  1. 1. Working Memory and Higher-Order Cognition in Children

    Författare :Carin Tillman; Gunilla Bohlin; Ann-Margret Rydell; John Towse; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Intelligence; executive function EF ; working memory; ADHD; children; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Higher-order cognitive functions, such as executive function (EF) and intelligence, are crucial to the everyday functioning of human beings. Gaining knowledge about these functions is important for our general understanding of human nature as well as for our ability to help those who may not develop these processes optimally. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Rough surfaces in contact : artificial intelligence and boundary lubrication

    Författare :Marco Rapetto; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Elements; Maskinelement;

    Sammanfattning : Interacting surfaces are found in mechanical systems and components. Since engineered surfaces are not perfectly smooth, only a fraction of the nominal surface area is actually in contact. This fraction is denoted as the real area of contact, Ar, and is formed by the sum of the contact spots between the two touching surfaces. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Dynamic Development of Cognitive and Socioemotional Traits and Their Effects on School Grades and Risk of Unemployment : A Test of the Investment Theory

    Författare :Elias Johannesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Fluid intelligence Gf ; Crystallized intelligence Gc ; cognitive abilities; socioemotional traits; academic achievement; unemployment; discrete-time survival analysis;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to examine the dynamic development of cognitive and socioemotional traits and how these traits influence academic achievement and predict risk of unemployment. Data was retrieved from the Evaluation Through Following-up (ETF) database. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Investigating the role of spatial ability as a factor of human intelligence in technology education : Towards a causal theory of the relationship between spatial ability and STEM education

    Författare :Jeffrey Buckley; Niall Seery; Donal Canty; Lena Gumaelius; David Spendlove; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Education is a particularly complex discipline due to the numerous variables which impact on teaching and learning. Due to the large effect of human intelligence on the variance in student educational achievement, there is a substantial need to further contemporary understandings of its role in education. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Cognitive abilities - aspects of structure, process and measurement

    Författare :Berit Carlstedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cognitive abilities; factor models of intelligence; Enlistment battery; hierarchical models; item sequencing; construct validity; differentiation hypothesis; test evaluation; structural equation modeling;

    Sammanfattning : The overall purpose of the thesis is to describe the development of the Swedish system of measuring cognitive abilities applied at enlistment of conscripts. The Enlistment Battery has been used for more than fifty years to classify 18-year old men into military positions for their compulsory service. LÄS MER
