Abstract:
This study examined higher order perception, cognition, and individual-cultural differences as a basis for the rapid use of knowledge in complex problems requiring distributed team members. Previous research suggests that when complex problem-solving teams acquire perceptually anchored knowledge and engage in perceptual contrasts and comparisons, team members may spontaneously access knowledge given similarly situated problems. Our premise is that perceptual anchors may provide the basis for formulating shared mental models, which can be used to assess situations and resolve differences in individual, unique knowledge. However, distributed cognition settings may diminish the development of these models despite the advantages of perceptual anchors. Because distributed cognition often incurs through shared information spaces, this study utilized chatrooms to enact a distributed environment. Initial analyses partially support previous research (McNeese, 2000) that has examined the role of cognitive processes in facilitating knowledge acquisition and transfer. Individual problem solvers show positive transfer but distributed team members do not. Gender and ethnicity may also impact acquisition and transfer results. Results suggest the need for intelligent interfaces/collaborative technologies to improve effectiveness and efficiency in appropriating perceptual differentiation in distributed cognition.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the process of perceptual recalibration (PR) in light of two cases of technologically-mediated cognition: sensory substitution and perceptual modification. We hold that PR is a very useful concept — perhaps necessary — for explaining the adaptive capacity that natural perceptive systems display as they respond to functional demands from the environment. We also survey critically related issues, such as the role of learning, training, and nervous system plasticity in the recalibrating process. Attention is given to the interaction between technology and cognition, and the case of epistemic prostheses is presented as an illustration. Finally, we address the following theoretical issues: (1) the dynamic character of spatial perception; (2) the role of functional demands in perception; (3) the nature and interaction of sensory modalities. We aim to show that these issues may be addressed empirically and conceptually — hence, the usefulness of sensory-substitution and perceptual-modification studies in the analysis of perception, technologically-mediated cognition, and cognition in general.

Abstract:
It is very tempting to try to reconcile perception and cognition perceptual symbol systems may be a good way to achieve this; but is there actually a perception-cognition continuum? We offer several arguments for and against the existence of such a continuum and in favor of the choice of perceptual symbol systems. One of these arguments is purely theoretical, some are based on PET-scan observations and others are based on research with handicapped subjects who have communication problems associated with cerebral lesions. These arguments suggest that modal perceptual symbols do indeed exist and that perception and cognition might have a common neuronal basis; but perceptual and cognitive activities require the activation of different neuronal structures.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article was to examine the relations that exist between bistable perception and divergent thinking, taking as a reference that flexibility emerges in both mechanisms, perceptually or cognitively. To achieve the objective, a literary review was carried out using six databases. The keywords used were: bistable perception, perceptual reversals, insight, creative cognition, creative flexibility, perceptual flexibility. 19 articles on the relationship between bistable perception, flexibility and creativity were found. 44 studies regarding both bistable perception and the mechanisms that are involved while cognitive flexibility emerges were considered. 2 reviews on bistable perception were also included. 6 articles related to creativity as a cognitive phenomenon were collated, plus another 3 on perceptual processes. After having made the analysis, it is concluded that the modulating mechanisms of bistable perception have a possibility of being incorporated to develop creativity from perceptual reconfiguration processes that involve flexibility mechanisms.

Abstract:
Abstract Previous studies on smoking and cognition reported mixed findings. The inconsistent results are partially explained by the fact that they were limited to specific populations and using different cognitive function measurements. This association between smoking and cognition has rarely been studied in the rapidly increasing U.S. Chinese older adults. This study aims to determine if smoking status and smoking amount are associated with global cognition and cognitive domains in U.S. Chinese older adults. Data was extracted PINE. Five cognitive function tests (East Boston Memory Test, East Boston Memory Delayed Recall, Digital Backward test, Symbol digit Modality Test, and MMSE) were used to measure cognitive domains including episodic memory, working memory, and processing speed. Five cognitive tests were converted to z scores and averaged to generate global cognition. Self-reported smoking status was used for generating smoking status and smoking amount (pack-years). Linear regression was used. The results showed that former smokers had lower global cognition (b=-0.111, SE=0.053, p<.05) and perceptual speed (b=-0.185, SE=0.066, p<.01) than never smokers; current smokers had lower global cognition (b=-0.240, SE=0.060, p<.001), working memory (b=-0.340, SE=0.083, p<.001) and perceptual speed (b=-0.370, SE=0.075, p<.001) compared with never smokers. Smoking pack-years is negatively associated with global cognition (b=-0.003, SE=0.001,p<.001), episodic memory (b=-0.005, SE=0.001, p<.001), and perceptual speed (b=-0.004, SE=0.001, p<.001). Findings revealed that among all smokers, current smokers had the worst cognition and heavier smoking was associated with worse cognition. Policymakers could take measures in lowering smoking amount among U.S. Chinese older adults to protect their cognition.

