2. 1. Intelligence and models for cognitive development

   Author : Linda Wänström; Daniel Thorburn; Gösta Hägglund; Dag Sörbom; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intelligence; cognitive development; sample size; multilevel models; latent growth curve models; Statistics; Statistik; statistik; Statistics;

   Abstract : This dissertation focuses on cognitive development. In papers I and II, I study a special model, the second order latent growth curve model, that can be used to study cognitive development. Algebraic expressions for the variance of the estimation of slope differences are given. READ MORE

4. 2. Cognitive Interactive Robot Learning

   Author : Benjamin Fonooni; Hellström Thomas; Lars Erik Janlert; Christian Balkenius; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Learning from Demonstration; Imitation Learning; Human Robot Interaction; High-Level Behavior Learning; Shared Control; Cognitive Architectures; Cognitive Robotics; Priming; business data processing; administrativ databehandling;

   Abstract : Building general purpose autonomous robots that suit a wide range of user-specified applications, requires a leap from today's task-specific machines to more flexible and general ones. To achieve this goal, one should move from traditional preprogrammed robots to learning robots that easily can acquire new skills. READ MORE

5. 3. Interpretive Functions of Adjectives in English : A Cognitive Approach

   Author : Helena Frännhag; Carita Paradis; Kristin Davidse; Engelska; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; adjective; meaning; meaning creation; interpretation; formal interpretive function; semantic interpretive function; kind identification; element identification; identity provision; stipulation; specification; Languages and linguistics; Språkvetenskap; Lingvistik; Linguistics; Engelsk språkvetenskap; English; specification; stipulation; adjective; noun; meaning creation; cognitive semantics; interpretation; formal interpretive function; semantic interpretive function; kind identification; identity provision; element identification;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a theoretical discussion of meaning creation in general, and interpretive functions of English adjectives in particular. The discussion rests on a dynamic view of meaning and interpretation, according to which there are no fixed linguistics meanings – not even for single lexemes. READ MORE

6. 4. Geometric Models of Similarity

   Author : Mikael Johannesson; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; symmetry; similarity; separable dimensions; prominence; multidimensional scaling; Minkowski metric; machine learning; integral dimensions; familiarity; geometric models; distance metric; asymmetry; conceptual spaces; Computer science; numerical analysis; systems; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; Geometry; algebraic topology; Geometri; algebraisk topologi;

   Abstract : This dissertation examines and discusses some phenomena related to the geometric representation of similarity. It takes its inspiration from the existing body of empirical research within the fields of perceptual and cognitive psychology, but also connects to certain areas of machine learning. READ MORE

7. 5. Exploring models of time processing : effects of training and modality, and the relationship with cognition in rhythmic motor tasks

   Author : Olympia Karampela; Guy Madison; Linus Holm; Fredrik Ullén; Simon Grondin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; timing; motor timing; cogntion; dedicated models; intrinsic models; timing variability;

   Abstract : Timing can be defined as the ability to perceive temporal sequences and regulate timed behaviors. As in other animals, our ability to make accurate time estimations is crucial in order to accomplish several activities. Organisms can process time over a wide range of durations ranging from microseconds to days. READ MORE
