Urban monuments encompass a wide range of architectural works either intentionally or unintentionally. These works are often salient due to their inherently explicit or hidden components and qualities in the urban context. Therefore, they affect the mental-spatial representations of the environment and make the city legible. However, the ambiguity of effective components often complicates their...

During mental actions subjects feel themselves performing a movement without any corresponding motor output. Although broad information is available regarding the influence of central lesions on action representation, little is known about how peripheral damages affect mental events. In the current study, we investigated whether lack of vestibular information influences action representation. T...

In everyday life it happens that a person has to reason about what other people think and how they behave, in order to achieve his goals. In other words, an individual may be required to adapt his behaviour by reasoning about the others’ mental state. In this paper we focus on a knowledge representation language derived from logic programming which both supports the representation of mental sta...

Three experiments investigated the mental representation of meaningful event sequences. Experiment 1 used extended (5 min long) naturalistic scenes excerpted from commercial movies. Experiments 2 and 3 presented everyday activities by means of sequences of six photographs. All experiments found both left-right and distance effects in an order decision task, suggesting that when contemplated in ...

level of representation. Instead we will propose a treatment that assumes syntactic integrity of lexical items. It makes crucial use of a Davidsonian semantics both of eventive and stative predicates. The second part deals with the partial resolution of the ambiguity by means of word order and intonation in German. We will argue that this is the result of a process of pragmatic strengthening, a...

Spend your few moment to read a book even only few pages. Reading book is not obligation and force for everybody. When you don't want to read, you can get punishment from the publisher. Read a book becomes a choice of your different characteristics. Many people with reading habit will always be enjoyable to read, or on the contrary. For some reasons, this mental representation and processing of...

Lemma 2.1 Let V a vector field on M and let T t F , t ∈ R be the functional representations of the diffeomorphisms Φt V : M→M of the one parameter group associated to the flow of V . If D is a linear partial differential operator then DV ◦D = D◦DV if and only if for any t ∈ R, T t F ◦D = D◦T t F . Proof Let p ∈ M and f ∈ C∞(M) be a smooth function. If V (p) = 0, then Φt V (p) = p and DV ( f )(p...