Abstract:
Drawing on non-Darwinian cultural-evolutionary approaches, the paper develops a broad, non-representational perspective on narrative, necessary to account for the narrative “ubiquity” hypothesis. It considers narrativity as a feature of intelligent behaviour and as a formative principle of symbolic representation (“narrative proclivity”). The narrative representation retains a relationship with the “primary” pre-symbolic narrativity of the basic orientational-interpretive (semiotic) behaviour affected by perceptually salient objects and “fits” in natural environments. The paper distinguishes between implicit narrativity (as the basic form of perceptual-cognitive mapping) of intelligent behaviour or non-narrative media, and the “narrative” as a symbolic representation. Human perceptual-attentional routines are enhanced by symbolic representations: due to its attention-monitoring and information-gathering function, narrative serves as a cognitive-exploratory tool facilitating cultural dynamics. The rise of new media and mass communication on the Web has thrown the ability of narrative to shape the public sphere through the ongoing process of negotiated sensemaking and interpretation in a particularly sharp relief.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives We aim to 1) examine the association of whole grain consumption and rate of decline in global cognition, perceptual speed, episodic memory and 2) test whether these associations differ by race/ethnicity. Methods We included 4,719 participants from a biracial population-based sample, the Chicago Health and Aging Project (62% African Americans [AAs], 63% female) who responded to a FFQ and with two or more cognitive assessments and a follow-up up to 10 years. We excluded those with extreme BMI (<14 or >55) and implausible caloric intakes (<500 kcal or > 3800 kcal for women, < 800 kcal or > 4200 kcal for men), or entire page or >50% items unanswered. Global cognition was assessed using a composite score of episodic memory, perceptual speed, and the MMSE. Diet was assessed by FFQ. Mixed models were adjusted for age, sex, education, smoking status, calorie intake, cognitive activities, cardiovascular diseases, time since baseline, and the interaction term of time with each covariate. Results On average, AAs had higher whole grain consumption (1.3 ± 1.03 servings/d) than European Americans (EAs, 0.9 ± 0.8 servings/d, P < 0.05). Higher consumption of whole grains was associated with a slower global cognitive decline (P for trend 0.004). Specifically, the association of whole grain consumption and slower rate of decline in global cognition, perceptual speed, and episodic memory was observed in AAs, but not among EAs. Among AAs, those in the highest quintile had a 38% slower rate of decline in global cognition (β = 0.024, P = 0.004), 54% for perceptual speed (β = 0.023, P = 0.006), and 70% for episodic memory (β = 0.028, P = 0.015) compared to those in the lowest quintile. In terms of the amount consumed, in AAs, participants who consumed >3 servings/d versus those who consumed < 1 serving/d, had a slower rate of decline in global cognition (38% slower, P = 0.0093), perceptual speed (79% slower, P = 0.014) and episodic memory (65% slower, P = 0.014). In EAs with >3 servings/d, we did not find a significant association in global cognitive decline (38% slower, P = 0.08) than those who consumed < 1 serving/d. Conclusions Whole grain consumption is suboptimal in the study population. Improving the consumption of whole grains can lower rate of decline in global cognition, perceptual speed, and episodic memory, especially among AAs.

Abstract:
Discussions of the relationship between perception and cognition often proceed without a definition of these terms. The sensory-modality specific nature of low-level perceptual processes provides a means of distinguishing them from cognitive processes. A more explicit definition of terms provides insight into the nature of the evidence that can resolve questions about the relationship between perception and cognition.

