Casimir: An Architecture for Mental Spatial Knowledge Processing
Mental spatial knowledge processing often uses spatio-analogical or quasipictorial representation structures such as spatial mental models or mental images. The cognitive architecture Casimir is designed to provide a framework for computationally modeling human spatial knowledge processing relying on these kinds of representation formats. In this article, we present an overview of Casimir and i...
متن کاملModeling Cognitive Control in Mental Spatial Knowledge Processing
Human reasoning about spatial problems, like, for example, planning a route or designing a building, can be conceived as arising from—at least—three functionally distinct components: Long-term memory, working memory, and an externalization component. Long-term memory permanently retains all of the spatial knowledge a person has encountered and encoded previously. This knowledge may be retrieved...
متن کاملMental Processing of Geographic Knowledge
The contribution presents a computational modeling approach to geographic knowledge processing in mind. Geographic knowledge is assumed to be stored in a piecemeal manner. Spatial knowledge fragments form a hierarchical structure of lean knowledge. An actual mental image representation is constructed when needed to perform a specific task. In this construction process missing information is com...
متن کاملMental Simulation in Spatial Language Processing
There is mounting evidence that language comprehension involves the activation of mental simulations (Barsalou 1999a) of the content of utterances (Barsalou 1999b, Stanfield and Zwaan 2001, Zwaan et al. 2002, Richardson et al. 2003, Bergen et al. 2003, Narayanan et al. 2004, Bergen et al. 2004). These simulations can have motor or perceptual content. Three main questions about the process remai...
متن کاملKnowledge-based seismogram processing by mental images
AbstructThe impact of pictorial knowledge representation is demonstrated for two examples of time series analysis in seismology. The approaches perform a) automated recognition of known event signatures and b) high-resolution onset timing of later phases. Both methods work well under extreme conditions of noise and achieved human-like performance in recognizing known situations. Crucial for thi...
