With the increasing complexity of optimization problems, existing methods are often inadequate for addressing these challenges, creating a pressing need for more versatile and robust approaches capable of solving a wide range of optimization problems. Meta-heuristic algorithms have become powerful tools in this regard…

This study aims to determine how higher-order thinking skills-namely creative thinking, critical thinking, metacognitive thinking, and empathic thinking-impact the academic achievement of pre-service teachers at both low and high levels. The study was conducted using the predictive model. The case sampling method, a…

The development of a vaccine marks a breakthrough in the fight against infectious diseases. However, to eradicate highly infectious diseases globally, the immunization of large parts of the population is needed. Otherwise, diseases, such as polio, measles, or more recently COVID-19, will repeatedly flare-up, with…

Interaction Authors: ['Koji Yatani' 'Zefan Sramek' 'Chi-Lan Yang'] As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including generative AI, continue to evolve, concerns have arisen about over-reliance on AI, which may lead to human deskilling and diminished cognitive engagement. Over-reliance on AI can also lead users to…

'Cynthia Dong'] The present study aimed to determine the variations between higher-order thinking skills (critical, creative, and empathetic thinking) of the teachers based on institution, branch, and professional seniority. The study data were collected from 345 teachers with the Critical Thinking Tendency Scale…

Critical thinking, creative thinking, problem solving and other so-called higher-order thinking skills are regarded as crucial for students to develop. Research shows that technology can be used as a tool to stimulate students’ higher-order thinking skills. However, most teachers rarely use new technology to stimulate…

'Matthew Nyaaba' 'Arne Bewerdorff' 'Xiantong Yang' 'Xiaoming Zhaı'] This study evaluates the performance of OpenAI's o1-preview model in higher-order cognitive domains, including critical thinking, systematic thinking, computational thinking, data literacy, creative thinking, logical reasoning, and scientific…

We show that on an arbitrary collection of objects there is a wide variety of higher order architectures governed by hyperstructures. Higher order gluing, local to global processes, fusion of collections, bridges and higher order types are discussed. We think that these types of architectures may have interesting…

In 1936 Turing developed the definitive theory of universal classical computers. His motivation was not to build such a computer, but only to use the theory abstractly to study the nature of mathematical proof. And when the first universal computers were built, a few years later, it was, again, not out of any special…

Hyperstructures and their hierarchical extensions [1]—SuperHyperStructures—provide a versatile formalism for modeling multi-layered and complex phenomena [2, 3]. A MicroStructure is a measurable mapping that assigns to each material point a single local state, representing attributes such as phase, crystal orientation…

In philosophy and science, a first principle is a basic proposition or assumption that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption. Ancient Greek philosophy Aristotle defined the first principle as “the first basis from which a thing is known.” First principles thinking (or reasoning from first…

Human brain imaging typically employs structured and controlled tasks to avoid variable and inconsistent activation patterns. Here we argue against this assumption by showing that an extremely open-ended, high level cognitive task-loosely defined as “abstract thinking” leads to a precise, and highly consistent…

This paper seeks to evaluate experiential facets of thinking action using first-person phenomenological methods. We begin our considerations using a simple mathematical proof as a case study-and also employ phenomenological contrasts between different types of thinking. They reveal that thinking actions produce…

A general mathematical description of the way the brain encodes ordinal knowledge of sequences is still lacking. Coherently with the well-established idea of mixed selectivity in high-dimensional state spaces, we conjectured the existence of a linear solution for serial learning tasks. In this theoretical framework…

Previous studies have demonstrated that thinking dispositions and working memory are closely related to students’ critical thinking ability. However, little is known about whether bidirectionality between thinking dispositions, working memory, and critical thinking ability exists in adolescence. This study, therefore…

The ability to generate novel creative ideas (divergent thinking) is closely linked with our ability to imagine novel future events (episodic simulation). Here, we employed an individual differences approach to examine whether divergent thinking and episodic simulation are differentially associated with episodic and…

The complexity of information encoded in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra provides both tremendous opportunities and challenges for molecular characterization. While conventional SERS studies focus on the spectral window below 2000 cm⁻¹, higher-order transitions, including overtones and combination…

Resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC)—brain connectivity observed when people rest with no external tasks—predicts individual differences in behavior. Yet, rest is not idle; it involves streams of thoughts. Are these ongoing thoughts reflected in rsFC? To test this question, we developed a novel annotated rest…

Experience is not always tied to events taking place in the environment. We often generate thoughts, images and feelings unrelated to the events in the here and now. Important aspects of these self-generated experiences are stable over time within an individual but are also associated with various dispositional traits…

The role of computing in the chemical sciences is changing. Previously the domain of the theoretical or computational chemist, advanced digital skills, including data analysis and simulation, are becoming extremely relevant to all. Here, we discuss the importance of integrating computing and digital skills into an…
