The nature of bad memories is complex and often intertwined with our emotional and psychological well-being. These memories can arise from various life experiences, ranging from minor setbacks to significant traumas. They tend to occupy a prominent space in our minds, sometimes resurfacing unexpectedly and triggering feelings of anxiety, sadness, or anger. Understanding the mechanics of how bad memories are formed and stored can empower individuals to develop strategies for managing their impact on daily life. By recognizing that memories are not fixed but rather malleable, adults can learn to lessen their grip through various cognitive and behavioral techniques.

Free Download Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures 2024
English | 2024 | ISBN: 303176515X | 477 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 89 MB
This book reports on original approaches intended to support the development of biologically inspired cognitive architectures. It bridges together different disciplines, including artificial intelligence, linguistics, neuro- and social sciences, psychology and philosophy of mind, among others. The chapters are based on contributions presented at the 2024 Annual International Conference on Brain-Inspired Cognitive Architectures for Artificial Intelligence (the 15th Annual Meeting of the BICA Society, BICA*AI 2024), organized in collaboration with the 17th Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI 2024) and held on August 13-16, 2024, in Seattle, WA, USA. They cover emerging methods, theories and ideas towards the realization of general-purpose humanlike artificial intelligence or fostering a better understanding of the ways the human mind works. All in all, this book provides engineers, mathematicians, psychologists, computer scientists and other experts with a timely snapshot of recent research and a source of inspiration for future developments in the broadly intended areas of artificial intelligence and biological inspiration.

Truthlikeness for Multidimensional, Quantitative Cognitive Problems


Free Download Truthlikeness for Multidimensional, Quantitative Cognitive Problems By I. A. Kieseppä (auth.)
1996 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 9048146925 | PDF | 16 MB
Philosophers of science have produced a variety of definitions for the notion of one sentence, theory or hypothesis being closer to the truth, more verisimilar, or more truthlike than another one. The definitions put forward by philosophers presuppose at least implicitly that the subject matter with which the compared sentences, theories or hypotheses are concerned has been specified,! and the property of closeness to the truth, verisimilitude or truth likeness appearing in such definitions should be understood as closeness to informative truth about that subject matter. This monograph is concerned with a special case of the problem of defining verisimilitude, a case in which this subject matter is of a rather restricted kind. Below, I shall suppose that there is a finite number of interrelated quantities which are used for characterizing the state of some system. Scientists might arrive at different hypotheses concerning the values of such quantities in a variety of ways. There might be various theories that give different predictions (whose informativeness might differ , too) on which combinations of the values of these quantities are possible. Scientists might also have measured all or some of the quantities in question with some accuracy. Finally, they might also have combined these two methods of forming hypotheses on their values by first measuring some of the quantities and then deducing the values of some others from the combination of a theory and the measurement results.

Music and Schema Theory Cognitive Foundations of Systematic Musicology


Free Download Music and Schema Theory: Cognitive Foundations of Systematic Musicology By Dr. Marc Leman (auth.)
1995 | 234 Pages | ISBN: 3642852157 | PDF | 13 MB
Music and Schema Theory Music is an important domain of application for schema theory. The perceptual structures for pitch and timbre have been mapped via schemata, with results that have contributed to a better understanding of music perception. Yet we still need to know how a schema comes into existence, or how it functions in a particular perception task. This book provides a foundation for the understanding of the emergance and functionality of schemata by means of computer-based simulations of tone center perception. It is about how memory structures self-organize and how they use contextual information to guide perception.

Cognitive Grammar in Stylistics A Practical Guide Ed 2


Free Download Marcello Giovanelli, "Cognitive Grammar in Stylistics: A Practical Guide Ed 2"
English | ISBN: 1350355461 | 2024 | 254 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Providing an engaging, accessible and practically-focused introduction to cognitive grammar, this book demonstrates how central cognitive grammar principles can be used in stylistic analyses. Assuming no prior knowledge, it leads students through the basics of cognitive grammar, outlining its place within the field of cognitive linguistics as a whole, providing clear explanations of key principles and concepts, and explaining how these can be used to support the study of a range of literary and non-literary texts. Thoroughly updated throughout to encompass emerging trends in the field, this second edition features: – Increased exploration of a range of topics, including specificity and definiteness, scanning, perfective and imperfective verbs, action chains, and subjective and objective construal – A brand new chapter on extended projects in cognitive grammar – Additional activities, including on a wider range of literary texts – Further solutions to modelled answers – Updated examples, references, and further reading recommendations Presenting cognitive grammar as a powerful alternative to more traditional grammatical models to enable the analysis of texts, the book’s primary focus is on the practical application of cognitive grammar to examples of language in context and on its potential for specifically literary and non-literary material. It offers a clear and facilitating approach to allow students to describe language features carefully and to explore how these descriptions can be developed into full and rich analyses.
