l'attention envers ces stimuli. Un tel biais attentionnel permet de détecter rapidement une menace afin de s'adapter à un milieu de vie adverse. Il peut en contrepartie accaparer inutilement l'attention en contexte sécuritaire. Or, l'état des connaissances demeure limité en ce qui concerne plus spécifiquement la manifestation de ce phénomène au cours de la période juvénile. La présente thèse cherche donc à vérifier si un biais attentionnel envers les stimuli menaçants subsiste auprès d'adolescents ayant vécu la maltraitance. À cet effet, 79 adolescents âgés de 12 à 17 ans sont recrutés dans la région de Québec pour former un groupe de 39 jeunes victimes de maltraitance et un groupe comparatif de 40 participants contrôles. Ils effectuent une tâche de clignement attentionnel (CA) qui mesure l'identification correcte des caractéristiques de visages cibles (C1 et C2) introduits dans des séquences rapides de visages neutres. En concordance avec l'hypothèse que des stimuli menaçants pertinents à la tâche devraient entraîner un effet facilitateur sur la performance, un premier chapitre empirique montre qu'une C2 fâchée présentée en situation de ressources limitées semble automatiquement rediriger l'attention vers ce stimulus. Cet effet de capture attentionnelle prend alors la forme d'une compétence cognitive chez les deux groupes d'adolescents étudiés. À l'inverse, une expression menaçante non pertinente à traiter - comme lorsque l'identification du genre d'une C1 fâchée est plutôt requise - paraît détourner l'attention des autres caractéristiques du stimulus. Dans ces conditions, une capture des ressources attentionnelles disponibles se traduit en une difficulté cognitive qui nuit au traitement de l'information cible pour l'ensemble des participants. Les résultats indifférenciés entre les groupes soulignent essentiellement l'absence de biais attentionnel propre aux participants exposés à la maltraitance. Un deuxième chapitre empirique propose donc une approche quantitative permettant de tester autrement l'existence du biais attentionnel tout en approfondissant la compréhension des données issues de la tâche de CA. Des paramètres empruntés à la théorie de détection du signal révèlent que les adolescents du groupe maltraitance ont plus souvent tendance à rapporter avoir vu une C2 lorsqu'elle est absente en comparaison avec le groupe contrôle. Une telle propension s'accompagne d'une stratégie décisionnelle à caractère plus libéral que les participants non exposés à la maltraitance, laquelle s'avère effectivement reconnue pour augmenter la susceptibilité aux erreurs de type fausses alarmes ou le nombre de détections fortuites. Les écarts presque significatifs obtenus entre les groupes demeurent néanmoins indépendants de la valence négative des C1 iii préalablement traitées, confirmant ainsi l'absence de biais attentionnel parmi les adolescents ayant subi la maltraitance. En revanche, des corrélations exploratoires avec les échelles de symptômes psychiatriques du Child Behavior Checklist ouvrent sur certains éléments cliniques à considérer en lien avec les résultats obtenus, dont le niveau d'impulsivité/inhibition des participants. Les conclusions de la thèse impliquent une possible résorption du biais attentionnel envers les visages fâchés observé auprès d'enfants victimes de maltraitance. Les retombées de cette découverte sont intégrées aux connaissances relatives à la maturation des mécanismes de régulation cognitive et comportementale lors de la puberté. Une approche évaluative basée sur les processus est encouragée dans la perspective d'élargir les applications cliniques issues de la recherche expérimentale.
