Why motor simulation cannot explain affordance perception
According to several authors in psychology and neurosciences, our ability to perceive affordances is subtended by motor simulation mechanisms. Such mechanisms provide dynamic representations of feasible actions, thus enabling to scale the surrounding structures on the behavioural repertoire and capacities supported by our body. This attractive hypothesis has been taken up in robotics, to build ...

A common view in epistemology is that some beliefs are more entrenched than others. This view is plausible, but we show that it fails to explain which statements individuals tend to doubt when an incontrovertible fact is inconsistent with the relevant set of statements. We report three studies that each show that the believability of statements is influenced by context. Given a conditional of t...
متن کاملWhy Machines Cannot be
Mental processes are abstracted from a subset of the physical universe ; these, in turn, lead to the world of ideas. Although these ideas include quantum logic, no credible way has yet been found that constructs machines which use superimposed possibilities in the style of quantum logic, more general in computing power to machines based on classical logic. Machine theories are based exclusively...
