This book introduces the concept of a hypothetical type of knowledge construction -- referred to as structural knowledge -- that goes beyond traditional forms of information recall to provide the bases for knowledge application. Assuming that the validity of the concept is accepted, the volume functions as a handbook for supporting the assessment and use of structural knowledge in learning and instructional settings. It's descriptions are direct and short, and its structure is consistent. Almost all of the chapters describe a technique for representing and assessing structural knowledge acquisition, conveying knowledge structures through direct instruction, or providing learners with strategies that they may use to acquire structural knowledge. These chapters include the following sections in the same sequence: * description of the technique and its theoretical or conceptual rationale * examples and applications * procedures for development and use * effectiveness -- learner interactions and differences, and advantages and disadvantages * references to the literature. The chapters are structured to facilitate access to information as well as to illuminate comparisons and contrasts among the techniques.

The multiple, related fields encompassed by this Major Reference Work represent a convergence of issues and topics germane to the rapidly changing segments of knowledge and practice in educational communications and technology at all levels and around the globe. There is no other comparable work that is designed not only to gather vital, current, and evolving information and understandings in these knowledge segments but also to be updated on a continuing basis in order to keep pace with the rapid changes taking place in the relevant fields. The Handbook is composed of substantive (5,000 to 15,000 words), peer-reviewed entries that examine and explicate seminal facets of learning theory, research, and practice. It provides a broad range of relevant topics, including significant developments as well as innovative uses of technology that promote learning, performance, and instruction. This work is aimed at researchers, designers, developers, instructors, and other professional practitioners.

The phenomenon of consciousness has always been a central question for philosophers and scientists. Emerging in the past decade are new approaches to the understanding of consciousness in a scientific light. This book presents a series of essays by leading thinkers giving an account of the current ideas prevalent in the scientific study of consciousness. The value of the book lies in the discussion of this interesting though complex subject from different points of view ranging from physics and computer science to the cognitive sciences. Reviews of controversial ideas related to the philosophy of mind from western and eastern sources including classical Indian first person methodologies provide a breadth of coverage that has seldom been attempted in a book before. Additionally, chapters relating to the new approaches in computational modeling of higher order cognitive function and consciousness are included. The book is of great value for established as well as young researchers from a wide cross-section of interdisciplinary scientific backgrounds, aiming to pursue research in this field, as well as an informed public. Presents the latest developments in the scientific study of consciousness Critically reviews different theoretical and philosophical explanations related to the subject An important book for both students and researchers in designing research projects on consciousness

Cognitive Science, Computational Intelligence, and Data Analytics: Methods and Applications with Python introduces readers to the foundational concepts of data analysis, cognitive science, and computational intelligence, including AI and Machine Learning. The book's focus is on fundamental ideas, procedures, and computational intelligence tools that can be applied to a wide range of data analysis approaches, with applications that include mathematical programming, evolutionary simulation, machine learning, and logic-based models. It offers readers the fundamental and practical aspects of cognitive science and data analysis, exploring data analytics in terms of description, evolution, and applicability in real-life problems. The authors cover the history and evolution of cognitive analytics, methodological concerns in philosophy, syntax and semantics, understanding of generative linguistics, theory of memory and processing theory, structured and unstructured data, qualitative and quantitative data, measurement of variables, nominal, ordinals, intervals, and ratio scale data. The content in this book is tailored to the reader's needs in terms of both type and fundamentals, including coverage of multivariate analysis, CRISP methodology and SEMMA methodology. Each chapter provides practical, hands-on learning with real-world applications, including case studies and Python programs related to the key concepts being presented. Demystifies the theory of data analytics using a step-by-step approach Covers the intersection of cognitive science, computational intelligence, and data analytics by providing examples and case studies with applied algorithms, mathematics, and Python programming code Introduces foundational data analytics techniques such as CRISP-DM, SEMMA, and Object Detection Models in the context of computational intelligence methods and tools Covers key concepts of multivariate and cognitive data analytics such as factor analytics, principal component analytics, linear regression analysis, logistic regression analysis, and value chain applications