The developmental impacts of childhood maltreatment are widely documented in scientific literature. On the cognitive level, some children are found to be hypervigilant in regards to signals associated with a potential danger, which can lead to a privileged allocation of attention toward those stimuli. Such an attentional bias allows a quick threat detection in order to adapt oneself in an adverse environment. It can, in turn, unnecessarily capture attention in a security context. However, the actual state of knowledge remains limited regarding the manifestation of this phenomenon during the juvenile period more specifically. Therefore, the aim of the present thesis is to verify whether an attentional bias towards threatening stimuli persists among adolescents who have experienced maltreatment. 79 adolescents (48 girls) aged 12 to 17 are recruited in the Quebec City region to form a group of 39 youths who have a history of maltreatment and a comparative group of 40 teenage controls. They perform an attentional blink (AB) task which measure the correct identification of characteristics from target faces (T1 and T2) introduced into a rapid serial presentation of neutral faces. In line with the hypothesis that task-relevant threatening stimuli should have a facilitating effect on performance, a first empirical chapter shows that an angry T2, presented in a resource-constrained situation, appears to automatically redirect attention to the stimulus. This attentional capture effect then takes the form of a cognitive competence in the two groups of adolescents. On the other hand, a threatening expression that is not relevant to process - as when identifying the gender of an angry T1 is rather required - seems to divert attention from the other characteristics of this stimulus. Under these circumstances, attentional capture results in a cognitive difficulty that impedes the processing of the targeted information for all participants. The undifferentiated results between groups mainly point out the absence of attentional bias specific to participants exposed to maltreatment. A second empirical chapter thus proposes a quantitative approach allowing to test the existence of an attentional bias differently while deepening comprehension of the AB task data. Parameters based on the Signal Detection Theory reveal that adolescents of the maltreatment group are more likely to report having seen a T2 when it was in fact absent in comparison with the control group. Such a tendency is accompanied by a decision-making strategy of a more liberal nature than participants not exposed to maltreatment, which is effectively known to increase susceptibility to false alarm errors or the number of incidental detections. Nevertheless, these almost significant differences between groups remain independent of the negative valence of previously treated T1, thus confirming the absence of attentional bias among the adolescents who experienced maltreatment. This being, exploratory correlations with the psychiatric symptoms scales of the Child Behavior Checklist open up on some clinical elements to v consider with regard to the results, notably participants' level of impulsivity/inhibition. The thesis conclusions imply a possible extinction of the threat-related attentional bias observed among children with a history of maltreatment. Impacts of this discovery are integrated with knowledge about the maturation of cognitive and behavioral regulatory mechanisms during puberty. A processoriented evaluation approach is encouraged with a view of enhancing clinical benefits from experimental research.

Normal subjects adapt quickly to the displacing effects of prism goggles. A measure of this adaptation comes from the negative aftereffects in reaching that subjects show after the prism goggles are removed. Neural circuitry within the cerebellar cortex has been implicated as the site of plasticity for visuomotor adaptation. An opportunity to test a 15-year-old boy, A.C., with near complete cerebellar agenesis allowed us to determine whether cerebellar structures are critical for prism adaptation to occur. A.C. was tested on two separate occasions, twice using his left hand, and once using his right hand. He wore prism goggles while pointing to a vertical line at each of nine target locations in baseline, exposure, and postexposure conditions. The position of his finger was recorded after each response. In the exposure condition, the goggles were adjusted to 11" displacement to the right when A.C. pointed with his left hand, and to the left when he pointed with his right hand. He received visual feedback only in the exposure condition. His results were compared to those of 20 normal control subjects (NCS). Independent measures of performance and adaptation were calculated for left- and right-handed pointing by each subject. A.C. showed greater variablity in pointing with his right (nonpreferred) hand compared to his left hand and compared to NCS. An ordinal ranking indicated that his adaptation scores did not differ significantly from those of the NCS for either the left (p = 0.30 ) or right hand (p = 0.22). While these results do not disprove the theory that the cerebellum plays a role in normal adaptation, it does indicate that neural structures outside the cerebellum are sufficient to allow adaptation to occur.

Abstract:
Community and neighborhood organizations are in the process of renewing the organizational culture, considering technological environments in the way of training, and advancing communally, being competitive in adaptation and learning, creating new solutions, promoting change, and altering the status quo, based on the advancement of technology over the last few years, currently applied in most organizations. The decisive factor is the ability of true leaders to appropriate the Technological Acceptance Model –TAM– principles, participating in programs and projects, adopting new technologies from the different actors involved, contributing to the welfare of each community. There is, however, a relative resistance to the use of technology as support in community management, due to the generational differences in leaders and dignitaries, according to collected reports in this study, in relation to the age range of dignitaries –Generation X and Baby Boomers predominate–. They present a challenge to digital inclusion with difficulties related to age, cognitive, sensory, difficulty in developing skills, and abilities required in Digital Technologies, necessary to face new scenarios post-pandemic and, in general, the need to use technological facilities.
