Neorealism: Unifying Cognition and Environment
Recent trends in psychology have revealed increasing discontent toward representational explanations of behavior. However, whether these trends have the conceptual resources to address the full range of cognitive phenomena remains unclear. Here, I defend neorealism (Holt, 1914) as the missing philosophical link between radically embodied cognitive science and a more encompassing psychology. Neo...
متن کاملUnifying Computing and Cognition: The SP Theory and its Applications
This book develops the conjecture that all kinds of information processing in computers and in brains may usefully be understood as"information compression by multiple alignment, unification and search". This"SP theory", which has been under development since 1987, provides a unified view of such things as the workings of a universal Turing machine, the nature of 'knowledge', the interpretation...
متن کاملTowards Unifying Perception and Cognition: The Ubiquity of Trees
Is there a single mechanism that underlies all perceptual and cognitive processing? This paper aims to solve a small part of Newell's challenge (A. Newell 1990, Unified Theories of Cognition, Harvard University Press) and proposes a model that unifies three different modalities: language, music and problem-solving. In doing so, we will focus on tree structures. Trees are ubiquitous in modeling ...
متن کاملUnifying Emotion and Cognition: The Flow Model Approach
Growing experimental evidence shows the fundamental role that emotion plays in intelligent behavior as well as the close relationship between emotion and what is classically known as cognition. Due to this evidence different models have been proposed to support emotion in artificial agents. However, the classical separation between emotion and cognition still prevails, not favoring the definiti...
متن کاملContinuous Formal Systems: A Unifying Model in Language and Cognition
The idea of a calculus or discrete formal system is central to traditional models of language, knowledge, logic, cognition and computation, and it has provided a unifying framework for these and other disciplines. Nevertheless, research in psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and computer science has shown the limited ability of this model to account for the exible, adaptive and creative behavi...
