Abstract:
For elucidating the mechanism of brain activations with the maternal five senses, we propose investigating the connection between cognitive functions and prefrontal hemodynamics in a women's brain during a time of pregnancy and child raising. As a proof-of-concept of the proposal, we examined the prefrontal hemodynamics corresponding to functional changes in maternal hearing, which is one of the maternal five senses during pregnancy and child raising. Based on the progress of our subjects' child raising, we divided them into four female groups: postnatal: group-I, within only a year; group-II, approximately 2 years; group-III, more than 10 years, and nonpregnant: group-IV. We instructed them to carry out five kinds of tests: simple reaction, SR; choice reaction, CR; working memory, WM; one card learning, OC; and divided attention, DA using card games through a cognitive function test called "CogHealth". Hemodynamic changes at the prefrontal areas were measured using a multi-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) apparatus equipped with 3×5 probes (22 ch). And we used two hearing tasks: the sound of baby crying, and the Chopin's nocturne as a control. According to the results of the four groups in connection with the hemispheric asymmetry in their prefrontal hemodynamics, there were noticeable asymmetries in each group in the hemodynamics with the two hearing tasks. The most significant asymmetry in the hemodynamics was observed in the postnatal group-I (within only a year). Concerning the time flame of changes in the CogHealth scores, we took notice of the fact that the response time for DA task temporarily failed at a point of twelve months after childbearing. An increase in the response time was observed just after the twelve months interval; however, the accuracy of the response tended to be gradually declined after the interval. We assumed that these transient fails might occur due to postnatal changes in a women's brain cultivated during their child raising with a strong emotional response; quick, appropriate and adaptable to a child's capability. As it turned out, our findings confirm the close connection between cognitive functions and prefrontal hemodynamics in a women's brain during their child raising.Keywords:

This paper, through examination of definition of the world, holds that, empiric cognition treats objective world as its cognitive objects, but empiric cognition itself is not self-sufficing, and it depends on empiric cognition as its prerequisite; a priori cognition is not self-sufficing either, though it is prerequisite for a priori cognition. It requires transcendent cognition as its prerequisite. Transcendent cognition stands alone and is ultimate resource of human cognition. Human cognition is listening and reply to transcendent cognition

How can approaching the topic of 4E cognition from an evolutionary perspective shed light on aspects of cultural and biological evolution, the nature of cognition in general, and of human nature in particular? The four papers in this section offer a temporal analysis that puts cognition into a context of larger processes that span historical and indeed evolutionary time, and they embed the dynamics of cognition beyond brains and individuals, into groups and even species. This analysis does not deny the importance of abstract representations for human cognition. However, all four contributions suggest that in focusing too narrowly on representational cognition we lose sight of the basic mechanisms supporting and driving cognition. Furthermore, to understand these, we need to understand not only how these processes are embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended, but also how they are shaped, transmitted, and diversified in processes of group formation.

Cognition is a process that reflects or conceptually represents the reality in human mind. No matter which is concerned, the self or the world where one lives, human cognition and his knowledge feature incertitude. The limits of cognition show that neither cognition-as-process nor cognition-as-status could evade the problem of cognition possibility. Intrinsically, the limits of cognition and possibility of individual cognition both result from separation of subject and object and opposition of mind and body. Therefore, settlement of mind-body problem is central to the problems above.

Traditional views separate cognitive processes from sensory-motor processes, seeing cognition as amodal, propositional, and compositional, and thus fundamentally different from the processes that underlie perceiving and acting. These were the ideas on which cognitive science was founded 30 years ago. However, advancing discoveries in neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and psychology suggests that cognition may be inseparable from processes of perceiving and acting. From this perspective, this study considers the future of cognitive science with respect to the study of cognitive development.

Cognitive ability is the skill for human beings to be engaged in cognitive activities. It has a variety of forms and is the unity of natural and social functions. Process of cognition is the course in which a human being can play his role. Cognitive activities and cognitive ability can at no time be separated because there exist internal relations. Nature of cognition is the basic feature of cognition as well as the special feature for cognitive ability to play its part in such a process.

Cognitive effect is the achievement of cognitive subject’s cognitive purpose.Human’s cognitive effect is prodigiously affected by cognitive frequency in the process of human’s cognition.Vertical frequency of cognition is the number of cognition in unit time.Horizontal frequency of cognition is how many cognitive channels used at one time.Virtual cognition is a whole frequency cognitive style.Cognitive effect can be greatly improved by virtual cognition.This study shows the mathematical model between the cognitive effects and cognitive frequency.
