How toddlers represent enclosed spaces
Recent findings indicate that toddlers can use geometric cues to locate an object hidden in a corner of a rectangular room after being disoriented [Cognition 61 (1996) 195]. It has been suggested that locating the object involves reestablishing one’s initial heading. The present experiments examine search behavior after disorientation. We find that toddlers go directly to a particular corner, i...
متن کاملHow Theories Represent
An account of scientific representation in terms of partial structures and partial morphisms is further developed. It is argued that the account addresses a variety of difficulties and challenges that have recently been raised against such formal accounts of representation. This allows some useful parallels between representation in science and art to be drawn, particularly with regard to appar...
متن کاملHow Pilots Represent Risk
Pilots are front-line operators in a system, civil aviation, which is inherently risky. For good reasons, much effort has been devoted to the tasks of creating objective measures of risk and of devising systems of risk management in aviation as well as other process industries. It is commonly assumed that risk perception and risk management are elements of pilot decision making. But what do we ...
متن کاملHow do feature maps represent?
Three different ways to understand the representational content of the feature maps employed in early vision are compared. First is Stephen Kosslyn's claim, entered as part of the debate over mental imagery, that such areas support "depictive" representation, and that visual perception uses them as depictive representations. Reasons are given to doubt this view. Second, an improved version of w...
متن کاملHow to Represent Measurement Errors ?
What is the set of possible values of a measurement error? In the majority of practical applications, an error is caused not by a single cause; it is caused by a large number of independent causes, each of which adds a small component to the total error. As a result, we get a geometric description of the area of possible values of error. In this paper, we formulate the known result (for 1-dimen...
