Traditionally, metacognition & higher mental abilities are thought to be exclusively linked to consciousness. However, a growing number of researchers support the idea that nonconscious processes may hold the keys to higher forms of intelligence. Subliminal messages expose individuals to visual or/and auditory stimuli below the threshold of perception. The current review aims to explore the effectiveness of subliminal cues on fundamental aspects of metacognition such as higher cognitive and emotional meta-abilities, affective and behavioral regulation, and academic achievement. In this context, we search for and classify the existing subliminal training techniques, while evaluating the usability of ICTs such as virtual reality, mobile apps, intelligent tutoring systems, and software in subliminal learning and training. The results of this review revealed that subliminal techniques improve all those aspects that assure metacognitive improvements in terms of self- & emotional regulation, higher mental abilities, and behavioral modification. Subliminal cues lower people's shields and update filtering mechanisms enabling people to focus on positive rather than negative interpretations. Subliminal techniques are under the umbrella of metacognitive strategies, since they can used consciously to increase self-regulation capacity as wells as expand the horizons of consciousness. Subliminal teaching techniques can be used by teachers and parents in general and special education to instill higher-level needs & motives, accelerate students’ performance and unfold students’ existing but underdeveloped abilities. Therapists can also utilize these methods to help patients with phobia, anxiety and depression to overcome fear. Subliminal techniques can be also used as a strategy by leaders, mentors, and employees to build trust, inspire and provide humanity with innovative ideas. ICTs provide the ideal environment for implementing subliminal training. However, more research is needed.

“…Next, we apply Recall and Precision measures [21], widely used to evaluate information retrieval systems, in order to assess cars relevance. Precision is defined as the proportion of retrieved documents that are relevant, while Recall is the proportion of relevant documents that are retrieved by the system.…”

Subjective decision problems involve personal feelings and opinions, adding substantial complexity to evaluate different candidate options. In order to deal with this kind of problem, in which individual experience is considered and impacts directly in decision making process, many computational methods have been applied. However, the traditional approaches are often not flexible to consider uncertainties, imprecise situation contexts and idiosyncrasies. In this sense, we present a Hybrid Subjective Decision Support System based on Computational Semiotics and Computational Intelligence techniques. Our approach relies on Case-based Reasoning as the problem solving main methodology and Self-organizing Maps, which acts as pattern recognition tool, in order to organize more appropriately retrieval of similar past cases. Furthermore, a semiotic model handles a prior knowledge (i.e. knowledge acquired from a specialist) and domain specific restrictions to guide the search process towards an appropriate problem solution. In the paper we illustrate how the proposed approach can deal graciously with subjective concepts providing a more intuitive and evident decision making.

“…ICT is an important tool in the daily lives of both people with ASD and their parents. Recently, many studies have examined the use of ICT in the treatment-education of children in the autism spectrum [4] as technology is a way to easily create different situations of normal life and provide many possibilities for the educator resulting in the use of virtual environments to allows the practice with social situations that simulate real-life, improves the educational procedures via Mobiles [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46], various ICTs applications , AI & STEM [82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95], and games [96][97][98][99][100][101].

International research highlights the benefits of parental involvement in education [1] of children with ASD in parent behavioral training programs for children, and particular interest is the involvement of parents in socio-emotional learning programs, an area in which people with ASD, using serious serious digital games [2] and aiming for their emotional empowerment. This paper presents the results and their interpretation, as they emerged from the completion of a questionnaire regarding the views of parents' participation in an educational intervention program to strengthen the emotional intelligence of people with ASD.
