In an Era characterized by the pervasive influence of digital technology in every facet of our lives, the book “Human cognition: In the Digital Era” emerges as a critical exploration of the intricate relationship between Human Cognitive processes and the Digital landscape that envelops us. The aim of the book is to provide essential insights for navigating our digital future, fostering an understanding of how cognitive faculties adapt and evolve. Organized into six sections, the book delves into key topics. Section I: Digital Detox and Cognitive Rejuvenation examines the importance of disconnecting from devices to restore mental health. Section II: Digital Exposure and Learning focuses on how screen exposure affects cognitive development, especially in children, and the cognitive challenges posed by online learning post-COVID. Section III: Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Adaptation investigates AI’s influence on decision-making, cognitive diversity, and errors in cybercrime. Section IV: Digital Interactions and Relationships explores online identity, parasocial relationships, and their impact on social cognition. Section V: Digital Marketing and Cognitive Automation analyzes the cognitive mechanisms behind consumer behavior in the digital economy. Section VI: Diverse Perspectives on Digital Engagement and Cognition highlights digital mental health interventions and smartphone usage effects on mindfulness in adolescents. This book is designed for academician, researchers, policy makers, students, and anyone interested in the profound ways digital technology is shaping human thought and behavior. This book’s unique contribution lies in its ability to foster a deeper comprehension of the transformative power of the digital era on human cognition

Technology is developing rapidly. It is an essential part of how we live our daily lives – in a mental and physical sense, and in professional and personal environments. Cybercognition explores the ideas of technology addiction, brain training and much more, and will provide students with a guide to understanding concepts related to the online world. It answers important questions: What is the impact of digital technology on our learning, memory, attention, problem-solving and decision making? If we continue to use digital technology on a large scale, can it change the way we think? Can human cognition keep up with technology? Suitable for students on Cyberpsychology and Cognitive Psychology courses at all levels, as well as anyone with an inquiring mind.

Innovations in Artificial Intelligence and Human Computer Interaction in the Digital Era investigates the interaction and growing interdependency of the HCI and AI fields, which are not usually addressed in traditional approaches. Chapters explore how well AI can interact with users based on linguistics and user-centered design processes, especially with the advances of AI and the hype around many applications. Other sections investigate how HCI and AI can mutually benefit from a closer association and the how the AI community can improve their usage of HCI methods like "Wizard of Oz prototyping and "Thinking aloud protocols. Moreover, HCI can further augment human capabilities using new technologies. This book demonstrates how an interdisciplinary team of HCI and AI researchers can develop extraordinary applications, such as improved education systems, smart homes, smart healthcare and map Human Computer Interaction (HCI) for a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design of computer technology and the interaction between users and computers in different domains. - Presents fundamental concepts of both HCI and AI, addressing a multidisciplinary audience of researchers and engineers working on User Centered Design (UCD), User Interface (UI) design, and User Experience (UX) design - Explores a broad range of case studies from across healthcare, industry, and education - Investigates multiple strategies for designing and developing intelligent user interfaces to solve real-world problems - Outlines research challenges and future directions for the intersection of AI and HCI

Massive changes are taking place in society surrounding the delivery of information to individuals and the way they process this information. At work, at home, and in schools, the Internet and the World Wide Web are altering the individual's work, his leisure time, her workplace, and their educational environments. All of these changes and their consequences have traditionally been investigated largely within the domain of sociology, semiotics, mass communication, and computer science. The perspective from cognitive psychology has been lacking. The purpose of this volume is to fill this gap. The focus of the book is the cognitive effects of the modern digital environment. In addition, questions are raised about what cognitive conditions must exist for adequately processing information in multimedia environments. Internet use routinely involves the exchange of factual information but also a large amount of information with an interpersonal character is communicated. A socio-psychological perspective is needed to understand both kinds of communication, also to be able to design appropriate support tools. In Cognition in a Digital World, the emphasis is on the psychological analysis of interactive and continuing communication and discourse, rather than on the technical aspects of the individual's interaction at the interface. The three main themes of this volume are: *conditions and consequences of multimedia information processing by the individual; *socio-psychological characteristics of information transfer over the World Wide Web; and *analysis of computer-mediated collaborative communication. Cognition in a Digital World will be of interest to a wide audience of researchers and students in the fields of cognitive science, education, communication sciences, computer science and the arts (discourse analysis).

Cognitive Computing for Human-Robot Interaction: Principles and Practices explores the efforts that should ultimately enable society to take advantage of the often-heralded potential of robots to provide economical and sustainable computing applications. This book discusses each of these applications, presents working implementations, and combines coherent and original deliberative architecture for human–robot interactions (HRI). Supported by experimental results, it shows how explicit knowledge management promises to be instrumental in building richer and more natural HRI, by pushing for pervasive, human-level semantics within the robot's deliberative system for sustainable computing applications. This book will be of special interest to academics, postgraduate students, and researchers working in the area of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Key features: - Introduces several new contributions to the representation and management of humans in autonomous robotic systems; - Explores the potential of cognitive computing, robots, and HRI to generate a deeper understanding and to provide a better contribution from robots to society; - Engages with the potential repercussions of cognitive computing and HRI in the real world. - Introduces several new contributions to the representation and management of humans in an autonomous robotic system - Explores cognitive computing, robots and HRI, presenting a more in-depth understanding to make robots better for society - Gives a challenging approach to those several repercussions of cognitive computing and HRI in the actual global scenario

This collected volume brings together the contributions of several humanities scholars who focus on the evolution of language in the digital era. The first part of the volume explores general aspects of humanities and linguistics in the digital environment. The second part focuses on language and translation and includes topics that discuss the digital translation policy, new technologies and specialised translation, online resources for terminology management, translation of online advertising, or subtitling. The last part of the book focuses on language teaching and learning and addresses the changes, challenges and perspectives of didactics in the age of technology. Each contribution is divided into several sections that present the state of the art and the methodology used, and discuss the results and perspectives of the authors. The book is recommended to scholars, professionals, students and anyone interested in the changes within the humanities in conjunction with technological innovation or in the ways language is adapting to the challenges of today’s digitized world.
