Author(s): Sarem Özdemir / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 97-1/2019

Preschool education is a critical period in terms of improving cognitive, social-emotional, language and self-care skills of a human’s life. The main purpose in this study is to investigate differences of competencies of children’s cognitive, social-emotional and self-care skills in terms of mothers’ employment status. Cross sectional survey method and descriptive analysis were used in this study. Target population was all mothers who have a child at age 6 and accessible population was mothers who live in Nicosia. Random sampling was used to assign the questionnaire. The items in the rubric were formed with related to the objectives mentioned in the preschool education curriculum. Participant mothers were asked to specify the degree of competency on cognitive, social-emotional and self-care learning skills. Data obtained in this study were collected in the February and March 2016. Questionnaire also included personal information about participants that are; employment situation, age, number of children, level of education and job of the mother. According to the results, children of mothers at home had higher scores on social-emotional and self-care skills. In addition, it was found that children with higher education level had higher social emotional development scores and self-care skills. It was also concluded that the older mothers’children had a better level of self-care skills.

Adolescent Coping Strategies in Social Conflict in Relation to Self-Esteem and Cognitive Appraisal of a Conflict

Author(s): Danuta Borecka-Biernat / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

The aim of the research was to assess the role of self-esteem and cognitive appraisal of a conflict in generating destructive and constructive strategies of coping used by adolescents in social conflict situations. The following research tools have been used in the research: the Self-Esteem Scale (SES) developed by M. Rosenberg, adapted by M. Łaguna, K. Lachowicz-Tabaczek, and I. Dzwonkowska; the Stress Appraisal Questionnaire (SAQ) (Polish: KOS – Kwestionariusz Oceny Stresu) by D. Włodarczyk and K. Wrześniewski; as well as the Questionnaire for the study of adolescents 'coping strategies employed in social conflict situations (Polish: KSMK – Kwestionariusz strategii radzenia sobie młodzieży w sytuacji konfliktu społecznego) developed by D. Borecka-Biernat. The empirical research was carried out in middle schools (Polish: gimnazjum). The research involved 893 adolescents (468 girls and 425 boys) aged 13–15. Analysis of research results indicates that in the case of adolescents, lower assessment of one’s capacities and the appraisal of conflict in terms of threat or harm/loss, generally coincides with the tendency to react destructively when faced with a conflict. The research has also indicated that an adolescent with higher self-esteem, when involved in a conflict that is not assessed as threatening, implements a constructive strategy to cope with the situation.

Anne-Baba İlgisinin Çocukların Okul Başarısı Üzerindeki Etkisi

Author(s): Turhan Şengönül / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 04/2019

The aim of this article is to examine the related research literature conducted on the relationship between parental involvement in education and children’s academic achievement. Researchers have suggested that parental involvement influences the academic performance of students at kindergarten, primary school, secondary school as well as high school. Parental involvement is defined in terms of various factors such as discipline or the process of socializing and parenting children in the household, parental aspirations and expectations for children’s education and academic achievement, communication, discussions about school, and participation in school activities. Parents discuss school activities with children, monitor, check and help with their homework, communicate with teachers, attend school functions and parent-teacher conferences in order to ensure better academic performance of their children. They expect and aspire for their children to have higher rates of educational attainment and higher academic achievement. These educational expectations and aspirations of parents are positively associated with academic achievement of children.

Artyfikacja codzienności i odwrócony mimetyzm, czyli życie, które naśladuje sztukę

Author(s): Paula Milczarczyk / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 31/2019

In this paper, I analyse the phenomenon of artification of everyday experience. Using the concept of “artification” developed in the field of Everyday Aesthetics, I define the non-artistic experience, which is co-shaped by art and related to its models of perception. As the consequence of this mechanism, I indicate the tendency to project some artistic cognitive schemas (or their elements) to the existing reality. As a result of this process, events and non-artistic views are captured in the image of art, as ”art-like”. The process of the interpenetration of the fields of art and non-art may lead in turn to the reversal of the mimetic order – when artistic creation determines the forms of examining the world to the extent that it creates the effect of “life imitating art”. This phenomenon of formalizing experience according to artistic models is illustrated by examples from the linguistics, visual arts and literature.

