Categorization, prototype theory and neural dynamics
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Model of categorization plausible from the neuro-biological point of view is outlined. A link between neu-ral systems and the theory of psychological spaces is presented , leading to a model of mind in which physics of mental events is determined by neural dynamics. This model is used to discuss psychological category learning experiments.

On Simplifying Brain Functions
A new approximation to the dynamics of neocortex, preserving essential functions but not the microstructure, is presented. Local feature spaces are used to replace neurodynamics of neural cell assemblies in categorization, approximation and generalization processes. A global workspace (mind space), resulting from cooperation among local feature spaces, facilitates memory-based reasoning. Implem...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Decision and Action: Simulating Response Dynamics in Categorization
A neural network simulation of taxonomic categorization is presented. Parameters of the model permit exploration of different interactivity between cognitive processing and a simple output component. By matching the simulation with human data, the model reveals that fluid interaction between cognition and action may be what produces graded response dynamics observed in human categorization expe...
متن کاملDecoding the Brain’s Algorithm for Categorization from Its Neural Implementation
Acts of cognition can be described at different levels of analysis: what behavior should characterize the act, what algorithms and representations underlie the behavior, and how the algorithms are physically realized in neural activity [1]. Theories that bridge levels of analysis offer more complete explanations by leveraging the constraints present at each level [2-4]. Despite the great potent...
متن کاملPrototype Theory and the Categorization of the English Tense System
This paper attempts to address an important concept--prototypicality ---in cognitive studies on the categorization of the English tense system, and raises the grammatical and functional approaches to the tense system to the level of universal cognition. On the theoretical basis of prototype theory, this research addresses the prototype of category TENSE, its cognitive features, and the mechanis...
متن کاملDynamic Categorization of Semantics of Fashion Language: A Memetic Approach
Categories are not invariant. This paper attempts to explore the dynamic nature of semantic category, in particular, that of fashion language, based on the cognitive theory of Dawkins’ memetics, a new theory of cultural evolution. Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...
