Special Issue: Probabilistic models of cognition Probabilistic models of cognition: Conceptual foundations
Remarkable progress in the mathematics and computer science of probability has led to a revolution in the scope of probabilistic models. In particular, ‘sophisticated’ probabilistic methods apply to structured relational systems such as graphs and grammars, of immediate relevance to the cognitive sciences. This Special Issue outlines progress in this rapidly developing field, which provides a p...
متن کاملProbabilistic models of cognition 1 Running head: PROBABILISTIC MODELS OF COGNITION Probabilistic models of cognition: Exploring the laws of thought
Cognitive science aims to reverse-engineer the mind, and many of the engineering challenges the mind faces involve inductive inference. The probabilistic approach to modeling cognition begins with the goal of understanding these inductive problems in computational terms: what makes them difficult, and how they can be solved in principle. Mental processes are then modeled using algorithms for ap...
متن کاملFolk Theory of Mind: Conceptual Foundations of Social Cognition*
The human ability to represent, conceptualize, and reason about mind and behavior is one of the greatest achievements of human evolution and is made possible by a “folk theory of mind” — a sophisticated conceptual framework that relates different mental states to each other and connects them to behavior. This chapter examines the nature and elements of this framework and its central functions f...
متن کاملFolk Theory of Mind: Conceptual Foundations of Human Social Cognition
The ability to represent, conceptualize, and reason about mental states is one of the greatest achievements of human evolution. Having an appreciation for the workings of the mind is considered a prerequisite for natural language acquisition (Baldwin & Tomasello, 1998), strategic social interaction (McCabe, Smith, & LePore, 2000), reflexive thought (Bogdan, 2000), and moral development (Hoffman...
متن کاملFoundations of Temporal Conceptual Data Models
This chapter considers the different temporal constructs appeared in the literature of temporal conceptual models (timestamping and evolution constraints), and it provides a coherent model-theoretic formalisation for them. It then introduces a correct and succinct encoding in a subset of first-order temporal logic, namely DLRUS – the description logic DLR extended with the temporal operators Si...
