Cognitive maps and novel inferences: a flexibility hierarchy

Hierarchy in Cognitive Maps and the Simplicity Principle

The aim of this paper is to relate the research on cognitive maps, mental representations of the external world, which are thought to be organized hierarchically, with the simplicity principle, a formal version of Occam’s Razor inductive bias, which states that short hypotheses are to be preferred over longer ones. First, I will describe some important properties of hierarchical structures and ...

Z-Cognitive Map: An Integrated Cognitive Maps and Z-Numbers Approach under Cognitive Information

Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...

wuthering heights and the concept of marality/a sociological study of the novel

to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...

A Hierarchy of Maps Between Compacta

This paper, a continuation of [2]–[8], aims to carry on the project of establishing model-theoretic concepts and methods within the topological context; namely that of compacta (i.e., compact Hausdorff spaces). Since there is a precise duality between the categories of compacta (plus continuous maps) and commutative B-algebras (plus nonexpansive linear maps) (the Gel’fand-Năımark theorem [21]),...
