An attitude is the evaluation or affect associated with a social object. A theory of attitudes should specify (1) how attitude objects are represented, and (2) what kind of representation constitutes an attitude. To the first question, social psychologists long ago anticipated answers that are now attractive to cognitive psychologists. On the second, social psychologists are in need of help tha...
متن کاملWhat Representations Might Underlie Infant Numerical Knowledge?
The sensitivity of young infants to number raises the question of the nature of their numerical representations. We contrast two broad classes of models that have been proposed in the literature: Integer-symbol models and Object-file models. Four infant-addition experiments (1 + 1 = 2 or 1) were conducted. Experiments 1 and 2 showed that the timing of the placement of the screen relative to the...
متن کاملWhat attitudes to risk underlie distortion risk measure choices?
Understanding the attitude to risk implicit within a risk measure sheds some light on the way in which decision makers perceive losses. In this paper, a two-stage strategy is developed to characterize the underlying risk attitude involved in a risk evaluation, when executed by the family of distortion risk measures. First, we show that aggregation indicators defined for discrete Choquet integra...
متن کاملHippocampus Cognitive Processes and Neural Representations that Underlie Declarative Memory
The hippocampus serves a critical role in declarative memory--our capacity to recall everyday facts and events. Recent studies using functional brain imaging in humans and neuropsychological analyses of humans and animals with hippocampal damage have revealed some of the elemental cognitive processes mediated by the hippocampus. In addition, recent characterizations of neuronal firing patterns ...
متن کاملWhat Cognitive Representations Support Primate Theory of Mind?
Much recent work has examined the evolutionary origins of human mental state representations. This work has yielded strikingly consistent results: primates show a sophisticated ability to track the current and past perceptions of others, but they fail to represent the beliefs of others. We offer a new account of the nuanced performance of primates in theory of mind (ToM) tasks. We argue that pr...
