Spatial Reasoning as Verbal Reasoning
We introduce an approach for how spatial reasoning can be conceived as verbal reasoning. We describe a theory of how humans construct a mental representation given onedimensional spatial relations. In this construction process objects are inserted in a dynamic structure called a “queue” which provides an implicit direction. The spatial interpretation of this direction can be chosen freely. This...
متن کاملLogic and Reasoning
Logic captures the implications among sentences. A logical calculus consists of a precise definition of a language and a set of rules of inference that can be used to derive conclusions from premises. The rules are formal, that is, they operate on the form of sentences, not their meaning. The calculus, however, may have a semantics, which provides interpretations for all the sentences in the la...
متن کاملAction, verbal response and spatial reasoning.
Studies have shown that perception of distance, orientation and size can be dissociated from action tasks. The action system seems to possess more veridical, unbiased information than the perceptual/verbal system. The current study examines the nature of the distinction between action and verbal responses in a spatial reasoning task. Participants imagined themselves facing different orientation...
متن کاملVerbal Behavior and Cultural Practices
Three kinds of selection are reviewed with primary focus on the relations between behavioral and cultural contingencies. Operant behavior is briefly examined with regard to cultural materialist theory. The functions of verbal behavior in infrastructural and superstructural practices are suggested. Discrepancies between rules promulgated in the superstructure and the requirements of the infrastr...
متن کاملEpisodic Logic: Natural Logic + Reasoning
There are two extreme stances in mechanizing natural language inference. One seeks to reformulate a raw message so as to conform with the syntax and semantics of some formal logical system (such as FOL) suited for reliable, potentially deep general reasoning. The other uses what has become known as Natural Logic—an easy but shallow way of treating natural language itself as logic and reasoning ...
