Text messaging-based conversational agents (CAs) make an interesting use of natural language processing and improve by learning, allowing coherent two-way communication with humans, either oral or written as well as real-time decision-making. Chatbots serve as means of learning and teaching, as virtual assistants and social companions. Machine learning algorithms embedded into Chatbots simulate human cognition, including cognitive learning, decision making and adaptation to the environment. Thus, the future of artificial intelligence in Chatbots lies in the development of a global, reliable and sustainable ecosystem of knowledge, skills and values by bringing together all interested stakeholders, such as scientists, consumers, businesses and the state. Such effective customized/personalized learning frameworks depend on sophisticated c...

On the other hand digital skills are in increased demand due to the digital skill gap expanding. Most of the tech nation’s reports have shown that men still outweigh women by 3 to 1. This study aims to expound the relationship between digital technology and women’s leadership in business and society and try to clarify the reasons that women fall short of the demands of the digital sector as it is increasingly growing.

Processes, such as information, consciousness, awareness, conscience depict humans’ layered consciousness state, but also the wholeness, coherence and continuity of human cognition. Awareness contains self-awareness, a fundamental metacognitive ability, through which individuals perceive the internal world of thoughts, reflect, imagine, feel emotions and daydream as well as external awareness, through which individuals perceive the outside world with the help of the five senses. Moreover, neuroplasticity and consciousness are bi-directionally connected; consciousness, on the one hand, is the result of the growing complexity of the brain connectivity and, on the other hand, neuroplasticity stems from reorganizing brain connections through learning activities. The conscious brain is in a perpetual state of learning and evolvement; it learns how to describe and re-des...

However, the control of attentional deployment and more specifically, attempting to provide a more complete account of the interactions between the dorsal and ventral processing streams is still a challenge. The interaction between overt and covert attention is particularly important for models concerned with visual search. Further modeling of such interactions can assist to scrutinize many mechanisms, such as saccadic suppression, dynamic remapping of the saliency map and inhibition of return, covert pre-selection of targets for overt saccades and online understanding of complex visual scenes.

In addition, problem solving is tied to metacognitive awareness processes, necessary for applying executive function skills in goal setting and decision making situations. Therefore, individuals’ overall cognitive flexibility and emotional regulation can promote the quality, quantity and speed of decision-making processes, such as adaptable and creative information processing as well as efficiency in setting and prioritizing goals. Moreover, individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and individuals with other comorbid states, such as older adults, individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can counterbalance their cognitive control deficits through enhancing their problem solving skills. In addi...

More specifically, there is a verified relation between attention and cognitive, metacognitive and emotional processes, such as memory, perception, reasoning as well as inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, self-monitoring and positive moods. In addition, positive mood has been already reciprocally related to a broad attentional scope as well as to an increased cognitive flexibility. Future research should focus on the effects of attentional control on cognitive control processes, thereby, on individuals’ emotional regulation, as a whole. Evidently, an advanced research in the relation of attentional control and emotional regulation could develop a comprehensive methodology for counterbalancing the difficulties facing individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder or even depression.

The research focuses on students’ preferences as regards the composition of their group and the distribution of roles and tasks within it, and finally the evaluation of and the reward for personal and group performance. Data elaboration, statistical and factor analysis showed that students participate more willingly in group work when wider autonomy is provided and their friends participate in the group, although new friendly relationships with the other members are not developed. It also showed that Greek students prefer clearly defined tasks, seek mainly cognitive attainments, want to be assessed on the basis of socio-affective skills development, dislike grade rewards for group work attainments and prefer n...

This article revises on contemporary research concerning ICTs effectiveness on the training and assessment of attention, memory and executive control functions. Artificial intelligence seems to hold a significant role in the field of cognitive training and rehabilitation as its adaptability and interactivity, enhance users’ motivation and involvement. Moreover, artificial intelligence in combination with other applications provides the means for holistic and cost-effective cognitive interventions through its integrative information processes. Evidently, educators and therapists should advocate of improvements in the engineering features of the applications as well as they should, themselves, expand the implementation of the aforementioned technological innovations in favour of the users’ cognition.

Nutrition ap-plications provide the means for automatic dietary intake and energy expenditure measurements as well as person-alised counselling and educational services. Behaviour targeted applications should be appealing and intriguing, as they apply to many people with a variety of needs for a long period of time. Therefore, they should be efficient, accurate and functional. It is a fact that nutrition appli-cations are by all means a cost-effective innovation by reducing the chasm between the individuals in need for constant interaction and their caregivers.

ICTs in coordination with a concrete pedagogical framework may provide students and teachers flexible, engaging, cost-effective and above all, personalized learning experiences, which focus on the adoption of the 21 century cognitive skills into the actual learning process. Such higher order thinking skills (HOTS) entail critical thinking, problem solving, independent inquiry, creativity, communication, collaboration, digital literacy. Therefore, technologically-supported educational environments aim at self-regulated and inquisitive, constructivist, knowledge building rather than knowledge accumulation.

Mindfulness skills are inherently related to top-down processes, such as awareness and reflection as well as bottom-up processes, such as emotional reappraisal, thus they can improve one’s cognitive and emotional regulation. Practitioners become more responsive, calm, and focused while experiencing less stress and distractions. Furthermore, mindfulness has been proven to foster stress resilience and create a great sense of interconnectedness so that it diminishes one’s possible involvement in impulsive behaviors. In addition, these techniques have multiple applications in modern medicine, working environments and school psychology, supported by ICTs to enhance practioners’ health status. Research has be focused on practioners’ mindfulness skills training and assessment throu...
