A subset of individuals with learning disabilities is currently prevented from accessing postsecondary education; these individuals experience general learning disabilities, or GLD (Greenspan, 2017, p. 117). GLD is not a formal disability category in K-12 special education; individual students might not be eligible for academic supports and accommodations in K-12 or in postsecondary education based on this description. Individuals with GLD encounter significant barriers both accessing and finding success in postsecondary education. Qualitative research involving adults with GLD is lacking in available literature, as is theoretical analysis of their experiences. My research is a phenomenological study based on the experiences …
On The Use Of Introspection In The Study Of Consciousness, Yaojun Lu
On The Use Of Introspection In The Study Of Consciousness, Yaojun Lu
Dissertations - ALL
For the past half century, introspection has once again become a trusted source of knowledge in the study of consciousness. Some philosophers reflect on their own consciousness to draw metaphysical conclusions; some psychologists hypothesize observable regularities of consciousness by collecting introspective reports. They operate under the doctrine that first-person perspective provides a privileged access to the conscious mind. This dissertation is a critical examination of the use of introspection in the scientific and metaphysical study of consciousness. I first develop classic criticism of the privileged access, with a diagnosis of the failure of introspective psychology and a reflection on the …

Citation Practices Of Contrasting Cultures In Q1 Journal Articles, April Rose C. Gonzales
Sinaya: A Philippine Journal for Senior High School Teachers and Students
Citation is a distinguishing feature in research writing that every researcher must include to ensure credible ethical research. Citing sources is necessary as it provides credit to the original author, refers to previous findings, sets credibility, and enables sustainability of the topic. However, studies least consider culture as an element that influences citation beliefs and practices. Most literature holds a lack of language proficiency as the culprit for poor citation skills. Drawing from Hofstede's Cultural Dimension theory (2011) and Lewis’ (2006) Cultural Behaviour in Relation to Writing, this study explores the influence of culture on citation practices with the hope …

Cognitive Load Classification From Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Data, Jiyang Wang
Cognitive Load Classification From Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Data, Jiyang Wang
Dissertations - ALL
Predicting cognitive workload using physiological sensors, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), has gained significant attention in recent years. However, many existing methods are limited by small datasets and narrow brain channel coverage, restricting their generalizability across participants, tasks, and sessions. In this thesis, we introduce two innovative approaches aimed at overcoming these limitations: a CNN-BiGRU model with self-supervised label augmentation (SLA) and a block-wise domain adaptation method (BWise-DA). Our CNN-BiGRU-SLA model, grounded in cognitive load theory, leverages attention mechanisms and multi-label classification to predict working memory load (WML) and visual processing load (VPL) across multiple participants and sessions. Using …

The Encoding Of Decision Variables In Orbitofrontal Cortex (Ofc) Is Longitudinally Stable And Varies By Cortical Layer, Manning Zhang
McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations
Economic choices entail computing the values of different options and then making choice by comparing values. Work in primates and rodents has shown that these mental processes rely on the OFC. Neurophysiology studies identified in OFC distinct groups of neurons encoding the value of individual options, the binary choice outcome, and the chosen value. These variables capture both the input and the output of the decision process, suggesting a decision circuit existing in OFC. A primary challenge for the field is to assess the structure and mechanisms governing this circuit. A first fundamental question is whether the circuit is stable …
