The Micro-Category account of analogy.
21 May 2007 
Here, we investigate how activation of mental representations of categories during analogical reasoning influences subsequent cognitive processing. Specifically, we present and test the central predictions of the "Micro-Category" account of analogy. ...

8 May 2007 Latino student access to higher education has received significant national attention in recent years. This article describes a theory-based evaluation approach used with ENLACE of Hillsborough, a 5-year project funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation ...

Insights into the concept of fish welfare.
2 May 2007 Fish welfare issues are predicated on understanding whether fish are sentient beings. Therefore, we analyzed the logic of the methodologies used for studying this attribute. We conclude that empirical science is unable to prove or to disprove that ...

2 May 2007 Our interactions with fish cover a wide range of activities including enjoying them as pets to consuming them as food. I propose that we confine the consideration of the welfare of fish to their physiology, and not join the discussion on whether ...

Effects of cognitive training on change in accuracy in inductive reasoning ability.
29 Apr 2007 We investigated cognitive training effects on accuracy and number of items attempted in inductive reasoning performance in a sample of 335 older participants (M = 72.78 years) from the Seattle Longitudinal Study. We assessed the impact of individual ...

Ghosts, UFOs, and magic: positive affect and the experiential system.
29 Apr 2007 Three studies examined the potential interactions of the experiential system and positive affect (PA) in predicting superstitious beliefs and sympathetic magic. In Study 1, experientiality and induced positive mood interacted to predict the ...

A novel logic-based approach for quantitative toxicology prediction.
22 Apr 2007 There is a pressing need for accurate in silico methods to predict the toxicity of molecules that are being introduced into the environment or are being developed into new pharmaceuticals. Predictive toxicology is in the realm of structure activity ...

Human relational memory requires time and sleep.
18 Apr 2007 
Relational memory, the flexible ability to generalize across existing stores of information, is a fundamental property of human cognition. Little is known, however, about how and when this inferential knowledge emerges. Here, we test the hypothesis ...

Spatial location and its relevance for terminological inferences in bio-ontologies.
18 Apr 2007 BACKGROUND: An adequate and expressive ontological representation of biological organisms and their parts requires formal reasoning mechanisms for their relations of physical aggregation and containment. RESULTS: We demonstrate that the proposed ...

Logical properties of foundational relations in bio-ontologies.
8 Apr 2007 OBJECTIVE: We compare the advantages of specifying the semantics of foundational relations in bio-medical terminology systems using different types of formal deductive systems: first-order logic (FOL) and description logics (DLs). METHOD: As our ...
