The Social

The spread of misinformation, including “fake news,” propaganda, and conspiracy theories, represents a serious threat to society, as it has the potential to alter beliefs, behavior, and policy. Research is beginning to disentangle how and why misinformation is spread and identify processes that contribute to this social problem. We propose an integrative model to understand the social, political, and cognitive psychology risk factors that underlie the spread of misinformation and highlight strategies that might be effective in mitigating this problem. However, the spread of misinformation is a rapidly growing and evolving problem; thus scholars need to identify and test novel solutions, and work with policy makers to evaluate and deploy these solutions. Hence, we provide a roadmap for future research to identify where scholars should invest their energy in order to have the greatest overall impact.

We are passing through information age with lightning communication speed. Information asset storage in Cloud and retrieval in the net has become the new invisible corporate voyage into the information space. Information Assets are a valuable source of Knowledge for both Information asset creator as well as the user. These are fluid assets that change overtime based on several internal and environmental factors! This paper seeks to address these aspects of Change that impacts such “fluid” Information Assets and the need to raise up to the changing expectations of the millions of users by satisfying the ever growing information hungry businesses. Providing unreliable information and sub-optimal analytical tools can destroy the user in the first instance and can lead to self-destruction as Information asset provider will find no takers in the long run. In this context this assorted information on Change management is chosen carefully and it is hoped, will benefit the reader who may be a technical expert in his field.

Symptom Type

Cognitive psychology became an important discipline in schizophrenia research when information processing deficits were implicated as the basis from which psychotic symptoms emerged (Broen & Storms, 1967; Hemsley, 1977; Frith, 1979). The study of cognition as an independent construct began in earnest when the detection of brain morphological abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) in patients with schizophrenia (Johnstone et al. 1976; Weinberger et al. 1979) prompted the search for behavioural correlates. It became apparent that impairments typical of damage to frontal or medial temporal lobes could be seen in patients with schizophrenia, irrespective of symptom type or severity (Goldberg et al. 1988; McKenna et al. 1990). Since then a number of findings have been replicated sufficiently to make certain conclusions about the nature and extent of cognitive dysfunction in this disorder.

Competition Models

Scientific concepts are defined by metaphors. These metaphors determine what attention is and what count as adequate explanations of the phenomenon. The authors analyze these metaphors within 3 types of attention theories: (a) “cause” theories, in which attention is presumed to modulate information processing (e.g., attention as a spotlight; attention as a limited resource); (b) “effect” theories, in which attention is considered to be a by-product of information processing (e.g., the competition metaphor); and (c) hybrid theories that combine cause and effect aspects (e.g., biased-competition models). The present analysis reveals the crucial role of metaphors in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and the efforts of scientists to find a resolution to the classic problem of cause versus effect interpretations.

The author of the thesis has focused on the mistranslations pointed out in a thesis, entitled with A Study of Howard Goldblatt’s “Mistranslation”, specifically on “seven sisters”. The paper has discussed and defended it from four dimensions. First, semantically speaking, it is spiritual similarity instead of formal one to the original, for it has conveyed the connotative and associative meanings hidden in the original. Second, based on cognitive translation studies, it has embodied the cognitive experience as what the original has done. Third, from cognitive psychology, it is the best representation which language central nerve stimulates the translator to select and match with the original in information processing and communication. Finally, functionally speaking, it is more equivalent to the original than other translations. Therefore, the author holds that “seven sisters” translated by Howard Goldblatt is no mistranslation of “六(liù)个(gè)姐(jiě)姐(jiě)”.
