1. 1. Cognition in black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi): A battery of behavioral tests

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Tiffany Claire Bosshard; [2020]
   Keywords : cognition; behavior; object permanence; associative learning; quantity discrimination; numerosity; long-term memory; spider monkey;

   Abstract : Cognition allows animals to acquire, process, and store sensory information from the environment and use it to adapt to their surroundings. A battery of behavioral tests was used to assess the cognitive abilities of black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi). READ MORE

3. 2. Neural Substrates Correlated with Magnitude Processing in Children and Adults : An fMRI study examining the Triple Code Model of numerical cognition

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för beteendevetenskap och lärande

   Author : Eva Riddervold Sandberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Triple Code Model TCM ; numerical cognition; magnitude processing; approximate number sense ANS ; developmental trajectories; children; adults;

   Abstract : The Triple Code Model (TCM) of numerical cognition has become one of the most predominantly theories for how humans perceive, manipulate, and communicate numerical information. It builds on the notion that there exist three functionally distinct but neurologically connected codes that handle manipulations of different numerical input (non-symbolic magnitudes, symbolic representations, and verbal number words).

4. 3. Capability Perception of an Electric Utilityduring Sectoral Change towards Sustainability

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

   Author : Christopher Politano; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis examines the antecedents of employees’ capability cognition within a medium-sized electricity utility (Ntot 􀵎 1200) in German-speaking Switzerland. The firm implemented a new strategy in 2015 with the aim to shift its core capabilities towards sustainability. READ MORE

5. 4. Never Mind(set) the Number: A study on numerical construal in the mind of a consumer

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för marknadsföring och strategi

   Author : Izabell Jissbom; Matilda Björklund; [2018]
   Keywords : Construal Level Theory; Numerical Cognition; Product Performance; Brand Liking; Mindset;

   Abstract : Companies are constantly competing to breach out with their marketing communication to reach customers' attention. The landscape is a highly competitive one and to disrupt it various tactical strategies need to be utilized. Such strategies include various practices of new product announcements, e.g. READ MORE

6. 5. Nature and Nurture in Numerical Cognition : Investigating the Idea of a Generalized Magnitude System for Number, Space, and Time

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

   Author : Mikael Skagenholt; [2014]
   Keywords : Cognitive Science; Generalized Magnitude System; fMRI; ATOM; A Theory of Magnitude; Nature and Nurture; Numerical Cognition;

   Abstract : Current research in the field of numerical cognition reveals strong behavioral interactions and similar processing mechanisms for the perceptions of space, time, and number; which is generally believed to indicate that these dimensions share a common metric for representation in the brain. These three dimensions of magnitude––analog, ratio dependent representations of space, time, and number––are essential for interaction with the environment, and provide a conceptual basis on which further perceptual experience enhances the discrimination of distance, speed, numerosity, quantity, and size.