Artysta jako nieświadomy neurobiolog. Filmoznawczo-neurokognitywistyczna analiza myśli Hugo Münsterberga i Lwa Kuleszowa

Author(s): Hanna Przybysz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 34/2019

The history and theory of art have often shown, before the era of neurobiology, cognitive psychology and cognitive science, that great artists are unconscious neurobiologists, activating with their art the areas of the brain of recipients that cause aesthetic experience, and using in their works the principles of perception or optical illusions, unknown to ordinary mortals, and sometimes also to creators at the level of consciousness. The following considerations are intended to approximate and, to some extent, to rehabilitate and save film creators and theoreticians who are being forgotten, the ones who, long before the discoveries of the cognitive sciences, considered theoretically and carried out empirical experiments aimed at showing and explaining the mysteries of human perception and the influence of the film on the viewer. I will present the profiles of the two pioneers of pre-cognitive thought on the basis of film studies: Hugo Münsterberg and Lew Kuleszow. I will show that half a century before neuroscientific research, they dealt with the cognitive processes of human cognition. I will present the contemporary state of cognitive sciences to illustrate the pioneering and legitimacy of visions, intuitions and achievements of the above creators, who are underestimated and forgotten by time and the achievements of “cold” science, although neuroesthetics researchers who have been involved in the problem of perception of works of art and rehabilitation of the merits of the past in the area of neuroscience for some time cannot be denied their achievements. Ignoring their contribution and achievements in the science of cognition, especially as to this day they are continued in research laboratories, in my subjective opinion, equals the potential underestimation of Leonardo da Vinci’s contribution to medical science or Darwin’s to research emotions.

BAZELE NEURO-FIZIOLOGICE ALE COMPORTAMENTULUI INTENȚIONAL

Author(s): Dan PSATTA / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2020

The intentionality was brought as a theme of philosophical meditation by Husserl, and his theories had and have a great impact in the Romanian philosophy. The main problem of philosophical thinking of all time was the lack of objective validation. I proposed the functional (neuro-physiological) research of mental activity as a fundamental means of validating the philosophy of the spirit, naming this approach neurophilosophy. From this perspective, most of Husserl's statements are invalid. The mental activity has, from a neuro-physiological point of view, two spheres: one of the receptor type (sensory) within the retro-Rolandic headquarters/associative areas, another of the effector type (action) within an area of pre-Rolandic anatomical projection.Intentionality is not sensory, as Husserl (in the theory of the "intentional object") believed, but is a psycho-motor "hinge" between the two spheres, action-oriented and has, from a neuro-physiological point of view, a very complex mechanism, evolving on the animal scale in specific stages, which we try to demonstrate.

Bezcenna nieużyteczna. Ekonomie i prawdy poezji

Author(s): Marta Baron-Milian / Language(s): Polish / Publication Year: 0

The author attempts to epistemological approach to the status of poetry from a perspective questions asked by the economics of literature. He lists selected theories poetry - Jochen Hörisch, Wiktor B. Szkłowski, Jean Baudrillard and Franco Berardi - which can be considered specific "economies of poetry" due to their proposed description of the properties of the poetic medium in an economic perspective. For each of them, poetry is defined as uneconomical and useless, which at the same time - paradoxically - becomes a condition for its existence as a linguistic breaking are acirculation of signs, a point of resistance to conventionalized communication and the automation of perception, and thus - a medium offering a specific knowledge of reality.

Bilişsel Davranışçı Terapi-Uykusuzluk Protokolü ve Etkililik Çalışmalarının Gözden Geçirilmesi

Author(s): Umut Çıvgın,Gülay Dirik / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 2/2020

Nowadays, problems related to sleep increase. Insomnia is one of the most frequently encountered sleep disorders in both our country and other countries. The studies investigating the cognitive behavioral therapy based treatment of insomnia disorder and the effectiveness of this treatment approach were reviewed in present study. For the review, the studies on the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Insomnia (CBT-I) protocol between years 2005-2019 were examined via Medline, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, Web of Science, and JStore databases. According to the related literature, CBT-I has shown positive results in decreasing insomnia symptoms, increasing sleep time, and sustaining gains after intervention. Although it is emphasized that the inter-vention has some disadvantages in some studies, it is not only the treatment of insomnia disorder, but also it is an effective treatment method in the treatment of comorbid disorders such as depression anxiety with insomnia disorder. It is observed that the effectiveness of the CBT-I protocol, which is frequently used in literature and whose effectiveness has been investigat-ed, has not yet been studied in the Turkey. For this reason, in the current study, the studies conducted in the field related to this subject are reviewed.

