Cognitive Modelling of Event Ordering Reasoning in Imagistic Domains
نویسندگان
چکیده
event occurrences in imagistic domains is relevant in several applications in knowledge engineering. In such applications, the order in which events have happened is imprinted in the domain as visual-spatial relations among its elements. Therefore, the interpretation of the relative ordering in which those events have occurred is essential for understanding the domain evolution. We propose a cognitive model for event ordering reasoning within domains whose elements have been modified by past events. From the analysis of cognitive abilities of experts we propose new ontology constructs for knowledge modelling associated to ProblemSolving Methods. We illustrate the effectiveness of the model by means of an application to an imagistic domain.

متن کاملReasoning Over Visual Knowledge
In imagistic domains, such as Medicine, Meteorology and Geology, the tasks are accomplished through intensive use of visual knowledge, offering many challenges to the Computer Science. In this work we focus in an essential task accomplished in many imagistic domains: the visual interpretation task. We call visual interpretation the expert reasoning process that describes a cognitive path that s...
متن کاملExpertise & spatial reasoning in advanced scientific problem solving
Visualization and other forms of spatial cognition are considered fundamental to learning and problem solving in science. This assumption is especially prevalent in organic chemistry where imagistic reasoning is considered to be a primary cognitive activity. While previous research has shown that students are aware of several analytical heuristics and imagistic strategies for problem solving, t...
متن کاملImage and language in human reasoning: a syllogistic illustration.
Existing accounts of syllogistic reasoning oppose rule-based and model-based methods. Stenning and Oberlander (1995) show that the latter are isomorphic to well-known graphical methods, when these are correctly interpreted. We here extend these results by showing that equivalent sentential implementations exist, thus revealing that all these theories are members of a family of abstract individu...