Abstract:
Background and Objectives To examine the association of whole grain consumption and longitudinal change in global cognition, perceptual speed, and episodic memory by different race/ethnicity. Methods We included 3,326 participants from the Chicago Health and Aging Project who responded to a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), with 2 or more cognitive assessments. Global cognition was assessed using a composite score of episodic memory, perceptual speed, and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Diet was assessed by a 144-item FFQ. Linear mixed-effects models were used to estimate the association of intakes of whole grains and cognitive decline. Results This study involved 3,326 participants (60.1% African American [AA], 63.7% female) with a mean age of 75 years at baseline and a mean follow-up of 6.1 years. Higher consumption of whole grains was associated with a slower rate of global cognitive decline. Among AA participants, those in the highest quintile of whole grain consumption had a slower rate of decline in global cognition (β = 0.024, 95% CI [0.008–0.039], p = 0.004), perceptual speed (β = 0.023, 95% CI [0.007–0.040], p = 0.005), and episodic memory (β = 0.028, 95% CI [0.005–0.050], p = 0.01) compared with those on the lowest quintile. Regarding the amount consumed, in AA participants, those who consumed >3 servings/d vs those who consumed <1 serving/d had a slower rate of decline in global cognition (β = 0.021, 95% CI [0.005–0.036], p = 0.0093). In White participants, with >3 servings/d, we found a suggestive association of whole grains with global cognitive decline when compared with those who consumed <1 serving/d (β = 0.025, 95% CI [−0.003 to 0.053], p = 0.08). Discussion Among AA participants, individuals with higher consumption of whole grains and more frequent consumption of whole grain had slower decline in global cognition, perceptual speed, and episodic memory. We did not see a similar trend in White adults.

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to spell out and consider Plato' s views on perceptual cog­nition. It is argued that Plato is cornrnitted to the view that perceptual cognition can be rational, and that beliefs about the sensible world need not be confused or ill-founded. Plato' s interest in the matter arises from worries over the way in which his fore­runners and contemporaries conceived of perceptual cognition. They conceived of cognitive processes in terms of corporeal changes and attempted to explain perceptual cognition in causal terms. The problem with such accounts, according to Plato, is that they make perceptual cognition an entirely passive process, and seem incapable of accommodating the freedom of reason. Plato's main target is Protagoras' view on cognition and he accuses him of con­flating different cognitive phenomena that ought to be kept apart. More particularly, he suggests that Protagoras' 'man the measure' thesis is based on the conflation of sen se perception (aisthesis), belief (doxa) and appearing (phantasia), and that Protagoras is cornmitted to the view that beliefs are arrived at in a non-rational way. It is shown how Plato takes issue with Protagoras by disentangling these three cognitive phenomena. It is argued that Plato' s way of understanding these notions leaves room for the possibility that reason plays apart in perceptual cognition and that we arrive at beliefs in a rational way. In the course of spelling out the argument, Plato' s views on a number of topics are scrutinised: the perceptual mechanism; the objects of sense perception; perceptual content; the nature of belief; the eon trast between belief and appearing; the nation of reason.

