What types of research projects can you think of Cognitive Science?

For example, an example of a very famous research project is Dr. Rosalind Picard's Affective computing and autism project. Can you think of 5 research projects that are Cognitive Science research projects? Please include the name of the professor and the name of the university where the research project is being conducted.

Design a nested struct to store information on constellations for a rocket design company. Each structure should store the constellation's name and information on the stars in the constellation. The structure for the star information should include the star's name, core temperature, distance from the sun, and whether it is a binary star or not. Create variables and sample data for your data structure.

Discussion-Emergent Literacy and Mathematics

Share two activities you would design to foster emergent literacy in the preschool classroom (e.g., writing each kids' name on the board every day so they begin to recognize the look of their name). Also list two activities for promoting emergent mathematics in the classroom. Write 2-3 paragraph to discuss about this.

Zynga, located in San Francisco, California, had become a dominant player in the online gaming field, almost entirely through the use of social media platforms. The company name was established by the founder and original CEO, Mark Pincus, to pay tribute to his late beloved pet bulldog, named Zinga. Although this seems whimsical, Zynga had quickly become a powerful company. To exemplify Zynga’s prominence, Facebook was reported to have earned roughly 12 percent of its 2011 revenue from the operations of Zynga’s virtual merchandise sales. On the basis of this success, Zynga had gone public in December of 2011.

Zynga had been a dominant force, but had lost market share in recent years due to the absence of a new and innovative product pipeline. Lack of new product-driven growth had led to uneven revenues, with significant losses – over $108 million in 2016. Even though Zynga had released some new mobile games, which accounted for 73 percent of the company’s revenue in 2015, this was not enough to reverse declines from the existing product lineup.

Zynga’s long term viability may be at risk because of questionable decision making. Many of Zynga’s competitors, and even some partners, had been displeased with the company’s actions and had shown it in the form of litigation. Agincourt, a plaintiff of a lawsuit brought against Zynga, was quoted as saying, “Zynga’s remarkable growth has not been driven by its own ingenuity. Rather it has been widely reported that Zynga’s business model is to copy creative ideas and game designs from other game developers and then use its market power to bulldoze the games’ originators.” Zynga had been accused of copyright infringement, breach of written contract, and, internally, had a reputation for a risk-averse company culture that failed to reward innovation and creativity. Regarding its users, complaint resolution consisted of email-only support, and there was concern that customer information was not being properly protected against unauthorized access.

To make matters worse, Zynga had had four CEO changes since 2013, with the most recent one, Frank Gibeau from Electronic Arts, installed in March of 2016, now expected to turn the company around. Although Zynga had once been a dominant force on Facebook, by 2016 it had failed to surface in the top 5 virtual-gaming rankings, with users increasingly choosing to play King Company’s Candy Crush Saga and others.

As Zynga looks to the future, where will its next big hit come from? With all the criticism aimed at Zynga’s past behavior, will the company continue on the path it has become notorious for and reap further accusations of imitating its competitors’ games and putting customers potentially at risk? Or will Zynga change its approach, gain a reputation for intellectual integrity and begin creating true one-of-a-kind games—showing its capa­bilities as a leader in the industry rather than a follower?

The term “framing effect” as applied to the Asian Disease Problem experiment refers to:

the limitations that cognitive bias in the brain places on the decision to purchase health insurance.

the effect of “fast” versus “slow” cognitive systems in the brain on health behaviors.

a preference reversal that depends on whether an outcome is presented as risk-averse or risk-seeking.

You have an experiment with 7 factors (ABCDEFG). The design would be run in 8 blocks. When you know that CDEF, ABC, CDEF are generators 1) define the blocks regarding your generators.

2) define which block contain these treatments: bd,bdeg, def, abcdg.

3) Write the defining relationship and alias relationship for A.

4) Are these generators good? Why?

Suppose that there is a white urn containing two white balls and three red balls and there is a red urn containing two white balls and four red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then​ (without replacing the first​ ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red.
