An Embodied Model for Higher-Level Cognition
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe a cognitive model based on the systemic approach and on the Autopoiesis theory. The syntactical definition of the model consists of logical propositions but the semantic definition includes, besides the usual truth value assignments, what we call emotional flavors, that correspond to the state of the agent’s body translated into cognitive terms. The combination between logical propositions and emotional flavors allows the agent to learn and memorize relevant propositions that can be used for reasoning. These propositions are represented in a specific format – prime implicants/implicates – which is enriched with annotations that explicitly store the internal relations among their literals. Based on this representation, learning, reasoning and memory mechanisms are described.

Emotioncy-Based Language Instruction: A Key to Enhancing EFL Learners' Vocabulary Retention
Given the vital role that vocabulary plays in learning a language along with the fact that sense-induced emotions are noteworthy due to their influence on cognition, this study examined the impact of emotioncy-based language instruction on the long-term memory (LTM) vocabulary retention of Iranian EFL learners. To this end, 32 participants were selected based on their level of trait/state anxie...
متن کاملThe Explanation of effectiveness of student's lived experience in the architectural training process
Abstract: Architecture as a built environment has an important role in the quality of experience. Architecture experience is one of the educational strategies for knowing architecture. In some educational approaches, experience means observation, while based on the embodied cognition, environment experience is more than an observation. According to this approach, lived experience is deepest tha...
متن کاملTowards constructing an Integrative, Multi-Level Model for Cognition: The Function of Semantic Networks
Integrated approaches try to connect different constructs in different theories and reinterpret them using a common conceptual framework. In this research, using the concept of processing levels, an integrated, three-level model of the cognitive systems has been proposed and evaluated. Processing levels are divided into three categories of Feature-Oriented, Semantic and Conceptual Level based o...
متن کاملA Connectionist Approach to Embodied Conceptual Metaphor
A growing body of data has been gathered in support of the view that the mind is embodied and that cognition is grounded in sensory-motor processes. Some researchers have gone so far as to claim that this paradigm poses a serious challenge to central tenets of cognitive science, including the widely held view that the mind can be analyzed in terms of abstract computational principles. On the ot...

Citation: Shalev I (2015) The architecture of embodied cue integration: insight from the " motivation as cognition " perspective. Front. Psychol. 6:658. At the core of embodied cognition research is the assumption that higher level processing is grounded in the organism's lower level sensory and motor experiences (Barsalou, 1999, 2008; Meier et al., 2012; Winkielman et al., 2015b). Past researc...
