Conceptual Design of a Creative Artificial Intelligence System Based on the Neurocognitive Bases of Human Creativity in the Brain
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
De Garrido, Luis – Creativity Research Journal, 2022
The main objective of this paper is the conceptual design of a computational AI system that emulates human creativity. To do this, extensive research has been done on recent discoveries about the neural bases of human creativity. As a result, eleven neurocognitive factors have been identified on which the tremendous creative capacity of the human…

Kuldas, Seffetullah; Bakar, Zainudin Abu; Ismail, Hairul Nizam – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2012
This review investigates how the unconscious information processing can create satisfactory learning outcomes, and can be used to ameliorate the challenges of teaching students to regulate their learning processes. The search for the ideal model of human information processing as regards achievement of teaching and learning objectives is a…

A Computational Account of Children's Analogical Reasoning: Balancing Inhibitory Control in Working Memory and Relational Representation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Morrison, Robert G.; Doumas, Leonidas A. A.; Richland, Lindsey E. – Developmental Science, 2011
Theories accounting for the development of analogical reasoning tend to emphasize either the centrality of relational knowledge accretion or changes in information processing capability. Simulations in LISA (Hummel & Holyoak, 1997, 2003), a neurally inspired computer model of analogical reasoning, allow us to explore how these factors may…

Specific and Nonspecific Neural Activity during Selective Processing of Visual Representations in Working Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Oh, Hwamee; Leung, Hoi-Chung – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010
In this fMRI study, we investigated prefrontal cortex (PFC) and visual association regions during selective information processing. We recorded behavioral responses and neural activity during a delayed recognition task with a cue presented during the delay period. A specific cue ("Face" or "Scene") was used to indicate which one of the two…

Working Memory and Science Education: Exploring the Compatibility of Theoretical Approaches
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
St. Clair-Thompson, H. L.; Botton, C. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2009
Research in science education has referred to limitations in information processing resulting from both mental capacity and working memory capacity. Mental capacity is often conceptualised within the framework of the theory of constructive operators. However, the cognitive resources underlying working memory are not well specified within the…

The Learning Helix.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Pettersson, Rune – 1995
This paper discusses a mental model of learning based on the processes of attention, perception, processing, and application. The learning process starts with attention, such as curiosity, excitement, expectation, or fear; in pedagogy this is called motivation. New impressions are dependent on and interpreted against the background of previous…