Author(s): Ana-Maria Ţebrean,Andreea Ţebrean (Sabie) / Language(s): English / Issue: 9/2018

In this paper entitled BULLYING in schools - Activities through which teachers can prevent Bullying at school, we propose to present a worrying reality of our day by proposing some preventive ways that could come in support of a worrying phenomenon, which has increased in size in schools in Romania. We consider that the teaching staff also plays an important role in trying to stop this phenomenon, by implementing some active-participatory activities in the classroom, activities that we intend to highlight in this paper.

Cartographies of the mind: Generalization and relevance in cognitive landscapes

Author(s): Sergio Rodríguez Gómez / Language(s): English / Issue: 3-4/2019

The problem of relevance, at individual agent scale – or how we decide what is adequate for our interpretation of the signs we encounter in the world – is a question that keeps reappearing in semiotics and other disciplines concerned with meaning. In this article I propose an approximation on relevance that conceives meaning as a trajectory across a cognitive landscape. Unlike conventional accounts on relevance, which presuppose mental processes built on feature-based representations, my proposal suggests conceiving cognition as a fluid and emergent field of attractors basins that become specified and modified when experiences appear, and conceiving meaning as a trajectory across the cognitive field. Consequently, I suggest that when cognitive landscapes better fit world experience, agents’ categorizations will be more relevant. My proposal is mainly supported by two approaches: the enactivist notion of structural coupling and the theories of dynamic neural populations of Walter Freeman III.

COGNITIVE AND METACOGNITIVE ASPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIFELONG LEARNING COMPETENCIES IN LAW STUDENTS

Author(s): Volodymyr L. Grokholskyi,Nataliia Ia. Kaida,Serhii V. Albul,Eduard V. Ryzhkov,Svitlana Ye. Trehub / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2020

Lifelong learning is one of the main trends in educational and social policy in Europe, aimed at ensuring professional realization and social integrity of an individual. The article describes cognitive and metacognitive aspects of the formation of learning competence, as well as predisposition of law students to lifelong learning. A survey of 218 students and masters was conducted, data on the most popular and effective forms of knowledge acquisition (experience of formal, nonformal and informal learning over the past year), plans for further education and career development were collected. The dynamics of learning at different years of study is described. A group of students with pronounced learning and focus on lifelong learning (45% of the sample) was identified. A comparative analysis of two samples was carried out and qualities that could be considered markers of the LLL orientation were identified: a high level of metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive activity, reflective competence (at the cognitive, metacognitive and personal level), internal involvement in learning, focus on achieving professionalism and personal development, general self-efficacy, the prevalence of progressive and creative motives over consumer ones. Conclusions are drawn about the predominant role of metacognitions and personality determinants in the formation of lifelong learning competency among students. Reflection aimed at recognizing one’s own cognitive processes and understanding their contribution to personal development is the main mechanism for the formation of meta-cognitive abilities. The results obtained in the study determine the ways of pedagogical support and psychological intervention to ensure the development of lifelong learning competencies in different categories of students.

COGNITIVE AND STYLE PREDICTORS OF THE STUDENTS’ PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING

Author(s): Irina Kibal’chenko,Tatiana Eksakusto / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

The article analyses the psychological well-being and basic beliefs of students from the point of view of various variables, but the particular attention is payed to cognitive style, which is studied as the way of information assessment, determining person’s intellectual activity as well as own life activity in general. Theoretical and multivariate regression (stepwise method) analyses allowed us to define the models of psychological well-being and basic beliefs predictors at the significance levels from p≤0.000 to p≤0.043. The number of the students’ basic beliefs and psychological well-being style models is 17 of hypothetical 18 models; this result reflects a high (94.4 percent) study subject matter coverage. The following groups of the models were pointed out in a process of categorization: “harmonic” (these cognitive styles are highly efficient and prove that the style criteria correlate with the basic beliefs and psychological well-being ones); “tending to harmonize” (characterized by the cognitive styles inclusiveness dominating, leading to activity efficiency, but including individual style pole-correctors); “ambivalent” (cognitive style poles inclusiveness dominates, while other poles domination decreases). The following conclusions are made on the basis of statistically significant results: the level and peculiarities of the style poles and students’ psychological well-being and basic beliefs regression equations correlation is the determinant, defining the success of these poles and beliefs directly or indirectly. The results of the research enlarge scientific facts about cognitive styles being predictors of students’ psychological well-being and basic beliefs and make their metacognitive regulation and evaluation possible.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Hoarding Disorder: A Systematic Review

