Debra S. Osborn; Sabrina N. Quiroga; Edwin Tang; Lyds J. Sherman; Nicholas H. Reese; Khyati Verma; Laura R. Marks – Journal of Career Development, 2024
Social identities impact the way individuals see themselves and their career options but career theories have been slow to the call in exploring how social identities interface with theoretical assumptions. The purpose of this study was to examine how social identities affect and inform specific dimensions identified by cognitive information…

Talman, Kirsi; Vierula, Jonna; Kanerva, Anne-Maria; Virkki, Outi; Koivisto, Jaana-Maija; Haavisto, Elina – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2021
Reasoning skills are needed in the future work life. As such, it is important that reasoning skills be assessed in higher education, both in the selection phase and during education. This study aims to describe the instruments that are used to assess reasoning skills in higher education. The ultimate goal is to provide information upon which…

James P. Sampson Jr. Ed.; Janet G. Lenz Ed.; Emily Bullock-Yowell Ed.; Debra S. Osborn Ed.; Seth C. W. Hayden Ed. – Online Submission, 2023
This book's aim is to improve the integration of Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) theory, research, and practice, leading to more cost-effective career interventions that help persons to make informed and careful career decisions over a lifetime. The starting point for the book's content was the 2004 Sampson, Reardon, Peterson, and Lenz…

Haupt, Grietjie – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2015
Empirical evidence on the way in which expert designers from different domains cognitively connect their internal processes with external resources is presented in the context of an extended cognition model. The article focuses briefly on the main trends in the extended design cognition theory and in particular on recent trends in information…

Jepma, Marieke; Wagenmakers, Eric-Jan; Nieuwenhuis, Sander – Cognition, 2012
People are able to use temporal cues to anticipate the timing of an event, enabling them to process that event more efficiently. We conducted two experiments, using the fixed-foreperiod paradigm (Experiment 1) and the temporal-cueing paradigm (Experiment 2), to assess which components of information processing are speeded when subjects use such…

Mussweiler, Thomas; Posten, Ann-Christin – Cognition, 2012
Comparison is one of the most ubiquitous and versatile mechanisms in human information processing. Previous research demonstrates that one consequence of comparative thinking is increased judgmental efficiency: Comparison allows for quicker judgments without a loss in accuracy. We hypothesised that a second potential consequence of comparative…

Govaerts, M. J. B.; Schuwirth, L. W. T.; Van der Vleuten, C. P. M.; Muijtjens, A. M. M. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2011
Traditional psychometric approaches towards assessment tend to focus exclusively on quantitative properties of assessment outcomes. This may limit more meaningful educational approaches towards workplace-based assessment (WBA). Cognition-based models of WBA argue that assessment outcomes are determined by cognitive processes by raters which are…

Frederiksen, Christian; Kehoe, E. James; Wood, Robert – Learning and Instruction, 2011
This study tested the effects of two instructional aids in a complex, dynamic environment, specifically, a business simulation. Participants studied (1) a "causal map," which depicted key variables in an interconnected network, (2) a textual outline of the same relationships, or (3) no-aid. With the relevant aid still available, the participants…

Fific, Mario; Townsend, James T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
Failure to selectively attend to a facial feature, in the part-to-whole paradigm, has been taken as evidence of holistic perception in a large body of face perception literature. In this article, we demonstrate that although failure of selective attention is a necessary property of holistic perception, its presence alone is not sufficient to…

Hack, Johannes; Memmert, Daniel; Rup, Andre – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2009
In this study, we examined attention processes in complex, sport-specific decision-making tasks without interdependencies from anticipation. Psychophysiological and performance data recorded from advanced and intermediate level basketball referees were compared. Event-related potentials obtained while judging game situations in foul recognition…

Bond, Samuel D.; Carlson, Kurt A.; Meloy, Margaret G.; Russo, J. Edward; Tanner, Robin J. – Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2007
Extending previous work on biased predecisional processing, we investigate the distortion of information during the evaluation of a single option. A coherence-based account of the evaluation task suggests that individuals will form an initial assessment of favorability toward the option and then bias their evaluation of subsequent information to…

Hwang, Mark I.; Lin, Jerry W. – Journal of Information Science, 1999
A meta-analysis of 31 experiments reported in 18 empirical bankruptcy prediction studies was conducted to test the effect of two information dimensions: information diversity and information repetitiveness. Results indicated that both information dimensions have an adverse impact on decision quality: provision of either diverse or repeated…

de Jocas, Yves – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1987
Decisions assume some level of interdependency between knowledge and know-how, these being distinct realities. Knowledge refers to the understanding one has of a phenomenon while know-how refers to one's capability of actions on a phenomenon. Information can be related to decision only by transforming data which is held in a semiotic memory into…

Lejeune, Miguel A. P. M. – Internet Research, 2001
Churn management is a concern for businesses, particularly in the digital economy. A customer relationship framework is proposed to help deal with churn issues. The model integrates the electronic channel and involves four tools for enhancing data collection, data treatment, data analysis and data integration in the decision-making process.…

Anderson, John R.; Kline, Paul J. – 1977
This report describes several of the design decisions underlying ACT, a production system model of human cognition. ACT can be considered a high level computer programming language as well as a theory of the cognitive mechanisms underlying human information processing. ACT design decisions were based on both psychological and artificial…
