Sortal Structures: Supporting Representational Flexibility for Building Domain Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a formal approach to representational flexibility, sorts, to support alternative representations of an entity. The approach is constructive, based on a part relation on elements within a sort, which enables the recognition of emergent information. The use of data functions as a sort provides for the embedding of data queries within a representational structure. We discuss the application of sorts to supporting alternative data views, illustrating this through a case study in building

Sortal concepts, object individuation, and language.
Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary enterprise. This review highlights how the philosophical notion of a 'sortal'--a concept that provides principles of individuation and principles of identity - has been introduced into cognitive developmental psychology. Although the notion 'sortal' originated in metaphysics, importing it into the cognitive sciences has bridged a gap between philosophic...
متن کاملThe hippocampus and the flexible use and processing of language
Fundamental to all human languages is an unlimited expressive capacity and creative flexibility that allow speakers to rapidly generate novel and complex utterances. In turn, listeners interpret language "on-line," incrementally integrating multiple sources of information as words unfold over time. A challenge for theories of language processing has been to understand how speakers and listeners...
متن کاملModel building for conceptual change
Conceptual change is a popular, contemporary conception of meaningful learning. Conceptual change describes changes in conceptual frameworks (mental models or personal theories) that learners construct to comprehend phenomena. Different theories of conceptual change describe the reorganization of conceptual frameworks that results from different forms of activity. We argue that learners’ concep...
متن کاملEmpirical and conceptual challenges for neurocognitive theories of language production
Strijkers and Costa (2015) discuss three issues that challenge current theories of the neurocognitive dynamics of speech production. We focus on their latter two lines of argumentation. In the first of these, Strijkers and Costa (2015) draw on electrophysiological evidence to argue that interaction with other cognitive processes leads to flexibility in the spatio-temporal dynamics of spoken pro...
متن کاملEarthquake Analysis of Base Isolated Structures Including Soil-Structure Interaction
A frequency domain dynamic analysis is needed to obtain the response of structures constructed on a system of base isolators on flexible soil when subjected to earthquake ground motion. In such systems, the lateral stiffness of the base isolators is so small, compared to the structural stiffness, that in an earthquake attack the fundamental vibration mode dominates the response. With this in mi...