Abstract:
A number of previous studies have found that wine experts can more accurately discriminate between and describe wine samples than novices. However, the mechanisms that underlie these disparities remain unclear. This collection of studies is an investigation of whether the expert advantage is based on long-term memory structures, such as found for other obviously more cognitive skills, such as chess and bridge expertise. Experiments 1, 2 and 3 investigated whether wine experts are better than novices in recall of wine descriptions. It was hypothesised that experts would show more accurate recall than novices, although only when the descriptions were configured in a meaningful manner, that is, consistent with grape varieties commonly grown in Australia. The findings were as expected, with experts showing impaired recall for descriptions that did not match any grape variety (Experiment 2). In addition, expert recall was superior on an incidental task (Experiment 3), when recall was unexpected, suggesting that experts automatically refer to verbal long-term memory structures during a wine-related task. These structures consist of wine-relevant terms, and are organised by their relationship to grape varieties, and more broadly, grape colour. Experiments 4, 5, 6 and 7 investigated the role of the above-mentioned long-term memory structures in expert descriptive ability. The results supported their involvement, since expert�s ability to identify components was affected by sample configuration (Experiment 6) in a similar way to that found for recall of wine descriptions. Additional evidence comes from the finding that, novices, when provided with a small set of grape-relevant labels during a descriptive task, performed better than subjects given either no list or a long list of labels relevant to all the different grape varieties (Experiment 4). While experts correctly identified more flavours than novices, they also made more errors (Experiment 6), suggesting that verbal long-term memory structures do not increase the accuracy of the identification of aromas and flavours by experts. Rather, they inform experts as to which labels are likely to be correct for particular styles of wine. Experiments 8, 9 and 10 investigated both the discrimination performance of novices, intermediates and experts, as well as the role of long-term memory structures in any expert discriminative advantage. Experts (Experiments 8 and 10) and intermediates (Experiment 9) showed greater powers of discrimination than novices. However, results were equivocal in relation to the role of verbal long-term memory structures (Experiment 10), suggesting that other factors, such as perceptual learning and or memory, may be important in the expert discriminative advantage. Overall, results from these studies illustrate that long-term memory structures are essential, not only in domains of expertise that are obviously based on cognitive skills, but also that of descriptive ability with respect to wine. However, unlike in other domains, these structures do not serve to improve the relative accuracy of descriptive performance, at least with regard to aromas and flavours.

Abstract:
Tous les soirs, nous nous endormons; tous les matins, nous nous réveillons. De ce qui advient entre temps nous gardons peu de souvenirs. Les personnes qui nous entourent pourraient nous dire que nous avons bougé, parlé, ri ou crié, que les émotions les plus vives ont pris le contrôle de notre corps sans pour autant avoir laissé le moindre souvenir. Ou encore, les personnes qui nous entourent ont pu bouger, parler, rire ou crier sans que nous nous en rendîmes compte le moins du monde. Ou au contraire, nous pouvons émerger de la plus fantastique des aventures dans un lit pourtant bien calme,bercé par le calme tic-tac de l’horloge. Il semble que le sommeil opère une dissociation complète entre ce qui arrive dans notre environnement immédiat et dans notre esprit,sans pour autant que la chose éveille en nous la moindre alarme. À tout moment qui plus est, nous pouvons nous réveiller et reprendre conscience de notre environnement de façon quasi instantanée. Curieusement, il semble que certains sons aient une plus grande facilité à nous réveiller que d’autres. Sommes-nous donc complètement déconnectés de notre environnement quand nous dormons ?
Every night we fall asleep and every morning we wake up. From what happens in the meantime, little is remembered. Others may say that we have moved, talked, laughed orcried, that the strongest and most vivid emotions took control of our body without leaving the faintest memory behind. Or others may have moved, talked, laughed or cried without our slightest notice. On the contrary, we can emerge from the most fantastic adventure in a quiet bed, cradled by a peaceable ticking clock. Without causing us much alarm, it seems that sleep entails a dissociation between what happens in ourenvironment and within our mind. Yet, at any moment, we can wake up and immediately regain consciousness of the surrounding world. Interestingly, it seems that certain sounds are more likely to awake us than others.Thus, are we completely disconnected from our environment when we sleep?

Full text
Abstract:
The sensorimotor theory is an influential, non-mainstream account of perception and perceptual consciousness intended to improve in various ways on orthodox theories. It is often taken to be a variety of enactivism, and in common with enactivist cognitive science more generally, it de-emphasises the theoretical role played by internal representation and other purely neural processes, giving theoretical pride of place instead to interactive engagements between the brain, non-neural body and outside environment. In addition to offering a distinctive account of the processing that underlies perceptual consciousness, the sensorimotor theory aims to offer a new and improved account the logical and phenomenological character of perceptual experience, and the relation between physical and phenomenal states. Since its inception in a 2001 paper by O'Regan and Noë, the theory has prompted a good deal of increasingly prominent theoretical and practical work in cognitive science, as well as a large body of secondary literature in philosophy of cognitive science and philosophy of perception. In spite of its influential character, many of the theory's most basic tenets are incompletely or ambiguously defined, and it has attracted a number of prominent objections. This thesis aims to clarify the conceptual foundations of the sensorimotor theory, including the key theoretical concepts of sensorimotor contingency, sensorimotor mastery, and presence-as-access, and defends a particular understanding of the respective theoretical roles of internal representation and behavioural capacities. In so doing, the thesis aims to highlight the sensorimotor theory's virtues and defend it from some leading criticisms, with particular attention to a response by Clark which claims that perception and perceptual experience plausibly depend on the activation of representations which are not intimately involved in bodily engagements between the agent and environment. A final part of the thesis offers a sensorimotor account of the experience of temporally extended events, and shows how with reference to this we can better understand object experience.

