One of the principles of learning is elaboration on information [ 18], which means obtaining information from different resources.
33 Indeed, the elaboration of information and learning capacities of patients in the LSS-tele group could have compromised a successful storage of new information in the long-term episodic memory.
Behavioral data revealed higher advertising effectiveness for negative mood conditions, because of higher elaboration of product information.
Self-explanation promotes knowledge development and revision of mental representations through elaboration on new information, organisation and integration of new knowledge into existing cognitive structures and monitoring of the learning process.
By this view, elaboration involves making information more integrated and organized with existing knowledge structures.
Such processes require different tasks and activities including goal elaboration and definition, information seeking and recording, forecasting and planning, decision making, performing goal-oriented actions and operations, and action control and reflection (Dörner and Wearing 1995).
Dörner and Wearing (1995) emphasize that the process of action regulation within problem solving can be subdivided into the following partial activities: goal elaboration and definition; information seeking and recording; forecasting, and planning; decision-making; performing goal-oriented operations; and monitoring and reflection of outcomes.
Undoubtedly, the core mirror neuron areas, as described previously (see Figure 1), are anatomically connected with many other regions that contribute significantly to the subsequent elaboration of the information [ 49, 50].
For emotion processing, it is well known that there is a mechanism of automatic appraisal which involves the implicit memory and a conscious elaboration of emotional information with involvement of the explicit memory (Ledoux, 2000; Whalen et al., 1998).
Furthermore, it will be assumed that problem-solving activities including goal elaboration and definition (H1b), information seeking (H1c), information recording (H1d), forecasting and planning (H1e), decision-making (H1f), performing goal-oriented actions and operations (H1g), and action control and reflection (H1h) are associated with stress responses.
