Mind: Introduction to Cognitive Science - A Review

literature and theories put forth to date. Thagard summarizes results of research to date: “the central hypothesis of cognitive science: Thinking can best be understood in terms of representational structures in the mind and computational procedures that operate on those structures” (p. 10). He uses a shorthand notation for this approach: the computational-representational understanding of mind...

A Cognitive Model of Theory of Mind

It is generally well acknowledged that humans are capable of having a theory of mind (ToM) of others. We present here a model which borrows mechanisms from three dissenting explanations of how ToM develops and functions, and show that our model behaves in accordance with various ToM experiments (Wellman, Cross, & Watson, 2001; Leslie, German, & Polizzi, 2005).

Deficits of ‘Cognitive’ and ‘Affective’ Theory of Mind in Euthymic Bipolar Patients Type I

Objective: This study aimed to assess deficits of cognitive and emotional aspects of theory of mind in patients with bipolar disorder type 1 within a remission period. Methods: In this case- control study, 30 bipolar patients and 30 normal individuals were selected through Purposive sampling method for the purpose of the study. Then, they were matched based on their educational ...

Modelling Theory Communities in Science

This position paper presents a framework for modelling theory communities where theories interact as agents in a conceptual network. It starts with introducing the difficulties in integrating scientific theories by discussing some recent approaches, especially of structuralist theory of science. Theories might differ in reference, extension, scope, objectives, functions, architecture, language ...
