Perceptions as Hypotheses: Saccades as Experiments

If perception corresponds to hypothesis testing (Gregory, 1980); then visual searches might be construed as experiments that generate sensory data. In this work, we explore the idea that saccadic eye movements are optimal experiments, in which data are gathered to test hypotheses or beliefs about how those data are caused. This provides a plausible model of visual search that can be motivated f...

Lexical Rules As Hypotheses Generators

Developments in computational linguistics lead to the conception of sense extension rules in the lexicon as a theory of regular polysemy. Lexical rules are defined only on such semantic information as is in the lexicon with the desired effect of restricting the amount of semantic information in the lexical representation of ambiguous items. The paper presents some examples which indicate diffic...

Some effects are statistically significant. Other effects do not reach the threshold of statistical significance and are sometimes described as “marginally significant” or as “approaching significance.” Although the concept of marginal significance is widely deployed in academic psychology, there has been very little systematic examination of psychologists’ attitudes toward these effects.

Knowledge-Base Revision Using Implications as Hypotheses

The integration of an assertion stemming from some sender agent into the knowledge base of a receiver agent may be hindered by logical incompatibilities. In the belief-revision scenario the receiver agent trusts the incoming assertion and starts a revision of his knowledge base— resulting in the elimination of some formulas of the knowledge base. In this paper a new family of belief-revision op...

Computer simulations as experiments

Whereas computer simulations involve no direct physical interaction between the machine they are run on and the physical systems they are used to investigate, they are often used as experiments and yield data about these systems. It is commonly argued that they do so because they are implemented on physical machines. We claim that physicality is not necessary for their representational and pred...
