This paper presents two approaches for generating and executing the plans of cognitive agents. They can be used to define the semantics of programming languages for cognitive agents. The first approach generates plans before executing them while the second approach interleaves the generation and execution of plans. Both approaches are presented formally and their relation is investigated.

In a recent meta-analysis, Khemlani & Johnson-Laird (2012) showed that the conclusions drawn by human reasoners in psychological experiments about syllogistic reasoning are not the conclusions predicted by classical first-order logic. Moreover, current cognitive theories deviate significantly from the empirical data. In this paper we show how human syllogistic reasoning can be modelled under th...

Identifying aspect semantics as study of linguistic life of concepts, this paper describes various paths by which language extends and grows. At the center of this approach are such notions as “an aspect of a class of concepts” and a “spectrum of aspects of a concept”. Three different paths are described: Cognitive Modification, Cognitive Expansion and Cognitive Extension and rules formalizing ...