Abstract:
To solve the difficulties in obtaining user requirements and establishing objective and effective product modeling constraints in product design , A research model of design method based on user perceptual imagination and product modeling constraints was constructed. Firstly, based on the collection of user information, the KJ method is used to obtain the accurate perceptual cognition of users about the product. To address the problem of strong subjectivity of data acquisition in the process of user imagery cognition research, on the basis of user perceptual cognition, the product perceptual imagery semantics is targeted to obtain user perceptual demand information.Then, the user data and the user perceptions obtained from the interviews are combined, and the user perceptual needs are derived through filtering. Next, the complex constraint theory is used as a guide to summarize the design constraint problem and establish the product modeling constraints. Finally, by integrating product perceptual imagination and morphological constraints, product design positioning is derived. The method model of this study can accurately derive a product design orientation based on user needs and objective constraints of the product, and improve design effectiveness and accuracy.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent evidence suggests that when observing real-world events involving humans, people constantly monitor perceptual features that guide conceptual understanding of ongoing events. The current work asks if people monitor and interpret perceptual features (risks) differently when viewing events involving virtual characters in simulated environments. This investigation stems from theories of grounded cognition, which maintain that the environment in which cognitive processes take place affects the characters of the processes. An eye-tracking study was conducted. The results provide evidence that when perceiving events in simulated environments, people perform expectation driven processing more extensively, and that there is a temporal lag of monitoring perceptual features and integrating them into ongoing event representations.

Abstract:
Research in cognitive science has provided extensive evidence of human cognitive ability in performing physical reasoning of objects from noisy perceptual inputs. Such a cognitive ability is commonly known as intuitive physics. With advancements in deep learning, there is an increasing interest in building intelligent systems that are capable of performing physical reasoning from a given scene for the purpose of building better AI systems. As a result, many contemporary approaches in modelling intuitive physics for machine cognition have been inspired by literature from cognitive science. Despite the wide range of work in physical reasoning for machine cognition, there is a scarcity of reviews that organize and group these deep learning approaches. Especially at the intersection of intuitive physics and artificial intelligence, there is a need to make sense of the diverse range of ideas and approaches. Therefore, this paper presents a comprehensive survey of recent advances and techniques in intuitive physics-inspired deep learning approaches for physical reasoning. The survey will first categorize existing deep learning approaches into three facets of physical reasoning before organizing them into three general technical approaches and propose six categorical tasks of the field. Finally, we highlight the challenges of the current field and present some future research directions.

Abstract:
One of the fundamental principles of neuroergonomics is that human cognition is profoundly shaped by the environment in which it operates. In the modern world, this environment can often be highly artificial, noisy, barren, and intentionally distracting. On the other hand, natural environments compare favorably as they may offer not only an appreciation of beauty but a rich array of sensory and contextual information which can be undemanding to the observer. Attention Restoration Theory (ART) proposes that exposure to natural environments can provide various benefits to stress, health, and cognition. Understanding how the brain responds to natural environment presentation poses a crucial hurdle to using traditional neuroimaging techniques as many approaches necessitate highly controlled and resultingly, low-fidelity stimuli presentation to mimic the environmental effects of nature. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a non-invasive brain monitoring technology that relies on optical techniques to detect changes in cortical hemodynamic responses to human perceptual, cognitive, and motor functioning, is an ideal candidate tool for understanding the brain in natural environments. In this paper, we will describe an experimental setup that involves the integration of mobile fNIRS systems with simultaneous wrist-based optical heart rate monitoring (OHRM) and electrodermal activity (EDA) recordings that can record the cognitive and physiological responses of individuals to natural settings.

