Cognitive Science |
the study of the mind |
|
|
Cog.Sci addresses |
biological aspects of mind (brain/nervous) philosophical " " (soul, will, counciousness) informational "" (symbols, algorithms) |
|
|
Representation |
or should we say Re-presentation? 'something that stands for something else' that is: something symbolic in the mental world that stands for something in the physical, acting as a shortcut for the brain |
|
|
Requirements of Representation |
1- A representation bearer (material/substrate/symbol) 2- content/non-symbolic referent (the real thing) 3- an interpreter (subjective/objective, self/other) 4- semantics (meaning) 5- Intentionalitiy (relationship between representation and its referent) |
|
|
Grounded representation |
involves a relation between a representation and a referent |
|
|
symbols are used_ |
to represent relations in to operators, mathematical and mental |
|
|
mental operations |
sensation, perception, attention, memeory, language, reasoning, problem solving |
|
|
concept |
an abstract/concrete idea that represents things we have grouped together |
|
|
proposition |
a logical statement/assertation that is provably true/false |
|
|
Production Rule |

Analogy |
mental representation that allows one to compare the unfamiliar with the familiar( a generalization of learning) |
|
|
Syllogism |
3 related logical propositions: premises and conclusion |
|
|
Tri-Level Hypothesis |
1- Computational level 2- Algorithmic level 3- Implementation level |
|
|
Computation level
|
clearly specifies the precise problem space, asks why this is a problem. explores liminations and capability of computation |
|
|
Algorithmic Level |
specifies the way the problem is solved, provides instructions, methods, procedures, to solve the problem |
|
|
Implementation Level |
specifies which medium or substrated can best realize a solution to a problem can be virtual or physical |
|
|
