Generality and specificity in the effects of musical expertise on perception and cognition.
(2015-04)
Performing musicians invest thousands of hours becoming experts in a range of perceptual, attentional, and cognitive skills. The duration and intensity of musicians' training - far greater than that of most educational or ...
Designing for psychological change: individuals' reward and cost valuations in weight management.
(2014-06-26)
BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the psychological constructs that underlie behavior offers valuable design opportunities for persuasive systems. We use the decision theory, which describes how behavior is underpinned by reward-cost ...
Sampling Assumptions Affect Use of Indirect Negative Evidence in Language Learning.
(2016)
A classic debate in cognitive science revolves around understanding how children learn complex linguistic patterns, such as restrictions on verb alternations and contractions, without negative evidence. Recently, probabilistic ...
Monetary cost for time spent in everyday physical activities.
(2014-05)
We measured utility curves for the hypothetical monetary costs as a function of time engaged in three everyday physical activities: walking, standing, and sitting. We found that activities requiring more physical exertion ...
When Absence of Evidence Is Evidence of Absence: Rational Inferences From Absent Data.
(2017-05)
Identifying patterns in the world requires noticing not only unusual occurrences, but also unusual absences. We examined how people learn from absences, manipulating the extent to which an absence is expected. People can ...
Exploring Human Cognition Using Large Image Databases.
(2016-07)
Most cognitive psychology experiments evaluate models of human cognition using a relatively small, well-controlled set of stimuli. This approach stands in contrast to current work in neuroscience, perception, and computer ...
The Appeal to Expert Opinion: Quantitative Support for a Bayesian Network Approach.
(2016-08)
The appeal to expert opinion is an argument form that uses the verdict of an expert to support a position or hypothesis. A previous scheme-based treatment of the argument form is formalized within a Bayesian network that ...
Resting-state brain information flow predicts cognitive flexibility in humans.
(2019-03-07)
The human brain is a dynamic system, where communication between spatially distinct areas facilitates complex cognitive functions and behaviors. How information transfers between brain regions and how it gives rise to human ...
SeqSleepNet: End-to-End Hierarchical Recurrent Neural Network for Sequence-to-Sequence Automatic Sleep Staging.
(2019-03)
Automatic sleep staging has been often treated as a simple classification problem that aims at determining the label of individual target polysomnography epochs one at a time. In this paper, we tackle the task as a ...