Full text
Abstract:
The design and implementation of multi-modal information displays can be affected by individual differences within the target user population. These differences manifest themselves at a number of sensory, perceptual, and cognitive levels. In general, such differences and their ranges are rarely taken into account in system design. Instances of significant differences among “normal” individuals will be considered particularly in the visual, auditory, and tactile sensory modalities. As will be discussed in this review of some of the pertinent literature, there can be substantial variation in sensation, perception, and cognition both within an age group as well as over the age span of the target population. For example, because the ages of military personnel can range over five or six decades, device designers have to account for the fact that levels of sensory sensitivity and acuity deteriorate significantly with age. This paper will survey a number of these individual differences, particularly those that have the potential for complicating the design and general application of informational displays for the military. Subtle variations in individual sensitivity and even perceptual “style” can undermine the “one-size-fits-all” philosophy of display design. These have the potential to affect the utility of the system under battlefield stress conditions.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: There is a considerable variety of neurotechnology-based cognitive training using immersive and computerized technologies, although this wide variety of training is not well explored by the literature in manuscripts that describe what types of approaches exist and what training is most appropriate for certain individuals' necessities, especially for perceptual and cognitive outcomes. Aim: To synthesize neurotechnology-based cognitive training interventions for healthy older adults. Methods: We followed the guidelines set forth for conducting systematic scoping reviews proposed by Peters et al. (2015). Consistent with this methodology, our review was conducted in five steps (developing the specific research questions, identifying relevant studies, selecting studies, charting data, and summarizing and reporting results). Results and Discussion: The initial search of electronic databases yielded 417. After the removal of duplicates, 328 studies were screened. After abstract and title screening, we assessed 36 full texts for eligibility and included 13 studies in the final synthesis. From our first specific research question, the most frequently mentioned type of training in recent literature is computer-based cognitive training. From our second specific research question, the most frequently mentioned cognitive outcomes in healthy older adults are global cognition, inhibitory control, and processing speed. Conclusion: The results of this brief scoping review show the importance of evaluating the impact of neurotechnology-based cognitive training to verify its effects on the cognitive performance of healthy older adults.

Abstract:
This article examines the feasibility and effectiveness of introducing gamification technologies into the educational process, which is the use of game mechanisms, principles and tools to solve real non-game problems and problems in various areas of public life. The conducted research is a meta-analysis of the current experience of gamification application, obtained from numerous international scientific studies, practical cases and reports of companies. The collected data show an important practical understanding of the application of gamification in the processes of planning and implementing projects, staff education and motivation, customer attraction and retention through loyalty programs. The influence of gamification technologies on the processes of cognition and learning is proved thanks to hardware studies of the brain activity of students during the game exercises using electroencephalography, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). As a result of the study of the effects of gamification in terms of improving productivity through perceptual learning, conclusions were made that formed the basis for a generalized list of opportunities for using gamification elements in companies. The study systematized the practical results presented by case studies of companies and educational literature, which considered the results of the application of gamification as mostly positive.

Abstract:
Public transportation is an essential part of many older adults’ lives, but the pandemic presented new challenges for the vulnerable population. Adults aged 65 years and older experienced additional challenges, such as limited mobility options (e.g., lack of buses or trains in service due a combination of government lockdowns, fear of contracting or spreading the virus, and driver shortages in certain areas) because of the pandemic, which may have resulted in more age-related declines in perceptual, cognitive, and physical functioning. This study explores how older adults living in major metropolitan cities in the United States used and perceived public transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research team conducted an online survey through the Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) crowdsourcing marketplace, a platform that offers opportunities to recruit a larger number of participants from diverse geographic locations. 260 respondents completed the survey. Eligibility included: (1) residing in the United States, (2) being aged 55 years or older (the oldest age that can be selected on MTurk), and (3) having an approval rating of 90% or above (i.e., the percentage of the workers’ submitted tasks approved by survey requesters, offered by the MTurk platform). Overall, older adults reported that they had changed travel patterns since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, experienced challenges in using public transportation, and expressed concerns about catching the SARS-CoV-2 virus while using public transportation. Mobile technology (e.g., a transportation navigation app) was perceived as a good option for finding public transportation information, but needs improved user experience and accessibility. These findings may help transit agencies develop effective strategies for improving transportation services and increasing policymakers’ awareness of older adults’ need for accessible public transportation.