Author(s): Ayça Ezgi Meriçtan,Oya Mortan Sevi / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2019

Although hoarding has been considered as a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder before, some differences that were found lead to reclassify hoarding as a separate disorder under obsessive-compulsive disorder and related disorders in DSM-5. Patients with hoarding disorder have negative feelings like strong fear when considering getting rid of items and exaggerate the importance of possessions. Different cognitive behavioral therapy protocols including individual, group and self-help treatments are used for treating hoarding disorder. The aim of this study is to review empirical studies that were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy for the treatment of hoarding disorder. The 12 studies fitting the search criteria were included in this review and were summarized in terms of their methods used and their therapy characteristic. The studies included in this review suggested that cognitive behavioral therapy for hoarding disorder is effective in decreasing the symptoms of the disorder and/or the accompanying problems like depression and anxiety.

Cognitive Biases in Negotiation - Literature Review

Author(s): Michał Chmielecki / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2020

Objective: The purpose of this paper is also to thoroughly review those studies in the management literature that focused on bias in negotiation and to ascertain a couple of new research trajectories that could be observed as the result. As a matter of fact, a human’s judgment making capacity and behavior could be greatly influenced by cognitive misperceptions thus affecting decisions in negotiations. Whilst Thompson (2006) analytically examined the effects of biased decision-making processes for negotiations, the intention of this paper is to fill the gap through a systematic assessment of the literature. Methodology: I have provided a theoretical background on decision makers’ cognition in this paper to provide context and introduce the research; after which we take a closer look at the literature and discuss its results. Based on this, I noted that limited research, with alternate results were done based on the interaction between biases bothering on mood, culture, personality as well as education and experience on the negotiators’ judgments. Finally, we suggest that future research trajectories might be on multilateral and integrative negotiations, the role of third parties and a better comprehension of the cognitive bias and how to rise above it in negotiations. Findings: Despite the fact that this topic is considered important, it is surprisingly under-researched. Author was able to identify the void and inadequacies of the literature identified in journal articles systemizing the intersection of negotiation studies, from cognitive biases studies, group decision making and from the decision making and judgment literature. Value Added: This paper showed that there are only a handful of papers that focus on why, how and when cognitive biases influence negotiation process. Recommendations: There is a great need for papers that focus on cognitive biases in the negotiation process.

COGNITIVE MODELS IN PLANIMETRIC TASK TEXT PROCESSING

Author(s): Xenia Naidenova,Sergiey Kurbatov,Vyacheslav Ganapolsky / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

A new cognitive approach is proposed for understanding the texts of planimetric tasks and for visualizing the task conditions to complement the syntactic-semantical sentence parsing. Two main difficulties in understanding texts of plane geometry tasks are observed: the ellipticity and vagueness of texts. To overcome the difficulties in understanding the task conditions it is proposed constructing cognitive models of objects and relations between them. The proposed cognitive approach is incorporated in an integrated system for automatic solving planimetric tasks with the natural language interface. The interactive visualization has been developed in the system. It depicts the syntactic and semantic structures as a result of natural language text analysis and searching for task solution. This visualization allows the users to obtain explanations associated with any elements of the images and to correct the tasks’ texts in dialog with the system. The destiny of the system is to serve for training schoolchildren in the domain of Euclidean geometry. The cognitive approach proposed can be a first step to automated analyzing plane geometry texts, in perspective, as a cognitively controlled parsing.

Author(s): Alla Evtyugina,Aizhanna Zhuminova,Elena Grishina,Irina Kondyurina,Marina Sturikova / Language(s): English / Issue: SI/2020

This study is devoted to the foreign language communicative competence development among non-linguistic universities under-graduate students. This research covered the issue of foreign language education based on the cognitive-conceptual model for teaching English to non-linguistic university students. As the main research method, pedagogical modelling was chosen. The experiment was conducted at Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University, Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, and Ural Institute of State Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia among 72 undergraduate students. The results of several curriculum-based tests showed that the percentage of correct determination of expressions with the context available increased from 54% to 93.2% in EG1, and from 41.9 to 85.5% in EG2. The overall students’ understanding of lexical units increased by 39.2% and 43.6%, respectively. The ratio of misunderstanding/understanding of speech utterances increased from 15/7 to 6/16, while the proportion of students who do not use/use various interpretation strategies changed from 8/14 to 3/19. The developed cognitive-conceptual methodology effectiveness for teaching foreign language communicative competence was proven. It can be applied to train students of various specialisations at different university degree levels.
